When perfect stay-at-home mother Jess takes her baby daughter to hospital with a head injury that she can’t explain, her close friend and on-duty ER doctor Liz must make the excruciating decision of whether to call social services. With one phone call, Liz sets in motion a chain of events that ripples, fractures and nearly destroys not only their families, but their entire friendship group.
Is Little Disasters based on other material?
Little Disasters is based on the book of the same name by Sarah Vaughn.
Netflix produced a series based on Vaughn's book, Anatomy of a Scandal, in 2022. It was developed and produced by David E. Kelley (Goliath, Ally McBeal) and Melinda Gibson (The Americans, House of Cards) and starred Sienna Miller (Layer Cake, Horizon: An American Saga) and Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey, Godless).

Will there be a Season 2 of Little Disasters?
As of right now, no information has been released regarding a second season. However, because it is a limited series, it was produced to be a standalone show. Additionally, there is no sequel to the novel it's based on. With that being said, that doesn't mean a second season is completely out of the realm of possibility.
The Little Disasters showrunners kept the series very close to the events that unfolded in the book. “I think it’s loyal to the essence of Sarah’s book,” Kruger told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s a loose adaptation, but [Sarah] was very present on set and in the process of making this. People who don’t know the book will be taken on a journey that is really quite wild, a slow-burn, but as the episodes unfold, it accelerates in a way that leaves you breathless.”
