Filming is currently underway for "Reputation," a new six-part legal drama slated for BBC One, featuring Naomie Harris and Christina Hendricks. The series centers on Lena, a sharp lawyer portrayed by Harris, who takes on the high-profile case of pop star Davina Knight, played by Hendricks. Davina's song detailing her ex-husband's alleged abuse leads to a public libel battle.
The escalating legal fight quickly transforms into a toxic spectacle. With PR strategies in full swing and social media amplifying public opinion, the truth becomes obscured. The intense pressure of the case begins to take a toll on Lena's personal life as well.
Naomie Harris, known for her roles in the James Bond franchise, expressed her enthusiasm for the script's wit and flair. Christina Hendricks described her character, Davina, as "fantastic and fierce" and looks forward to collaborating with Harris and the production team. The ensemble cast includes notable actors like Alex Jennings and David Gyasi.
