Ben Whishaw will be seen leading the cast, in the role of Adam Kay. He’s joined by the newcomer, Ambika Mod as Shruti. A young junior doctor who has just started in obstetrics and gynecology, her colleague in the ward.

The rest of the cast includes Michele Austin as Tracy, a confident and sharp-witted senior midwife. Alex Jennings is Mr. Lockhart, a consultant, who is the domineering boss of Adam.

In the memoir he discusses “97-hour weeks, life-and-death decisions, a constant tsunami of bodily fluids”, which will soon be adapted on screen.
