Little Disasters Season 1: Exactly How Many Episodes Are on Paramount+
Paramount+ has launched Little Disasters in the UK, a six-episode limited series based on Sarah Vaughan’s novel, with a US rollout set for December 11, 2025. The drama follows a tight-knit group of women whose lives fracture after a single shocking incident, exposing buried secrets and twisting loyalties.
File this under messy, moody, and very bingeable: Little Disasters, a UK limited series about motherhood and the secrets that crack friendships wide open, is already out in the UK and finally headed stateside. If you like domestic dramas that spiral into full-on anxiety thrillers, this one has your name on it.
What is Little Disasters?
Based on Sarah Vaughan's novel, the six-part series follows four women who bonded during pregnancy — Jess, Liz, Charlotte, and Mel — until their lives start to fracture after one of them rushes her baby to the ER with a mysterious injury. From there, the tight circle of friends gets stress-tested in all the worst ways, and the fallout doesn’t stop at the friend group; families get pulled into the mess too. It’s tense, intimate, and not shy about poking at the pressure cooker of new parenthood.
Release plan
Little Disasters premiered in the UK on Paramount+ on May 22, 2025 with all six episodes dropping at once. The US release is following the same playbook: the entire season lands on Paramount+ on December 11, 2025. No weekly rollout, no waiting — just a straight-up binge the moment it hits.

Quick note since I know someone will ask: this is a limited series. There’s no Season 2 info — that stray 'Season 2' wording you might have seen elsewhere is just a mislabeled section about where to watch Season 1.
