Naomie Harris & Christina Hendricks to Lead BBC Drama Series REPUTATION

Naomie Harris ("28 Days Later", "Skyfall") and Christina Hendricks ("Mad Men", "Good Girls") are set to star in the new BBC drama series "Reputation". The series hails from Anya Reiss ("Becoming Elizabeth") and "The Buccaneers" producer The Forge. BAFTA and RTS award winner Mahalia Belo ("The End We Start From", "The Long Song") will direct, while Reiss co-writes alongside Shyam Popat and Karla Crome. "Reputation" will be distributed internationally by Banijay Rights.

The show follows Lena (Harris), a formidable lawyer who gets pulled into the celebrity case of the decade representing global pop star Davina Knight (Hendricks). Knight has released a provocative new song accusing her ex-husband, Billy, of abusive behaviour and he retaliates in kind, with their private breakdown erupting into a very public libel battle. PR machines are deployed, laws are bent and social media platforms become judge, jury and battleground.

The ensemble cast includes Alex Jennings ("The Crown", "The Lady In The Van"), David Gyasi ("The Diplomat", "Interstellar"), Emily Atack ("Rivals", "Inbetweeners"), Kyle Soller ("Andor", "Bodies"), Marli Siu ("Twenty Twenty Six", "Everything I Know About Love"), Alex Heath ("Serpent Queen", "Prime Target"), Tilly Keeper ("You", "Queenie"), Corey Johnson ("Digger", "The Day of the Jackal"), Aidan McArdle ("Sherlock & Daughter", "Showtrial"), Ernest Kingsley Jr/ ("Washington Black", "The Sandman"), Jodie Campbell ("Boarders", "Bitch Boxer"), Kayla Meikle ("Transaction", "Time 2"), Mike Noble ("This City is Ours", "Dirty Business), Enzo Cilenti ("Black Mirror", "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell") and Kat Ronney ("Dinosaur", "Finding Emily").

"Reputation" was commissioned by Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama. Producers include Alex Kazamia ("Generation Z"), George Ormond, Jade Taylor ("Just Act Normal"), Reiss and Belo.
