Babies trailer: Siobhán Cullen and Paapa Essiedu star in BBC drama

TRAILER: Siobhán Cullen and Paapa Essiedu star in Babies, the story of a resilient couple navigating the heartbreak of pregnancy loss coming to the BBC this month.

Lisa (Cullen) and Stephen (Essiedu) are a couple in their 30s whose dream of becoming parents is tested as they endure multiple miscarriages. While confronting unimaginable grief, their bond shines through with humour, warmth, and unwavering commitment. The newly released trailer offers a first glimpse of their intimate, raw and quietly powerful story.

Charlotte Riley and Jack Bannon also star as Amanda and Dave – a new couple navigating their own challenges and testing their compatibility. Their complex relationship, set against Lisa and Stephen’s ongoing pregnancy journey, begins to expose cracks in Stephen and Dave’s long-standing friendship.
