Lucy Gaymer

Debut screenwriter Siân Robins-Grace (Sex Education) and Lucy Gaymer co-wrote the eight-part series, a darkly funny exploration of motherhood from the perspective of a woman who doesn’t want to be one.

Actor and comedian Michelle De Swarte stars as the 38-year-old Natasha, whose closest friends are all having children. Natasha is furious, but when she is unexpectedly given a baby of her own, her life implodes. As she discovers the true extent of the baby's evil nature, she is forced to resort to increasingly desperate measures to rid herself of it.

Co-created by debut screenwriter Siân Robins-Grace (Sex Education) and Lucy Gaymer (Production Manager for Gangs of London), The Baby is a darkly funny delve into the depths of motherhood.

When a baby is thrust upon unsuspecting 38-year-old Natasha, she is forced to give up her comfortable life of freedom and indulgence to be at their beck and call.

Far from your average case of parental compromise, the baby possesses such manipulative and violent powers that Natasha’s life spirals out of control.
