Michelle Dockery and Sienna Miller have been cast in Netflix’s new series, Anatomy Of A Scandal.

Deadline reports that the two actresses will star opposite Rupert Friend in the show, from David E. Kelley and Melissa James Gibson.

Production is set to start later this year in London with S.J. Clarkson directing the show, which is a six-part series about a scandal among the British privileged elite.

The book by Sarah Vaughan centered on a Westminster politician whose marriage unravels when he is accused of rape. Sophie is sure her husband is innocent, while prosecutor Kate is equally convinced he is guilty.

Sienna will play Sophie Whitehouse, the wife of the politician, and an Oxford graduate and a mother of two whose perfectly charmed life is about to implode. Rupert will play James, the accused.

Michelle is set to take on the role of prosecutor Kate Woodcroft, QC, a steely criminal barrister specializing in prosecuting sexual crimes who’s risen quickly in her field, and just got handed the case of a lifetime.

If you missed it, Netflix just made a huge purchase of a movie starring this Marvel villain.

At Eternity’s Gate is a “journey inside the world and mind of a person who, despite skepticism, ridicule and illness, created some of the world’s most beloved and stunning works of art. This is not a forensic biography, but rather scenes based on Vincent van Gogh’s letters, common agreement about events in his life that present as facts, hearsay, and moments that are just plain invented.”

The movie will be hitting theaters on November 16.

Zachary Quinto and Rupert Friend chatted with James Corden on Monday night’s (March 26) episode of The Late Late Show!

The late show host quested Zachary, 40, about recently using an alias to order coffee at a Starbucks in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and getting called out on Twitter for it.

“Zachary Quinto thinks he can come into MY Starbucks, use the fake name Josh for his order, and not get recognized?? Girl, check your eyebrows,” said the tweet calling Zach out.

“When I’m by myself I get a little nervous and self-contentious,” Zachary admitted. “Maybe people don’t know me and I can go undercover. Clearly that’s not always the case.”
