Maya Casting Announcement

Created by Daisy Haggard, #Maya will come to Channel 4 in 2026.

Maya is a 6x60' is a gripping new drama written and created by BAFTA and International Emmy-nominated Daisy Haggard.  The original series follows the story of mother (Daisy Haggard) and daughter (Bella Ramsey) 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).

Maya is being billed as atmospheric, darkly comic, aping the warm and humorous style of Haggard’s previous shows, which include the Two Brothers-made Back to Life and FX comedy Breeders. Themes in the series include predatory male behavior, family and love, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her daughter.

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.”
