The Baby
A little terror.
Created by Lucy Gaymer, Sian Robins-Grace
On HBO
A darkly comedic horror-mystery about an unwanted supernatural baby that inverts domestic life into a nightmare, balancing absurdist humour with genuine dread.
When 38 year-old Natasha is unexpectedly landed with a baby, her life of doing what she wants, when she wants, dramatically implodes. Controlling, manipulative and with violent powers, the baby twists Natasha's life into a horror show. Where does it come from? What does it want? And what lengths will Natasha have to go to in order to get her life back?
