Believing the corrosive actions of a man pushed her friend over the edge, Jacs throws herself out as bait, beginning an investigation that becomes an obsessive, impulsive pursuit.

Writer and creator Lucy Coleman said: ‘Exposure was born from wanting to elevate a lived experience, an aching paradox, into a thrilling, propulsive, energetic and entertaining genre show – the mystery thriller. A show that could shine a light on this murky, confusing person I became for a large chapter of my life, that I know will be familiar to so many.
‘My ethos as a filmmaker since day one has been to create raw and challenging stories that allow women to feel seen and I’m incredibly grateful for Nicole, Shaun, Justin and Stan’s support in bringing this project to life.’
Exposure will premiere on Stan in 2024 – date TBC.
