Fox has given a pilot green light to a drama from Empire co-creator Danny Strong and feature writer David Elliot (Four Brothers).
The untitled project (fka Infamy), a legal drama set in an wrongful conviction firm, had a script plus penalty commitment from the network. It hails from 20th Century Fox TV and studio-based Danny Strong Productions.
Penned by Elliot, the drama revolves around a legal team led by a fierce and fearless female lawyer with a hunger for justice. They reopen investigations, putting their own lives in danger to exonerate the innocent that were “proven” guilty. Our lead’s motivation comes from her infamous past; as a young adult she was found guilty and later exonerated in a high-profile case in which she became a tabloid sensation, household name and national celebrity. While a hero and a victim to some, her bold and bullish tactics garner her some enemies— one of whom will do anything to see her go down for a crime we know she did not commit. We will watch her defend others as she fights to maintain her own innocence.
