A full trailer has been released for Sarah Pinborough’s Insomnia, arriving on May 23 on Paramount+.

Vicky McClure (Line of Duty, Trigger Point, This Is England) leads the cast as successful career woman Emma Averill. Insomnia follows Emma, who fears she might be losing her mind when her hard-won dream life starts to turn into a nightmare. A couple of weeks before her fortieth birthday, Emma stops sleeping — just as her mother had done right before she suffered a violent psychotic breakdown on the night of her own fortieth birthday. Emma’s mother always told her she’d go the same way, that she had the same “bad blood” and now Emma’s terrified it’s true.

As events worsen, Emma’s world starts to unravel and she realises that only by investigating the truth of her painful past, can she find the answers to her present and prevent tragedy from striking a second time.

Tom Cullen (The Gold), is Emma’s loving husband Robert; Smylie Bradwell (Wisting) and India Fowler (The Nevers) are Will and Chloe, Emma and Tom’s children; Leanne Best (Bolan’s Shoes) is Emma’s estranged sister Phoebe; Corinna Marlowe (Hysteria) is Emma’s mother Patricia and Lyndsey Marshal (Inside Man) is Caroline, Emma’s friend and confidante.

Additional cast includes Dominic Tighe (Suspicion) and Jade Harrison (Wedding Season) who will play the Averill family’s close friends Julian and Michelle Simpson, whilst Robert Gilbert (Killing Eve) is Faisal and Michelle Bonnard (Unforgotten) is D.I Hildreth.

Börkur Sigthorsson (The Midwich Cuckoos, Baptiste) directed the series, and joins fellow Executive Producers Andy Harries, Jessica Burdett and Tim Bricknell. Charlotte Essex is Producer on the series. Sarah Pinborough is the writer, who has adapted her novel for screen, as well as serving as Executive Producer.
