Chaos and drama abound in the first trailer for the Paramount+ series Little Disasters, starring Diane Kruger as Jess Carrisford, available above. The limited series premieres on December 11, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, GSA, Italy and Latin America.
The six-part psychological thriller is an adaptation of the Sarah Vaughan novel of the same name by Ruth Fowler and Amanda Duke. The series focuses on a decade-long friendship among Jess (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.
JJ Feild, Ben Bailey Smith, Patrick Baladi and Stephen Campbell Moore also star.
Executive producers include Ash Atalla, Alex Smith and Marianna Abbotts for Roughcut Television and Sarah Vaughan. Simon Judd executive produces for Fremantle, with Eva Sigurðardóttir directing and Myf Hopkins producing.
