Bell Media has signed a development agreement for Prejudice with creator and showrunner Celeste Parr (Plan B) and actor Emily VanCamp (Revenge, Captain America: Civil War).
The series, which marks the first show produced under Bell Media’s content licensing and distribution agreement with FOX Entertainment Global, follows a rising litigator whose life and career are thrown into disarray when her past as a sex worker is exposed.
Prejudice is being produced by Neshama Entertainment, with Pixcom and Keshet International serving as executive producers. Bell Media, FOX Entertainment Global and Neshama Entertainment are currently in co-development on a second script for the series.
VanCamp will star and executive produce.
“Prejudice tackles complex themes including identity, judgment and resilience with unflinching honesty,” said Justin Stockman, VP of content development and programming at Bell Media. “Celeste Parr has crafted a gripping narrative that is sure to captivate audiences, and the immensely talented Emily VanCamp is the perfect actor to bring this powerful story to life.”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be partnering with Bell Media and FOX Entertainment Global to bring Prejudice to a global audience,” Parr commented. “It’s a privilege to work with such forward-thinking partners who understand the universal power of emotionally propulsive storytelling.”
“I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this incredible team and bring these compelling stories to life,” VanCamp said. “Celeste has created an extraordinary show with beautifully flawed characters that I know will resonate with audiences around the world.”
