Starring Siobhán Cullen (Bodkin) and Paapa Essiedu (Black Mirror), Babies is a gripping, tender and urgent love story that explores the resilience of a couple navigating the heartbreak of pregnancy loss.
The series follows Lisa (Cullen) and Stephen (Essiedu), a couple in their 30s whose hope is tested as they endure multiple miscarriages.
While confronting unimaginable grief, their bond shines through with humour, warmth and unwavering love.
The series also stars Charlotte Riley and Jack Bannon as Amanda and Dave, a new couple navigating their own challenges and testing their compatibility.
Their complex relationship, set against Lisa and Stephen’s ongoing pregnancy journey, begins to expose cracks in Stephen and Dave’s long-standing friendship.
Golaszewski says: “Paapa, Siobhán, Jack and Charlotte are all incredible actors.
Their warmth, detail and deep humanity are essential to telling this crucial story that’s never told.”
Lindsay Salt, director of BBC Drama, says: “Babies has everything we love about Golaszewski’s work – a tender, authentic, emotional and human look at couples navigating a time in their lives that is rarely covered on television.
It’s no surprise that this very special series has attracted such an outstanding cast, and it’s been an honour to see them bring Stefan’s scripts to life.”
