HBO has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original horror comedy series The Baby starring Michelle De Swarte.
The 8-episode season will launch on Sunday, April 24 at 10:30/9:30c.
38-year-old Natasha (De Swarte) is furious that her closest friends are all having babies. But when she is unexpectedly landed with a baby of her own, her life dramatically implodes. Controlling, manipulative but incredibly cute, the baby twists Natasha's life into a surreal horror show. As she discovers the true extent of the baby's deadly nature, Natasha makes increasingly desperate attempts to get rid of it. She doesn't want a baby. But the baby definitely wants her.
In addition to De Swarte, the comedy stars Amira Ghazalla, Amber Grappy, Patrice Naiambana, Sinéad Cusack, Shvorne Marks, Isy Suttie, Tanya Reynolds, Seyan Sarvan, Karl Davies and Divian Ladwa.
Siân Robins-Grace and Lucy Gaymer created the comedy. They executive produce with Jane Featherstone, Carolyn Strauss, Naomi de Pear and director Nicole Kassell. Sister and Proverbial Pictures produce in association with HBO and Sky.
