A heartbreaking but ultimately heartwarming portrayal of a couple trying to have a baby.
Season 1: 6 x 60’
Starring award-winning, critically acclaimed actor Paapa Essiedu and Siobhán Cullen, and written and directed by BAFTA winner Stefan Golaszewski, Babies is a gripping, warm and urgent love story about a couple struggling through the experience of pregnancy loss. Thirtysomethings Lisa and Stephen suffer multiple miscarriages; their hope heroic in the face of grief.
As the audience yearns for them, roots for them, and feels for them, there is always the glow of hope, humour and love. Deeply relatable, connecting with the audience about their own loves and losses, touching them in the places TV rarely goes, and with plenty of light to balance the darkness, Babies is a riveting, uplifting and lasting emotional experience like no other.
