About the Show

A North London family grapples with business failure, public scandal, and private loss.

Ryan Craig’s The Holy Rosenbergs follows a Jewish family in Edgware struggling under multiple pressures. David is fighting to keep his catering business afloat, while his wife Lesley tries to hold both him and the household together. Their daughter Ruth faces intense public scrutiny over her work investigating war crimes in Gaza for the United Nations. When tragedy strikes, the family is forced to confront grief alongside political, personal, and moral dilemmas.
