The Replacement

The Replacement is an English mini-series which aired on BBC One. The series premiered on February 28, 2017.

When Ellen, a successful architect in her mid-thirties, becomes pregnant, she finds maternity cover in Paula: brilliant, enthusiastic and raring to go. Ellen wants to champion her, but something’s not right. Ellen begins to fear for her safety when she suspects her replacement has a disturbing agenda. Can her suspicions be explained away as female rivalry and her own insecurity of opting out of work at the top of her game… or do they speak to something deeper?
