ITVX is set to stream the Canadian legal drama 'Family Law', a series that has been described as 'one of the best' courtroom dramas in years and ideal for fans of BBC's 'The Split'. The show will be added to the platform's drama portfolio on June 21.
Starring Jewel Staite and Emmy-winner Victor Garber, the series follows Abigail Bianchi (Staite), a high-functioning recovering alcoholic whose legal career is in ruins after a public meltdown. Forced to work for her estranged father, Harry Svensson (Garber), she navigates the chaotic world of family law while building relationships with half-siblings she has never met.
The comedy drama, which also features Zach Smadu and Genelle Williams, originally aired in 2021 and ran for four series. It has garnered a loyal fanbase, with viewers praising its refreshing, witty, and heartfelt storytelling, as well as its relatable characters and modern tone.
One fan on Rotten Tomatoes called it 'refreshing, witty, and heartfelt', while another on IMDb described it as 'so addictive'. A viewer who watched from the start said it became one of their favourite series of 2021, citing its 'relentlessly pragmatic empathy' as both comforting and addictive.
'Family Law' will be available to stream on ITVX from June 21.
