The serious plot of the drama revolves around Friend’s character – junior Government Minister James Whitehouse – being accused of raping a political aide with whom he had been having an affair, with Sienna playing his wife Sophie.
The role of the aide, called Olivia, is thought to be played by Charlie Angels actress Naomi Scott, according to Recapped, but her role has not been officially confirmed.
The cast of the six-part series, which Netflix describes as ‘an insightful and suspenseful series about sexual consent and privilege’, also includes Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery as the high-flying prosecutor.

Meanwhile, criminal barrister Kate (Michelle) is equally convinced that James is guilty and is determined to see he pays for his crimes.
It is being directed by SJ Clarkson, with David E. Kelley, the man behind the new Sky drama The Undoing starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, acting as writer, showrunner, and executive producer.
It’s thought the series could focus on a different political scandal each season in an anthology style, similar to BBC’s A Very English Scandal according to Deadline.
Sienna starred in drama film Wander Darkly last year while she also appeared as Roger Ailes’ wife Beth in the miniseries The Loudest Voice released in 2019.
Rupert was last seen in the CBS All Access series Strange Angel, which was axed in November 2019, and also starred in Showtime’s Homeland until 2018.
