“You have to protect yourself and the children in case the worst comes to light…” Paramount+ has unveiled an official trailer for a new mini-series titled Little Disasters, adapted from the book of the same name by Sarah Vaughan. This six-part psychological thriller series will premiere all episodes starting in December. When perfect stay-at-home Jess rushes her baby to the ER with a head injury, she’s treated by one of her closest friends, Liz. Alarmed by Jess’ behavior, Liz calls social services, triggering an major chain of events – that ripples, fractures and nearly destroys not only their families but also their entire friendship group. Directed by BAFTA nominee Eva Sigurðardóttir (Good Night, Rainbow Party), the series pairs realism and suspense to create an intimate yet unnerving portrait of modern motherhood. Anchored by Diane Kruger, the ensemble cast also includes Jo Joyner, Shelley Conn, Emily Taaffe, JJ Feild, Ben Bailey Smith, Patrick Baladi, & Stephen Campbell Moore. This series looks like it gets as intense as the other British parents series Adolescence, but this time focused on mothers feuding with other mothers. It’s worth a look.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Paramount+’s series Little Disasters, direct from YouTube:

The intimate mini-series Little Disasters focuses on a decade-long friendship among Jess (Diane Kruger), Liz (Jo Joyner), Charlotte (Shelley Conn) & 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. However, when perfect stay-at-home mother Jess takes her baby daughter to 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 also their entire friendship group. Little Disasters is a series created and written by Ruth Fowler (of “Rules of the Game” series). With additional writing by Amanda Duke; adapted from the bestselling novel by Sarah Vaughan. With episodes directed by Icelandic filmmaker Eva Sigurðardóttir (of the series “Fractures”, “Domino Day: Lone Witch”). Executive produced by Marianna Abbotts, Sarah Vaughan, Ash Atalla, Simon Judd, Alex Smith. Paramount will debut Little Disasters streaming on Paramount+ starting December 11th, 2025 coming soon.
