Reputation

An audacious and glossy new drama that shows what happens when a celebrity legal battle spirals out of control

The Forge Entertainment for BBC

6 x 60'

This six-part series centres on Lena, a formidable lawyer who has built her career defending free expression who gets pulled into the case of the decade representing global pop star Davina Knight.

After Davina releases a provocative new song accusing her ex-husband, Billy, 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?
