Playing Nice | Preview (ITV1)

A psychological thriller adapted by Malpractice writer Grace Ofori-Attah from the best-selling novel by British thriller author JP Delaney, with Kate Hewitt (One Day) directing all episodes.

BAFTA-nominated James Norton (Happy Valley), BAFTA-nominated Niamh Algar (Mary and George), Olivier-nominated James McArdle (Sexy Beas) and BIFA-nominated Jessica Brown Findlay (The Flatshare) all take leading roles in the limited series.

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 that they will stop at nothing to keep their family together.

Playing Nice begins Sunday 5th and Monday 6th January at 9pm on ITV1.
