Emily Atack has been spotted on set filming the upcoming BBC drama Reputation, a high-stakes celebrity defamation battle. The Rivals star was seen in gym gear outside a nail salon, clutching a large bag and car keys, as she hugged a co-star and walked with actors Kyle Soller and Marli Siu.
The series follows Lena, a brilliant lawyer played by Naomie Harris, who takes on a case representing global pop star Davina Knight, portrayed by Christina Hendricks. Davina accuses her ex-husband Billy of abusive behaviour in a new song, sparking a public libel battle that spirals out of control, involving social media and PR machines.
As the case unfolds, Lena finds her personal life thrust into the spotlight. The cast also includes Alex Jennings, David Gyasi, Kyle Soller, Marli Siu, Alex Heath, Tilly Keeper, Corey Johnson, Aidan McArdle, Ernest Kingsley Jnr, Jodie Campbell, Kayla Meikle, Mike Noble, Enzo Cilenti, and Kat Ronney.
Writer Anya Reiss said she was drawn to London as the global capital of high-stakes libel cases. Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, described the show as high-stakes, intoxicating, and hugely entertaining. Filming is currently underway for the series, which will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
