Emily VanCamp (The Resident, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) is gearing up for a new challenge. She’ll dive into the world of intolerance in her upcoming role.
The actress is set to star in Prejudice, a Canadian legal drama crafted by Celeste Parr (Hudson & Rex, This Life). This news comes straight from our sister site, Deadline.
In this new venture, VanCamp will embody Liesl Wellington. She’s a Toronto litigator on the rise, whose career and personal life spiral when her history as a sex worker emerges. Facing rejection from her circles, she establishes her own law firm. Her mission? To champion those silenced and marginalized.
The series is still shopping for a network home. Yet, it’s described as a stirring legal drama. It aims to tackle the forces that strive to keep the underdog “hidden, silent, unequal, and without agency,” according to Keren Shahar, CEO of Keshet International, one of the show’s distributors.
