In one hilarious scene, we see Natasha having a tense stand-off with the baby, who stares calmly back at her on the sofa.

“I know I’m not your mum, and you know I’m not your mum,” she says firmly.

In another scene, a frazzled mother at a nursery group jokes to Natasha that she had a vision of swinging her baby’s head against the wall.

Things take a sinister turn, though, when we see a playground filled with mothers who have been killed in a variety of gruesome ways, including one who has been impaled upon the railings. Meanwhile, the babies, who have presumably orchestrated their mothers’ downfall, sit meekly in the middle of the carnage.

The clip ends with an older woman proposing a toast. “To mothers and the children that make them,” she says, alongside a scene of a group of parents screaming hysterically in the woods. We can’t wait to see how it’ll all unfold.

The Baby airs on Sky Atlantic tonight at 9pm, with episodes also available to stream on Now.
