Exposing globally relevant truths about endemic abuse of power, this premium event drama from the team behind Mr Bates vs The Post Office and Litvinenko weaves together two seemingly unconnected true stories: the UK’s phone-hacking scandal and the most investigated – yet still unsolved – murder in British police history. The Hack steps inside the lives of investigative journalist Nick Davies and Detective Chief Superintendent David Cook, two individuals who risked everything to help uncover terrifying links between our press, police and government. Innovative storytelling reveals their journeys in parallel timelines and distinct styles. We witness how Nick exposed the truth of the phone-hacking scandal in a drama infused with a colourful, stylised aesthetic, alongside diving into a gripping police procedural with DCS Cook. When their stories converge, shocking truths are laid bare. Featuring a stellar creative team - including executive producer Patrick Spence (Litvinenko, Mr Bates vs The Post Office), writer Jack Thorne and director Lewis Arnold - and starring David Tennant, Robert Carlyle, Toby Jones and Rose Leslie, alongside a host of acclaimed acting talent, The Hack sheds new light on the lies that were uncovered, at a time when the truth is more in danger than ever.
