Legal Drama PREJUDICE Starring Emily VanCamp In Development

Prejudice, a project in development by Fox Entertainment and Bell Media is moving steadily closer to our screens.

Prejudice follows Liesl Wellington, a rising Toronto litigator whose career and marriage to a senator are thrown into upheaval when her past as a sex worker is publicly exposed. Scorned by her field and social circle, she launches her own law firm dedicated to defending the likewise silenced and delegitimized.

A second script for the project is currently underway with Bell Media, Fox Entertainment Global, and Neshama Entertainment. The show has yet to receive a season order.

This show marks the first potential series produced under Bell Media’s previously announced content licensing and distribution agreement with Fox Entertainment Global

Justin Stockman, Vice-President, Content Development & Programming, Bell Media had this to say:

“Prejudice tackles complex themes including identity, judgment, and resilience with unflinching honesty. Celeste Parr has crafted a gripping narrative that is sure to captivate audiences, and the immensely talented Emily VanCamp is the perfect actor to bring this powerful story to life.”

Celeste Parr who is both the Creator and Showrunner added:

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be partnering with Bell Media and Fox Entertainment Global to bring Prejudice to a global audience. It’s a privilege to work with such forward-thinking partners who understand the universal power of emotionally propulsive storytelling.”

A series order for Prejudice would mark the first show produced under Bell Media’s previously announced content licensing and distribution agreement with Fox Entertainment Global. This development deal is another example of Bell Media’s commitment to create premium original content produced in Canada that resonates with Canadian audiences and beyond.
