Netflix drops first trailer for new drama show — and it’s based on a shocking true story

Netflix is bringing a major environmental scandal that rocked the U.K. to the screen on February 27 with its upcoming drama, “Toxic Town.” Based on the real-life poisonings in the town of Corby, the show explores how a British community’s mishandling of toxic waste led to tragic consequences for local families.

“Toxic Town” follows a group of mothers (played by Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood, and Claudia Jessie) as they take on their local council after their children are born with birth defects. It’s a testament to the strength of a community standing against institutional failure and greed.

Now that the trailer is here, viewers can get their first look at “Toxic Town” and what it has to offer as a compelling Netflix drama. Watch it below:
