Overview

• The Hack spans events from 2002 to 2012 and interweaves Nick Davies’s exposé of News of the World’s phone-hacking with Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Cook’s inquiry into Daniel Morgan’s unsolved murder.
• David Tennant leads as Davies, with Robert Carlyle as Cook and Toby Jones as Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger supported by a star-studded ensemble including Rose Leslie, Dougray Scott and Eve Myles.
• The seven-part factual drama is scripted by Jack Thorne, directed by Lewis Arnold and produced by Patrick Spence in collaboration with ITV Studios and Australia’s Stan.
• ITV released first-look images and full cast details on August 4, confirming a late-2025 premiere on ITV1, ITVX and STV Player without an exact air date.
• The series revisits the scandal that shuttered News of the World and led to Andy Coulson’s imprisonment, following renewed interest after News Group Newspapers apologized and settled with Prince Harry.
