Press is a sharp, fast-paced series from acclaimed writer Mike Bartlett (Doctor Foster) that rips aside the front pages of rival newspapers to reveal the lives, loves, and lies of a dynamic group of journalists. Under relentless pressure from the 24-hour news cycle, these passionate professionals go to extraordinary lengths to uncover stories and get them into print. They hold the powerful to account and turn ordinary people’s lives into headlines, but can they face up to the truth about themselves? With timely storylines and an outstanding cast featuring Charlotte Riley, Ben Chaplin, Priyanga Burford, and David Suchet among others, Press gets to the core of an industry that has never been more in the global spotlight.
