'The Cry': 5 things to look out for in the upcoming BBC 1 show on Sundance Now

Abduction, murder, and betrayal are the key themes, with postpartum depression playing the central character in the show.

BBC 1's adaptation of Helen Fitzgerald's 2013 thriller-suspense, 'The Cry', has already become the broadcasting channel's second most watched show after the Richard Madden starring, 'Bodyguard', which shored up BBC's viewership ratings like never before. However, unlike its predecessor, 'The Cry' follows the story of a young mother, Joanna (played by Jenna Coleman of 'Victoria') who is struck down by postpartum depression immediately after which her husband, Alistair (played by Ewen Leslie), takes her to Australia where he is trying to regain his 10-year-old daughter's custody from the previous marriage.
