Production is now under way on Burden of Truth, a new 10-part legal drama from ICF Films, Eagle Vision and Entertainment One (eOne) for Canadian broadcaster CBC.

Filming in and around Winnipeg for a winter 2018 premiere on CBC, the show stars Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Beauty and the Beast) as a big city lawyer who returns to her hometown and takes on a case involving a group of sick girls.

“I could not be more enthusiastic about starting production,” said Kreuk, who is also an exec producer on the project. “Developing these layered characters with Ilana and the teams at ICF Films, Eagle Vision and eOne has been an amazing experience and I’m looking forward to sharing these powerful stories with the world.”

Additional cast members include Peter Mooney, Alex Carter, Ben Ayres, Nicola Correia-Damude, Meegwun Fairbrother and Star Slade. eOne controls worldwide rights to the series.
