Stan’s new seven-part limited series, The Hack, explores the 2011 phone hacking scandal that toppled the News of the World newspaper. Written by Jack Thorne and produced by the team behind Mr Bates vs The Post Office, it intertwines the investigative work of journalist Nick Davies (played by David Tennant) uncovering phone hacking with the police investigation into private investigator Daniel Morgan’s murder. The series is praised for its compelling storytelling, strong performances, and its ability to provoke outrage and spark important conversations about media ethics and justice.
