ITV is gearing up to release a new drama called The Hack, and some exclusive images have just surfaced to hype it up even more. The show is about the phone hacking scandal that rocked Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World more than ten years ago, and it’s created by a talented team: writer Jack Thorne, director Lewis Arnold, and producer Patrick Spence. Deadline first shared news of the project earlier this year, and Australia’s Stan is also helping produce the series.

David Tennant takes the lead as investigative reporter Nick Davies, the journalist who exposed the phone hacking scandal.

In the new photos, Tennant can be seen in action alongside Robert Carlyle, who plays Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Cook from the Metropolitan Police. Cook’s character is important because he led the investigation into the still-unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan, a story that’s also part of the drama.

Excitement is growing for ITV’s upcoming drama series The Hack, and now we have exclusive new images that bring the story to life. The show, created by the award-winning team of Jack Thorne, director Lewis Arnold, and producer Patrick Spence, focuses on the real-life investigation into phone hacking at Rupert Murdoch’s now-closed News of the World.

Deadline first announced the project earlier this year, and Australian streaming service Stan is co-producing the series. David Tennant stars as investigative journalist Nick Davies, who uncovered the phone hacking scandal more than ten years ago.

The pictures shared by Deadline show Tennant fully immersed in his role, alongside Robert Carlyle, who plays Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Cook. Cook was in charge of looking into the unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan, a key part of the story told in The Hack.

Tennant will now be starring in the British TV series The Hack, which is based on a true story. The Hack tells the story of the investigation into a major phone hacking at News of the World, a discontinued British tabloid.

ITV has officially announced its drama about the U.K.’s phone-hacking scandal and investigation, a seven-part series now entitled “The Hack” and written by multi award-winner Jack Thorne.

The unveiling of the first look from “The Hack” — which shot last year — comes just a week after the hacking controversy concerning Rupert Murdoch’s U.K. tabloids reached a new peak, with his News Group Newspapers making a historic apology to Prince Harry and agreeing to pay substantial damages.

David Tennant — who himself accepted damages from Ngn over a phone-hacking claim against the now-defunct News of the World — plays Nick Davies, the investigative journalist who uncovered evidence of hacking. Toby Jones plays his former editor-in-chief at The Guardian newspaper, Alan Rusbridger, while — in a story running parallel to the hacking expose — Robert Carlyle plays former Met Police detective chief superintendent Dave Cook, who led an investigation into the unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan.

Exclusive: The timing couldn’t be better. Just a week after Rupert Murdoch’s shock apology and settlement with Prince Harry, ITV has unveiled a phone hacking drama series from Jack Thorne starring David Tennant as investigative journalist Nick Davies.

ITV and Australian streamer Stan have spent the past year quietly filming, editing and laying the groundwork for The Hack, which comes from the storied creative trio of multi-bafta Award winner Thorne, director Lewis Arnold (Sherwood) and producer Patrick Spence (Mr Bates vs the Post Office).

Set between 2002 and 2012, The Hack interweaves two real life stories, the work of Davies, who uncovered evidence of phone hacking at Murdoch’s now-defunct News of the World, and the story of the investigation into the unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan, led by former Met Police Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Cook. Its working titles through the past year have included Broken News and Mandrake.

The Crow Girl combines Nordic noir’s somber mood with raw elements of British crime drama. Based on Erik Axl Sund’s Scandinavian bestseller, the six-part series moves from Stockholm to Bristol’s dim, wet streets. Dci Jeanette Kilburn, played with fierce determination by Eve Myles, investigates several gruesome murders of young men—each death carries ritual elements and exposes social patterns of abuse and exploitation.

Moving the story goes beyond location changes into British social commentary, examining immigration conflicts, institutional wrongdoing, and community breakdown. The show keeps Nordic noir’s moral uncertainty and deep unease while creating its own style, mixing haunting atmosphere with stark reality.

Starting with a carefully composed violent scene, The Crow Girl holds viewers with persistent darkness. Those who enjoy layered stories will appreciate how the show handles interweaving plots about wrongdoing, psychological damage, and survival.

The series changes expected crime story elements by focusing on male victims,...

While his appearances in Bridgerton and Wicked have made him a household name, Russell T Davies hopes to bring Jonathan Bailey to Doctor Who in an all-new role.

The 21st century has been an era of sequels, reboots, and spinoffs. While these projects have saturated the market for many years, some are worth checking out. One of the reasons that a spinoff could find unexpected success without imitating the original movie or TV show is by incorporating darker and more intense storylines. Since a spinoff doesn't have the pressure and expectations that the original film or series might face, it can experiment with style and tone to exciting results. A good spinoff will root itself within the story's universe while working to stand alone as an individual project.

When many of the best legacy movie sequels differentiate themselves by going down a darker path, this could mean that more mature and adult themes will play a large part in the project. This makes sense, as when a TV show takes on a more serious tone, more emotional strife...
