The Trial is set in Britain in 2035, depicting a time where parents are held legally accountable for their children’s crimes. It stars Outnumbered’s Claire Skinner and Andor’s Ben Miles as a couple who are thrust into a hellish court case when their teenage daughter commits a serious offence. And given that parents are now regarded as being directly responsible for their children’s behaviour, if they lose, they will both face life behind bars.
Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson plays their relentless interrogator Sarah Willis, who rakes through every aspect of their life and parenting in order to prove their culpability.
