BABIES: FIRST LOOK AT NEW BBC DRAMA FROM STEFAN GOLASZEWSKI, STARRING PAAPA ESSIEDU

First look pictures for Stefan Golaszewski’s new six-part BBC drama Babies have been released.

Starring Siobhán Cullen (Bodkin, Obituary) and Paapa Essiedu (Black Mirror, The Capture), Babies is a gripping, tender and urgent love story that explores the resilience of a couple navigating the heartbreak of pregnancy loss.

The series follows Lisa (Cullen) and Stephen (Essiedu), a couple in their 30s whose hope is tested as they endure multiple miscarriages. While confronting unimaginable grief, their bond shines through with humour, warmth, and unwavering love.

The series also stars Charlotte Riley (The Peripheral, Press) and Jack Bannon (Pennyworth, Pulse) as Amanda and Dave - a new couple navigating their own challenges and testing their compatibility. Their complex relationship, set against Lisa and Stephen’s ongoing pregnancy journey, begins to expose cracks in Stephen and Dave’s long-standing friendship.

Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, says: "Babies has everything we love about Stefan Golaszewski's work - a tender, authentic, emotional and human look at couples navigating a time in their lives that is rarely covered on television. It's no surprise that this very special series has attracted such an outstanding cast, and it's been an honour to see them bring Stefan's scripts to life."

Babies is a 6x60' drama from Snowed-In Productions and The Money Men Studios, in association with All3Media International for BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
