‘The Hack’: David Tennant Phone-Hacking Drama Unveils First Look a Week After Prince Harry’s Historic Settlement


A first look at 'The Hack' comes just a week after Prince Harry's historic settlement with Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers.

ITV has officially announced its drama about the U.K.’s phone-hacking scandal and investigation, a seven-part series now entitled “The Hack” and written by multi award-winner Jack Thorne. David Tennant — who himself accepted damages from NGN over a phone-hacking claim against the now-defunct “News of the World” — plays Nick Davies, the investigative journalist who uncovered evidence of hacking. Alongside Tennant, Carlyle and Jones, the cast also includes Rose Leslie, Dougray Scott, Eve Myles, Adrian Lester, Katherine Kelly, Kevin Doyle, Neil Maskell, Lara Pulver, Lee Ingleby, Pip Torrens, Lisa McGrillis, Sean Pertwee, Robert Bathurst, Richard Pepple, Nadia Albina, Phil Davis, Ace Bhatti, Charlie Brooks, and Steve Pemberton.
