NEW YORK - January 30, 2025 - Today, Acorn TV unveiled all-new assets for drama series Best Interests, from BAFTA-winning writer Jack Thorne (Help, His Dark Materials, The Virtues).

Her parents disagree and so begins a fight that will take them through every stage of a legal process, as they struggle to contemplate this huge decision. It's a story of a family driven apart by having to make choices no parent would ever want to make.
