Jason Isaacs (David Reiss); Jack and Sarah Hawkins (VICE Studios) Jason Isaacs is set to lead a scripted series about the U.K.’s maternity deaths scandal.
Based on award-winning documentary “Maternity: Broken Trust,” the series from Cuba Pictures (part of Vice Studios), will be directed by Jim Loach (“Lockerbie”).
“What drew me to this project was its sheer scale: this goes far beyond one family or one hospital,” said Isaacs, who has starred in “Harry Potter” and “The White Lotus.” “It’s about what happens when institutions fail, and the extraordinary people who refuse to stop asking difficult questions and demand justice. With Cuba Pictures building on the remarkable work of the original documentary, I wanted to be part of telling the next chapter of this story.”
