What is Little Disasters about?
The show adapts the Sarah Vaughn novel of the same name. The logline for the series tells us, “Little Disasters focuses on a decade-long friendship among Jess (Kruger), Liz (Joyner), Charlotte (Conn) and Mel (Taaffe), four expectant mothers who were thrown together with little in common apart from their due dates but have been there for one another throughout motherhood. When perfect stay-at-home mother Jess takes her baby daughter to the hospital with a head injury that she can’t explain, her close friend and on-duty ER doctor Liz must make the excruciating decision of whether to call social services. With one phone call, Liz sets in motion a chain of events that ripples, fractures, and nearly destroys not only their families but their entire friendship group.”

Paramount+ revealed the teaser trailer for the series (embedded above) on October 27, showing the moment when Jess confronts her friend in the ER about calling social services on her family before also confronting her husband about his whereabouts at a key moment. “People do terrible things in a moment of frustration,” Liz warns in the teaser.
