Shakespeare and Hathaway star Jo Joyner has teamed up with a starry cast for a new drama, and it looks amazing.
Starring Jo alongside Diane Kruger, Shelley Conn and Emily Taaffe, the psychological thriller, Little Disasters, is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Sarah Vaughan, the bestselling author of Anatomy of a Scandal, and follows the friendship of Jess, Liz, Mel and Charlotte.
© BBCThe synopsis reads: "[The show] centres on a decade-long friendship between Jess, Liz, Mel and Charlotte, four expectant mothers thrown together in an antenatal class with little in common apart from their due dates but who have been there for one another throughout motherhood.
"The series is a complex psychological thriller with a mystery at its heart, exploring female friendship and motherhood. At the heart of the mystery is Jess, the seemingly perfect stay-at-home mother whose world begins to fracture when she brings her baby daughter to the hospital with a head injury she can’t explain.

With one phone call, Liz sets in motion a chain of events that ripples, fractures and nearly destroys not only their families but their entire friendship group.

Each of the women harbors judgments about each other, but these ultimately become judgments about themselves, all secretly whispering the same insidious question: am I a bad mother?"
The first look images portray the four women dealing with the fallout of Liz's decision, who are joined by co-stars including The Split actor Ben Bailey-Smith, Austenland's JJ Feild and Patrick Baladi.
Although the show doesn't have an airdate just yet, it is set to land on Paramount+ this spring, so stay tuned!
