Get Your First Look at Upcoming Newspaper Drama ‘Press’

The first teaser trailer for upcoming newspaper drama Press is here!

The six-part series features an all-star cast lead by Poirot star David Suchet, and which includes Charlotte Riley, Ben Chaplin, Priyanga Burford, Shane Zaza, Ellie Kendrick and more.

Though the drama will feature competing newsrooms, Press will reportedly not seek to dramatize or explore current hot-button issues of the day, such as the ongoing debate around the idea of “fake news”. Instead, the series will seek to tackle broader topics facing the news industry, particularly regarding the ethical minefields that reporters and editors must navigate each day. Who do we trust to give us information? Why? What are your sources?

The series synopsis, however, still promises high stakes and high drama:

"Set in the fast-paced and challenging environment of the British newspaper industry, Press will immerse viewers in the personal lives and the constant professional dilemmas facing its characters. The series follows their lives as they attempt to balance work and play, ambition and integrity, amid the never-ending pressure of the 24-hour global news cycle and an industry in turmoil."
