Netflix has revealed a first look at the upcoming Anatomy Of A Scandal, based on the novel by Sarah Vaughan. The six-part, psychological thriller, has been confirmed to launch on the streamer from April 15, 2022.
Here’s a sneaky peek at the series via a first look still:
Set in London, Anatomy Of A Scandal is the long-awaited television adaptation of the international bestselling novel of the same name, by Sarah Vaughan. It stars Sienna Miller (American Sniper, The Loudest Voice) as Sophie, Michelle Dockery(The Gentlemen, Downton Abbey) as Kate, Rupert Friend (Homeland, The French Dispatch)as James and Naomi Scott (Aladdin, Charlie’s Angels) as Olivia.
A psychological thriller and gripping courtroom drama, the series infiltrates Britain’s elite through personal and political scandal, where the truth lies between justice and privilege. James and Sophie Whitehouse live in a blissful and rarified world. A Minister in Parliament, a loving family at home , James’ trajectory appears without limits. Until a scandalous secret suddenly comes to light. Barrister Kate Woodcroft has a trajectory of her own, and her prosecution threatens to tear into Westminster, the Whitehouse marriage, and her own personal esteem.
Co-creators David E. Kelley and Melissa James Gibson say: “Sex. Power. Privilege. Based on Sarah’s addictive book, the show tackles entitlement, truth and the boundaries of consent. It’s been a joy to partner with Netflix on this and see SJ bring it to such a rich and nuanced life.”
Sienna Miller adds: “I was a huge fan of the book and of my character Sophie. She is multi-faceted and facing the consequences of the decisions she has made in her life of privilege, that are catching up with her. I loved the arc and journey she embarks on and was thrilled to be part of such a talented cast and crew.”

Executive producers for the series are Liza Chasin (The Loudest Voice, Baby Driver) of 3Dot Productions, Bruna Papandrea (Gone Girl, Big Little Lies), and Allie Goss of Made Up Stories along with Sarah Vaughan, and Margaret Chernin as Co-Executive Producer.
