Reputation is a major new six-part series from Anya Reiss, that centres on Lena (Academy Award nominee Naomie Harris), a formidable lawyer who gets pulled into the celebrity case of the decade representing global pop star Davina Knight (Christina Hendricks).
Also joining the cast are Alex Jennings, David Gyasi, Emily Atack, Kyle Soller, Marli Siu, Alex Heath, Tilly Keeper, Corey Johnson, Aidan McArdle, Ernest Kingsley Jnr, Jodie Campbell, Kayla Meikle, Mike Noble, Enzo Cilenti and Kat Ronney.
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 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?
