LITTLE DISASTERS
An adaptation of the hit novel of the same name from bestselling author Sarah Vaughan (Anatomy of a Scandal), LITTLE DISASTERS is a complex psychological thriller with a mystery at its heart. Taut and propulsive, the series centres on the friendship between Jess (Diane Kruger), Liz (Jo Joyner), Mel (Emily Taaffe) and Charlotte (Shelley Conn), four expectant mothers who met ten years prior in an antenatal class, with little in common apart from their due dates. They have since
formed lasting friendships and supported each other through motherhood, until now.
The world of seemingly perfect stay-at-home mother Jess begins to unravel when she brings her baby daughter Betsy to the hospital with a head injury she can’t explain. Her close friend and on-duty A&E doctor, Liz, must make the excruciating decision of whether to call social services.
​
The new trailer propels audiences into the heart of the drama, where the consequences of Liz’s decision to report Jess to social services sets a chain of events in motion, rippling, fracturing and nearly destroying not only their families but their entire friendship group.
Plunged into the mystery, the threat of police and social services hangs over Jess and her workaholic husband, Ed (JJ Feild), pushing them to their limits as their perfect life crumbles around them. Also seen in the trailer are Shelley Conn, Emily Taaffe, Ben Bailey-Smith, Patrick Baladi and Stephen Campbell Moore as they deal with the fallout and their close friendship shatters, revealing judgments and prejudice as everyone questions what really happened to Betsy.
