HBO and Sky are reteaming with “Chernobyl” producer Sister for the dark comic horror series “The Baby”, from debut screenwriter Siân Robins-Grace, says Deadline, who also notes it’s already been ordered to series with plans to shoot it in the UK next year.
“The Baby” is a raw examination of motherhood as an institution: a set of unspoken rules that affect women differently depending on how they’re viewed by society.
“When 38-year-old Natasha 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. Where does it come from? What does it want? And what lengths will Natasha have to go to in order to get her life back? She doesn’t want a baby. The baby wants her.”
“With ‘The Baby’, we want to explore the powerful anxiety around the question of whether or not to have children,” said co-creators Robins-Grace and Lucy Gaymer of the eight-part series. “The ambivalence of not knowing, the bafflement at everyone else’s certainty and the suspicion that the whole thing is one millennia-long scam.”
“’The Baby’ gives voice to all the women who just don’t know,” added Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, while Cameron Roach, Director of Drama, Sky Studios exclaimed, “’The Baby’ is by turns dark, comedic, and horrifying.”
