The series approaches the headline-making story from two angles, taking the perspectives of both investigative journalist Nick Davies (David Tennant) and DCS David Cook (Robert Carlyle).
Speaking to RadioTimes.com at the launch of the series, Williams (who also worked on Mr Bates vs The Post Office) acknowledged that the technology involved might seem antiquated now – but the core themes remain urgently current.
"Even though it's set only about 12 years ago, part of it is to do with the hacking of voicemails, which feels quite analogue now," he began.
"We're sharing more and more stuff than people would have shared in their voicemails back then."
"[This story] hasn't been given the opportunity to be investigated properly. Leveson was supposed to be in two parts… and Leveson 2 was supposed to be looking into criminality," he said at a post-screening Q&A for The Hack.
He concluded: "We need this painful itch properly scratched so that we can move on from it. Because it was extraordinary, and what it means about our institutions, about the country we live in… it really matters to look at it and look at it properly."
The Hack premieres on ITV1 and ITVX on Wednesday 24th September 2025.
