Michelle Dockery and Sienna Miller have been cast in Netflix’s new series, Anatomy Of A Scandal.
Deadline reports that the two actresses will star opposite Rupert Friend in the show, from David E. Kelley and Melissa James Gibson.
Production is set to start later this year in London with S.J. Clarkson directing the show, which is a six-part series about a scandal among the British privileged elite.
The book by Sarah Vaughan centered on a Westminster politician whose marriage unravels when he is accused of rape.
Sophie is sure her husband is innocent, while prosecutor Kate is equally convinced he is guilty.
Sienna will play Sophie Whitehouse, the wife of the politician, and an Oxford graduate and a mother of two whose perfectly charmed life is about to implode. Rupert will play James, the accused.
Michelle is set to take on the role of prosecutor Kate Woodcroft, QC, a steely criminal barrister specializing in prosecuting sexual crimes who’s risen quickly in her field, and just got handed the case of a lifetime.
