“Little Disasters” 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.
Directed by BAFTA nominee Eva Sigurðardóttir (“Good Night,” “Rainbow Party”), the show was adapted by Ruth Fowler and Amanda Duke with a producing team that features Myf Hopkins, Ash Atalla, Alex Smith, and Marianna Abbotts for Roughcut Television, Sarah Vaughan, and Simon Judd of Fremantle.
