The Hack streams on Lionsgate Play:
Alright, folks, if you’ve ever been fascinated by real-life scandals, gritty investigative journalism, or just really good drama, here’s one to mark on your calendars. The Hack is landing on Lionsgate Play from November 7th, and honestly, it looks like it’s going to be a wild ride.
Based on the infamous phone-hacking scandal that shook Britain, this series takes a deep dive into the story that shuttered a major newspaper — and the journalists and investigators who refused to let the truth stay buried. Think of it as part thriller, part courtroom drama, part real-world detective story. It’s tense, clever, and full of those “how did they even get away with this?” moments.
The cast is nothing short of stellar. David Tennant plays journalist Nick Davies, bringing that trademark intensity and charm we all love, while Robert Carlyle steps in as DCS Dave Cook, the investigator trying to untangle the web of lies. With writing from the award-winning creator of Adolescence, you can expect sharp dialogue, compelling storytelling, and characters that feel real and messy — exactly the kind of drama that keeps you glued to the screen.
What’s especially exciting is that this isn’t just another dramatized retelling — it’s about the people behind the headlines, the ethical gray areas, and the impact of chasing the story no one else wants to touch. Whether you’re a true-crime fan, a journalism geek, or just in for a gripping binge, The Hack promises to deliver.
So, grab your popcorn and mark November 7th on your calendar. This scandal is coming back to life, and it’s better than ever.
