The Baby Trailer Hbo Dark Comedy Series Debuts April 24

HBO horror-comedy “The Baby” keeps it simple: Motherhood is a mess, especially if you add in murder. The HBO Original eight-episode limited series premieres Sunday, April 24, with episodes being available to stream on HBO Max. “The Baby” is created by Siân Robins-Grace and Lucy Gaymer and produced by SISTER and Proverbial Pictures. Check out the trailer below. Per an official synopsis, Natasha (De Swarte) grapples with her newfound, and wholly unexpected, parenthood, as the baby manipulates, controls, and yes, even kills those around her. As Natasha discovers the true extent of the baby’s deadly nature, she makes increasingly desperate attempts to get rid of it. She doesn’t want a baby. But the baby definitely wants her.

Amira Ghazalla also stars as Mrs. Eaves, a 70-year-old enigma who has spent the last 50 years living out of her car and seems to be everywhere the baby is. Amber Grappy plays Bobbi, Natasha’s younger sister, a children’s magician who desperately wants to be a mother; Patrice Naiambana and Sinéad Cusack portray Natasha’s parents.
