‘Playing Nice' is coming to ITV and ITVX in January 2025 and ITV has released the trailer for the series.
The psychological thriller stars James Norton (‘Happy Valley', ‘A Little Life'), BAFTA nominated Niamh Algar (‘Mary and George', ‘The Virtues'), Olivier nominated James McArdle (‘Sexy Beast', ‘The Mare of Easttown') and BIFA nominated Jessica Brown Findlay (‘The Flatshare', ‘Downton Abbey').
‘Playing Nice' is produced by STUDIOCANAL and Rabbit Track Pictures, and is adapted by writer Grace Ofori-Attah (‘Malpractice') from the best-selling novel by British thriller author JP Delaney.
Set against a sweeping Cornish landscape, two couples discover that their toddlers were switched at birth in a hospital mix-up, and face a horrifying dilemma: do they keep the sons they have raised and loved, or reclaim their biological child?
Living a waking nightmare, Pete (James Norton) and Maddie (Niamh Algar) are jettisoned into the world of the other couple; Miles (James McArdle) and Lucy (Jessica Brown Findlay). At first it seems all four are agreed on a solution, but it soon becomes clear that hidden motives are at play. How far can each couple trust the real parents of their child – or even each other? As Pete and Maddie are stretched to breaking point, they realise they will stop at nothing to keep their family together.
‘Playing Nice' launches on Sunday 5th January 2025 at 9pm on ITV and ITVX. Episodes will air every Sunday and Monday at 9pm on ITV and drop as a boxset on ITVX from 5th January.
