Announced earlier this year, HBO and Sky are reteaming with “Chernobyl” producer Sister for the horror-comedy series “The Baby” from debut screenwriter Siân Robins-Grace, and Deadline reports today that Nicole Kassell (“Watchmen”) has now boarded the project.
Kassell will be the lead director & exec producer of the darkly comedic HBO series.
“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.”
Deadline notes, “Sister has assembled an all-female writers room to support Robins-Grace. It will feature Sophie Goodhart (Sex Education), Kara Smith (Kaos), Anchuli Felicia King (White Pearl), and Susan Stanton (Succession). Bisha K. Ali (Ms. Marvel) will act as a consultant.”
The eight-part series is set to begin shooting next year.
