The Debate


From the multi-award-winning team behind GROUNDED ★★★★★ and THAT BOY ★★★★★ comes a bold, darkly funny new drama starring award-winning actor Martha Lott.


A mother sits waiting, filled with ambition and pride. Her daughter, exceptional, smart and the state’s top debater, is on the verge of national selection, a rivalry ignites that pushes motherly love to the edge. She understands the power of words; it's her job. 


A campaign for success, personal ambition and political spin collide. A gripping exploration of control, morality, and the seductive power of persuasion — a mirror to our world of curated truths and competitive parenting. 


Darkly comic, sharply intelligent, and heartbreakingly human, THE DEBATE asks: when every story can be spun, what chance does the truth really have?
