Anatomy of a Scandal begins London shoot
Michelle Dockery, Sienna Miller and Rupert Friend head the cast of Anatomy of a Scandal which begins filming in London this week.
The 6 x 60 Netflix drama is adapted from Sarah Vaughan's political thriller about a high-profile marriage that begins to unravel when the husband – a well-known politician (Friend) - is accused of rape.
Sophie (played by Miller) is convinced of her husband’s innocence, while prosecutor Kate (Dockery) is sure of his guilt.
David E Kelley (Big Little Lies) and Melissa James Gibson (House of Cards) have collaborated on the anthology series that will be directed by SJ Clarkson. Kelly also joins the roster of exec producers that includes Liza Chasin and Bruna Papandrea.
