The BBC has landed some star power for its drama series about what happens when a celebrity legal battle spirals out of control.<\/p>\n
Naomie Harris and Christina Hendricks are onboard Reputation<\/em>. Harris is Lena, 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.<\/p>\n More from Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n The pair are joined in Reputation <\/em>by an ensemble cast including Alex Jennings\u00a0(The Crown, The Lady In The Van)<\/em>, David Gyasi\u00a0(The Diplomat, Interstellar),<\/em>\u00a0Emily Atack\u00a0(Rivals, Inbetweeners)<\/em>, Kyle Soller\u00a0(Andor, Bodies)<\/em>, Marli Siu\u00a0(Twenty Twenty Six, Everything I Know About Love),<\/em>\u00a0Alex Heath\u00a0(Serpent Queen, Prime Target)<\/em>, Tilly Keeper\u00a0(You, Queenie)<\/em>, Corey Johnson\u00a0(Digger, The Day of the Jackal)<\/em>, Aidan McArdle\u00a0(Sherlock & Daughter, Showtrial)<\/em>, Ernest Kingsley Jnr\u00a0(Washington Black, The Sandman),<\/em>\u00a0Jodie Campbell (Boarders, Bitch Boxer<\/em>), Kayla Meikle (Transaction, Time 2<\/em>), Mike Noble (This City is Ours, Dirty Business)<\/em>, Enzo Cilenti (Black Mirror, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell)\u00a0<\/em>and Kat Ronney (Dinosaur, Finding Emily).<\/em><\/p>\n The series from Becoming Elizabeth\u00a0<\/em>creator\u00a0Anya Reiss\u00a0and The Buccaneers <\/em>producer The Forge brings to mind some headline-grabbing news stories of recent months including the very public Lively-Baldoni spat and Lily Allen\u2019s album trashing ex-husband David Harbour.<\/p>\n Reputation<\/em>\u00a0(6\u00d760) was commissioned by Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama.
