Having wowed audiences with the jarring, stunning, terrifying Chernobyl, HBO and Sky are once again working with Sister Pictures on a new series titled The Baby.

Pegged as a dark comic horror, newcomer Sian Robins-Grace is on writing duties for The Baby, with Deadline reporting that the current plan is to shoot the show in the UK next year.

The early word on The Baby reads:

The Baby is a raw examination of motherhood as an institution: a set of unspoken rules that affect women differently depending on how they’re viewed by society.

When 38-year-old Natasha is unexpectedly landed with a baby, her life of doing what she wants, when she wants, dramatically implodes. Controlling, manipulative and with violent powers, the baby twists Natasha’s life into a horror show. Where does it come from? What does it want? And what lengths will Natasha have to go to in order to get her life back? She doesn’t want a baby. The baby wants her.

Lucy Gaymer is developing The Baby with Robins-Grace, with the series set to consist of eight episodes.
