DON’T MISS IT!! EastEnders fans must watch star’s Big Little Lies-style drama about ‘parenting hell’

A new drama series, Little Disasters, based on a novel by Sarah Vaughan, the author of Sunday Times bestseller Anatomy of a Scandal, is set to hit streaming platforms soon. The upcoming series, which explores themes of motherhood and friendship, has already been likened to popular shows such as Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere.

The six-part series delves into challenging topics including parenting struggles, marriage, postnatal anxiety, and maternal OCD, through the lens of four distinctly different women who share nothing more than their due dates.

The cast features Diane Kruger from Inglourious Basterds as Jess, alongside EastEnders favourite Jo Joyner as Liz. Shelley Conn, known for her role in Netflix’s Bridgerton, stars as Charlotte, while Emily Taaffe from War and Peace plays Mel.

The star-studded cast is sure to attract fans of Bridgerton, EastEnders and Big Little Lies. The intriguing synopsis will also draw viewers in.

Little Disasters is coming to Paramount Plus in the UK

According to the official description from Paramount Plus: “When Jess takes her baby to hospital with an unexplained head injury, her close friend and on-duty AandE doctor Liz must make the excruciating decision of whether to call social services, setting off an explosive chain of events for their friendship group.”

While no official release date has been announced for the US, Little Disasters is scheduled to premiere in the UK on May 22, reports Surrey Live.

The Paramount Plus series is expected to generate considerable buzz, with Diane Kruger promising it will leave fans “breathless”.

In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, she discussed the adaptation of the show from its original literary source, stating: “I think it’s loyal to the essence of Sarah’s book.

“It’s a loose adaptation, but [Sarah] was very present on set and in the process of making this.

Little Disasters has been compared to Big Little Lies

“People who don’t know the book will be taken on a journey that is really quite wild, a slow-burn, but as the episodes unfold, it accelerates in a way that leaves you breathless.”

JJ Feild, who portrays Ed in the series, hinted at inevitable comparisons with HBO’s hit series Big Little Lies, noting: “It’s similar ages, similar wealth… beautiful, successful people.

“But in the s***, you’re just a human being, and you have to answer for your actions. It’s a psychological, emotional mystery and how that unravels in the U.K.”

He further intrigued audiences with a glimpse into the storyline, saying: “As a parent, it’s your idea of hell. You take your child to the emergency room because they’re sick, and in the emergency room your best friend is the doctor.

“But because of due care, the doctor has to call social services, and social services remove your children. It’s a story about eight great friends who pull the thread and everything falls apart.”
