The Hack (2025 TV Series)

The Hack (2025) dramatizes the News International phone-hacking scandal and the intertwined investigation into the unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan. Set between 2002 and 2012, the seven-part UK series follows Guardian journalist Nick Davies (played by David Tennant) as he uncovers illegal voicemail interception at the News of the World, while former Met Police detective Dave Cook (Robert Carlyle) pursues the parallel Morgan case. The show also features Alan Rusbridger (Toby Jones) and explores corruption, media misconduct, and failures in policing during the scandal’s exposure.
