Parent company USG was instrumental in acquiring the rights, as it was when UIS bought the adaptation rights to Lucy Foley's upcoming book The Midnight Feast, as we previously reported.
The series is set in the United Kingdom and is produced by UIS, with Monumental Television, owned by ITV Studios, as executive producer. Alison Owen, Debra Hayward and Katie Kelly are the executive producers for Monumental, working with UIS' Global Scripted Series team.
The psychological thriller Moral Injuries was released in the UK on March 14. The book's logline describes it as a "glossy thriller that follows three best friends since medical school and the twenty-five-year-old secret that now threatens to shatter their lives.
“Olivia, Laura and Anjali promised they’d always protect one another and never speak about that one night where they made a deadly decision, which still haunts them. But when their teenage children face a similar situation, the women’s bond is put to the absolute test. Just how much can a friendship really survive? Set in the tumultuous world of the NHS, Moral Injuries is an ongoing medical drama series that tests the bounds of morality and a longstanding friendship.”
