Little Disasters First Look with Diane Kruger and Jo Joyner
Paramount+ has revealed the teaser trailer and key art for Little Disasters, the six-part psychological thriller adapted from the bestselling novel by Sarah Vaughan (Anatomy of a Scandal), which will debut all episodes on Thursday, December 11, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, GSA, Italy, and Latin America.
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 U.K. and Ireland.
Little Disasters focuses on a decade-long friendship among Jess (Diane 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 have been there for one another throughout motherhood.
When perfect stay-at-home mother 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.
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.
Anchored by Diane Kruger, the ensemble cast includes Jo Joyner (The Wives, For Her Sins, Shakespeare & Hathaway), Shelley Conn (Gen V, Alex Rider, Bridgerton), Emily Taaffe (The Rising, The Beast Must Die, War and Peace), and JJ Feild (Turn, Austenland, The Peripheral).
Ben Bailey Smith (Andor, The Split, Brief Encounters), Patrick Baladi (The Hack, DI Ray Ted Lasso), and Stephen Campbell Moore (The History Boys, Masters of the Air, Criminal Record) round out the cast.
Directed by BAFTA nominee Eva Sigurðardóttir (Good Night, Rainbow Party), the series pairs realism and suspense to create an intimate yet unnerving portrait of modern motherhood.
Little Disasters was adapted for the screen by Ruth Fowler and Amanda Duke, with executive producers Ash Atalla, Alex Smith, and Marianna Abbotts for Roughcut Television, and Sarah Vaughan also on board.
Simon Judd executive produces for Fremantle, with Eva Sigurðardóttir directing and Myf Hopkins producing. Fremantle handles global sales.
