ITV releases trailer for thriller series Playing Nice

December 2, 2024 by Amie Cranswick

ITV has shared a trailer and images for the psychological thriller series Playing Nice.

Based on JP Delaney’s novel of the same name, the series centres on two couples Pete (James Norton) & Maddie (Niamh Algar) and Miles (James McArdle) & Lucy (Jessica Brown Findlay) as they discover their children were accidentally switched at birth in hospital, facing them all with a horrifying dilemma. Watch the trailer below…

Playing Nice is adapted by Malpractice writer Grace Ofori-Attah 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 premieres this January.
