Niamh Algar in PLAYING NICE

Based on J. P. Delaney’s psychological thriller, this new TV series unfolds against the stunning backdrop of the Cornish countryside and coast.

At its heart lies an unthinkable situation: two couples discover their toddlers were switched at birth in a hospital mix-up. The story poses a heart-wrenching question: should these parents keep the children they’ve raised and loved, or switch them back to their biological families? While they initially try to resolve the situation together, trust begins to erode. What starts as a mutual dilemma evolves into a tense situation when one couple suspects the other of harboring hidden motives, leading to desperate measures to protect their family.

Niamh Algar, who takes on the pivotal role of Maddie, has recently established herself as one of television’s most compelling performers. Her powerful turn in THE WONDER opposite Florence Pugh garnered critical acclaim, while her recent portrayal of Anne Villiers in MARY AND GEORGE showcases her versatility as an actress. She also earned BAFTA nominations for her work in CALM WITH HORSES and DECEIT, cementing her reputation as one of the industry’s most dynamic rising stars.
