From Adorable Media, The Trial, a new one-off drama special set in a world in which parents are held legally responsible for the crimes of their children, is headed to 5 in the U.K.
“This marks an exciting new direction in our drama slate, embracing one-off, high-impact storytelling that sparks conversation,” said Paul Testar, commissioning editor for drama at 5. “We’re excited to work with Adorable Media, which has put together an exceptional team to tell this fascinating story.”
Richelle Wilder, producer at Adorable Media, noted, “This is our first time working with 5, whose extraordinary support allowed Adorable Media to produce a highly original, thought-provoking and emotional drama.”
Claire Skinner (Outnumbered, Coma) and Ben Miles (Andor, Douglas is Cancelled) lead the cast of the new commission alongside Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Derry Girls, The Doll Factory). Jaz Hutchins and India Fowler also star in the one-hour production.
