The Hack
The truth doesn't die quietly.
Created by Jack Thorne
On ITV1
A tense, investigative drama built on institutional corruption and journalistic pursuit of truth across a decade-long real-world scandal.
Set between 2002 and 2012, the drama deftly interweaves two real life stories, the uncovering of phone hacking at the News of the World, and running parallel, the investigation into the unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan.
