ITV has released the official trailer for the new psychological thriller, ‘Playing Nice,’ starring James Norton and Niamh Algar.

Adapted from the best-selling novel by British thriller author JP Delaney the series is 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 they will stop at nothing to keep their family together.

Directed by Kate Hewitt (One Day) and adapted for screen by Grace Ofori-Attah, Nick Pitt (Black Mirror, His Dark Materials) is the series producer.
