The Baby Plot and Cast
The Baby follows 38-year-old Natasha, who feels furious that her closest friends are suddenly all having babies. But then one day, one literally lands in her arms. However, despite its cuteness, this child is definitely not one she wants to nurture as it turns out to be controlling, manipulative, and, worst still, deadly.
As Natasha learns the full extent of Baby’s powers, she makes increasingly desperate attempts to get rid of them. But while she may not want a baby, the baby most definitely wants her. The baby’s mother Natasha is played by comedian Michelle.
The cast of the series includes some popular names like Michelle de Swarte, Amira Ghazalla and Amber Grappy in the lead roles. However, further details related to the cast members are expected to be announced in the next few months.
