Channel 4 has commissioned Maya, a gripping new six-part drama written and created by BAFTA and International Emmy-nominated Daisy Haggard. The original series follows the story of mother and daughter as they are forced into witness protection to escape a dangerous threat and will be produced by the award-winning Two Brothers Pictures (The Tourist, Fleabag, Boat Story).

Leaving their lives in London behind, Anna played by Daisy Haggard (Back to Life, Breeders), and her teenage daughter Maya played by Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us, GoT) must take on new identities and relocate to a small rural town.

As they try to adjust to their new reality, the trauma of their past continues to haunt them and the sinister presence of two hitmen leaves a trail of unease as they search for the missing mother and daughter. As the walls close in on them it becomes clear that the dangerous figure from their past is still a looming threat.

Shooting is taking place entirely in Scotland later this year, with further casting announced in due course.

“This story and these characters Daisy has created are so alive, nuanced, wickedly funny and scarily dark,” said Ramsey. “Every character jumps off the page, the dialogue is incredibly witty and I’m so excited to get to play Maya opposite Daisy’s Anna.”
