Bell Media announced today a development agreement for compelling new drama series PREJUDICE from creator and showrunner Celeste Parr (PLAN B), with celebrated Canadian actress Emily VanCamp (REVENGE, CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR) attached to star. Produced by Neshama Entertainment, with Pixcom and Keshet International also serving as Executive Producers, PREJUDICE follows rising litigator Liesl Wellington (VanCamp) as her life and career are thrown into upheaval when her past as a sex worker is publicly exposed. Bell Media, Fox Entertainment Global, and Neshama Entertainment are currently in co-development on a second script for the series. “PREJUDICE tackles complex themes including identity, judgment, and resilience with unflinching honesty,” said Justin Stockman, Vice-President, Content Development & Programming, 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,” said Celeste Parr, Creator and Showrunner. “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 to bring these compelling stories to life,” said Emily VanCamp, Executive Producer and Series Star. “Celeste has created an extraordinary show with beautifully flawed characters that I know will resonate with audiences around the world.” A series order for PREJUDICE would mark the first show produced under Bell Media’s previously announced content licensing and distribution agreement with Fox Entertainment Global. The PREJUDICE development deal is another example of Bell Media’s commitment to create premium original content produced in Canada that resonates with Canadian audiences and beyond. VanCamp is repped by Thruline Entertainment and UTA. Parr is also repped by Thruline Entertainment, Carl Liberman at The Characters Talent Agency, and Alex Bloch from 42.
