Little Disasters focuses on a decade-long friendship among Jess (Kruger), Liz (Joyner), Charlotte (Conn), and Mel (Taaffe), four expectant mothers who were thrown together with little in common apart from their due dates but have been there for one another throughout motherhood,” reads Paramount+’s synopsis. “When perfect stay-at-home mother Jess takes her baby daughter to the hospital with a head injury that she can’t explain, her close friend and on-duty ER doctor Liz must make the excruciating decision of whether to call social services. With one phone call, Liz sets in motion a chain of events that ripples, fractures, and nearly destroys not only their families but their entire friendship group.”

Ruth Fowler and Amanda Duke adapted Vaughan’s novel, with Vaughan serving as an executive producer. Eva Sigurðardóttir directs and executive produces. Additional executive producers include Ash Atalla, Alex Smith, Marianna Abbotts, and Simon Judd.
