The BBC has landed some star power for its drama series about what happens when a celebrity legal battle spirals out of control.

Naomie Harris and Christina Hendricks are onboard Reputation. 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.

The pair are joined in Reputation by an ensemble cast including 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 Jnr (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).

The series from Becoming Elizabeth creator Anya Reiss and The Buccaneers producer The Forge brings to mind some headline-grabbing news stories of recent months including the very public Lively-Baldoni spat and Lily Allen’s album trashing ex-husband David Harbour.

Reputation (6×60) was commissioned by Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama. Alex Kazamia (Generation Z) will produce and BAFTA and RTS award winner Mahalia Belo (The End We Start From, The Long Song) will direct. Executive producers are George Ormond, Jade Taylor (Just Act Normal), Reiss and Belo. Alongside Reiss, other writers on the series are Shyam Popat and Karla Crome. Reputation will be distributed internationally by Banijay Rights.

Hulu is developing What Remains, a thriller drama based on Wendy Walker‘s 2023 novel, with Kerry Washington set to star and executive produce. Chris Luccy is writing and McG directing the adaptation, from 20th Television and Kapital Entertainment.

In What Remains, after taking the life of a disturbed man in the line of duty, Detective Elise Sutton (Washington) – a devoted wife, loving mother, and cold case specialist — reels from the guilt of her actions. To convince herself that she did the right thing, she makes contact with a mysterious man that she saved that day, only to discover that he’s not at all what he seems. She’s soon caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, following the clues he leaves for her and realizing that the only person who can stop him… is her.

Luccy executive produces alongside Washington and Pilar Savone via Simpson Street; Aaron Kaplan for Kapital Entertainment; and McG, Mary Viola & Corey Marsh for Wonderland Sound and Vision. Co-executive producing are Dylan Hammalian (Kapital Entertainment), Adam Haiken (Wonderland) and Will McDonald (Simpson Street). Walker is a producer. 20th TV, where Simpson Street has an overall deal, and Kapital are the studios.

This marks Washington’s latest project at Hulu where she starred in and executive produced limited series Little Fires Everywhere and comedy-drama UnPrisoned, both from 20th TV predecessor ABC Signature where her deal was originally based. Washington, who most recently starred in and executive produced the Apple TV limited series Imperfect Women, next plays a lead in Ben Affleck’s Netflix movie Animals and also headlines another upcoming Netflix movie, which is now filming, Jaume Collet-Serra’s An Innocent Girl. She is repped by CAA, Washington Square Arts and Gretchen Rush.

Luccy spent four seasons on Kapital’s ABC drama series A Million Little Things, rising to co-executive producer. Before that, he was a co-executive producer on Club De Cuervos, Netflix’s first Spanish-language original series. His credits also includes comedy series Undatable, Melissa & Joey and Better With You. Luccy, an alum of the Warner Brothers Television Writers Workshop, is repped by Echo Lake Entertainment an The Nord Group.

McG has directed two Kapital pilots that have gone to series, The Mysteries of Laura at NBC and Kevin From Work at then-ABC Family. He is directing and producing the upcoming Apple movie Way of the Warrior Kid starring Chris Pratt. He is repped by WME and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.

Walker is the author of psychological suspense novels such as All Is Not Forgotten, Emma In the Night and The Night Before and of the audio original novel The Room Next Door. Her work has been translated into more than 23 foreign languages. A former attorney and investment banker, Walker’s next thriller, Ten Years Gone, will be published in February 2027. She is repped by CAA and Writers House.
