Alum Nicole Kassell will be the lead director and executive producer on HBO and Sky’s darkly comic horror series The Baby.
The series has an all-female writers room to tell the story of 38-year-old Natasha, who is unexpectedly landed with a baby. Her life of doing what she wants, when she wants, dramatically implodes. Controlling, manipulative, and with violent powers, the baby twists Natasha’s life into a horror show.
In an interview with Deadline, Kassell said: “I read Sian’s brilliant script early in lockdown, and it cut straight through the noise and anxiety of our times, to take me on a wild, zany ride with wonderfully complex women grappling with the toughest of decisions any of us are lucky enough to make – to have or not have a child.”
The Baby will be an eight-part series, and will start production in 2021.
