“Watchmen” and “The Leftovers” director Nicole Kassell has been tapped to helm the HBO-Sky co-production “The Baby,” created by Siân Robins-Grace and Lucy Gaymer. Kassell will serve as lead director and executive producer on the eight-episode first season of the darkly comic horror series from Sister and Proverbial Pictures.
The series is described as a “a funny, raw examination of motherhood as an institution: a set of unspoken and often horrifying rules that affect women differently depending on how they’re viewed by society.”
Several writers have been confirmed to join Robins-Grace in the all-women writers room, including Sophie Goodheart of “Sex Education” and “My Brother Blind,” Kara Smith of “Kaos” and “Apple Tree House,” Anchuli Felicia King of “White Pearl” and “Golden Shield,” and Susan Stanton, known for “Succession.” Bisha K. Ali will be a consultant on the series.
