The Hack (2025)

The series revolves around the demise of the world’s oldest Sunday newspaper, Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World. The scandal came to light with revelations that a private investigator, hired by the paper, had hacked the voicemail of Milly Dowler, a murdered 13-year-old schoolgirl. The subsequent investigation resulted in the arrest of over 100 individuals, the imprisonment of Downing Street’s director of communications, the resignation of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, an unprecedented public inquiry into the ethical practices of the British press, and ultimately, the closure of one of the world’s oldest and most widely read newspapers.
