EndedScripted showDrama

ITV has commissioned The Hack, a 7-part ITV Studios co-production with Stan, Australia about the phone hacking scandal written by BAFTA, Tony and Olivier award winning screenwriter, Jack Thorne, with David Tennant, Robert Carlyle and Toby Jones in leading roles and produced by the team from Mr Bates vs The Post Office. 

Set between 2002 and 2012, the drama deftly interweaves two real life stories, the work of investigative journalist Nick Davies, played by David Tennant, who uncovered evidence of phone hacking at the News of the World, and running parallel, the story of the investigation into the unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan, led by former Met Police Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Cook, played by Robert Carlyle.  Toby Jones plays former Editor-in Chief of The Guardian, Alan Rusbridger.

Before long, a pushback begins, as Alan's home is potentially compromised, Amelia is threatened with prosecution over her source, and Dave finds himself under investigation from his former employers. With the Leveson Inquiry more important than ever, Jacqui prepares to give evidence on the human cost of hacking, while Nick delivers a rallying call to arms for open, public-interest journalism.
