Paramount+ has unveiled the first teaser for its six-part psychological thriller Little Disasters — led by Diane Kruger — which will release domestically in its entirety on the streamer Dec. 11.
Adapted from Anatomy of a Scandal author Sarah Vaughan’s bestselling novel of the same name, the limited series comes from the BAFTA-winning creative team at Roughcut Television (Coma, Big Boys) in association with Fremantle. Little Disasters premiered earlier this year on Paramount+ in the UK and Ireland.
The series focuses on the decade-long friendship among Jess (Kruger), Liz (Jo Joyner), Charlotte (Shelley Conn) and Mel (Emily Taaffe), four expectant mothers who were thrown together with little in common apart from their due dates but who have been there for one another throughout motherhood. When perfect stay-at-home mom Jess takes her baby daughter to the hospital with a head injury that she can’t explain, her close friend and on-duty ER doctor Liz must make the excruciating decision of whether to call social services, which sets in motion a chain of events that fractures not only their friendship, but also their families.
In addition to the foursome, JJ Feild, Ben Bailey Smith, Patrick Baladi and Stephen Campbell Moore also star.
Adapted for the screen by Ruth Fowler and Amanda Duke, the series is executive produced by Ash Atalla, Alex Smith and Marianna Abbotts for Roughcut Television, with Vaughan also on board. Simon Judd serves as EP for Fremantle, with BAFTA-nominated Eva Sigurðardóttir directing and Myf Hopkins producing. Fremantle handles global sales.
