The cast of the six-part series, which Netflix describes as ‘an insightful and suspenseful series about sexual consent and privilege’, also includes Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery as the high-flying prosecutor. 

Sophie (Sienna) is convinced that he is innocent and will do whatever it takes to protect her family in the wake of the scandal.

Meanwhile, criminal barrister Kate (Michelle) is equally convinced that James is guilty and is determined to see he pays for his crimes.

It’s thought the series could focus on a different political scandal each season in an anthology style, similar to BBC’s A Very English Scandal according to Deadline.   

It is being directed by SJ Clarkson, with David E. Kelley, the man behind the Sky drama The Undoing starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, acting as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. 

The filming comes after Sienna starred in the drama film Wander Darkly this year, while she appeared as Roger Ailes’ wife Beth in the miniseries The Loudest Voice the year before.
