20th Television Developing “Opposing Council” For Hulu
20th Television is developing a brand new legal drama for Hulu/Disney+ called “Opposing Council”, which is based on Sheldon Siegel’s critically acclaimed book series, which includes 17 books, including “Special Circumstances”.
The show has been described as a character-driven legal prestigural set in modern-day San Francisco. The show centres on newly elected District Attorney Rosie Fernandez and her ex-priest-turned-defence-attorney husband Mike Daley as they navigate their marriage, living on opposite sides of the law. Mike, Rosie and their teams of richly drawn colleagues regularly face off in court as they each fight for what they believe is right in an unpredictable legal climate. In season one, the couple is forced to face off in court when their best friend is accused of a brutal double homicide. What begins as a high-profile murder trial becomes a collision course between marriage and justice, pushing them to their professional and personal limits.
According to Deadline, the show is being developed by Lauren Fields and Morgan Faust, who will write the show and also be executive producers along with Rideback’s Jonathan Gabay, Jonathan Elrich and Michael LoFaso.
Lauren Fields and Morgan Faust, have previously worked on some DC shows with Lauren working on “The Flash” and Morgan on “Legends Of Tomorrow”. Morgan also worked on the ABC series, “The Company You Keep”.
No other details on this new series have been revealed, such as when it will be released on Hulu/Disney+ or who will star in it.
