The BBC has announced that it has begun production on Reputation, a brand-new legal drama from writer Anya Reiss, which stars James Bond favourite Naomie Harris.
Harris, who played Moneypenny opposite Daniel Craig's Bond, will play Lena, a formidable lawyer who gets pulled into the celebrity case of a global pop star, Davina Knight, played by The Buccaneers actor Christina Hendricks.
The six-part series, which is produced by The Forge, will also feature Rivals star Emily Atack in a key role, as well as Andor's Kyle Soller, The Crown's Alex Jennings and The Diplomat's David Gyasi.
The synopsis for the series says: "Reputation is an audacious and glossy new drama that shows what happens when a celebrity legal battle spirals out of control.
"After Davina releases a provocative new song accusing her ex-husband, Billy (Soller), of abusive behaviour and he retaliates in kind, their private breakdown erupts into a very public libel battle."
The synopsis continues: "The case is fought far beyond the courtroom, as PR machines are deployed, laws are bent and social media platforms become judge, jury and battleground – driving outrage for clicks and warping the truth.
"For Lena, the case puts her own personal life in the line of fire. How far will she go to win and at what cost? And for Davina, how far will she go to protect her reputation?"
Also in the cast for the series are Marli Siu (Twenty Twenty Six), Alex Heath (Prime Target), Tilly Keeper (You), Corey Johnson (The Day of the Jackal), Aidan McArdle (Showtrial), Ernest Kingsley Jnr (The Sandman), Jodie Campbell (Boarders), Kayla Meikle (Transaction), Mike Noble (This City Is Ours), Enzo Cilenti (Black Mirror) and Kat Ronney (Dinosaur).
Harris said in a statement: "I was hooked from page one of Reputation. It's so rare to read scripts with the wit and flair of Anya's writing and I knew straight away that I wanted to play Lena."
Meanwhile, Hendricks added: "Davina's a fantastic, fierce character. I'm so looking forward to working with Naomie and I'm delighted to be working again with The Forge."
Reputation will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
