‘The Trial Of Louise Woodward’ HBO Series Cast Adds Sagar Radia

EXCLUSIVE: Sagar Radia, one of the stars of HBO‘s buzzy drama Industry, has landed a major role opposite The White Lotus alum Meghann Fahy in The Trial of Louise Woodward, the premium cabler’s new limited series based on a true story.

Created by Matthew Barry, another Industry alum, The Trial of Louise Woodward tells the shocking true story of how, in 1997, an 18-year-old British au pair was accused of shaking to death a baby left in her care by her American host family, setting off an international media firestorm as the trial unfolds in full view of both the British and American public.

Fahy and Radia will play Deborah and Sunil Eappen, the parents of eight-month-old victim Matthew Eappen.

Production on the five-episode Trial kicks off this month. Barry is showrunner and writer, and exec produces alongside Susanne Bier, who directs all episodes, as well as Big Light Productions founder Frank Spotnitz, Emily Feller, Tobi de Graaff, Antoine Douaihy, and Anton TV.

We were first to report on the series order in late July.

Best known for his role as volatile Pierpoint trader Rishi Ramdani in Industry, a series set in the cutthroat world of London finance, Radia was previously seen in the ITV medical drama The Good Karma Hospital. Upcoming, he’s set to appear in Netflix’s AI-themed thriller 2034 from director Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He is repped by Hamilton Hodell and Untitled Entertainment.
