Anyone who has kids will know that parenting can be hell, but most of us don't have to deal with an actual demon baby! That seems to be the premise of an upcoming British horror comedy limited series from creators Siân Robins-Grace and Lucy Gaymer coming to HBO.
The Baby, which is described as a “surrealist study on motherhood” and “the year’s most terrifying comedy,” stars Michelle De Swarte (The Duchess) as 38-year-old Natasha, who is" furious that her closest friends are all having babies. But when she is unexpectedly landed with a baby of her own, her life dramatically implodes. Controlling, manipulative, but incredibly cute, the baby twists Natasha’s life into a surreal horror show. As she discovers the true extent of the baby’s deadly nature, Natasha makes increasingly desperate attempts to get rid of it."
We're not actually sure what's going on with the titular tiny terror (is he a demon? An alien? A metahuman?), but if the trailer is any indication, he is capable of unleashing some pretty extreme devastation when he throws a temper tantrum.
Check out the teaser below along with a poster, and let us know what you think.
The Baby is set to debut on Sunday, April 24.
