Anatomy of a Scandal cast: who’s in the new Netflix series?

What would you do if your husband who’s a member of Parliament and the best friend of the Prime Minister, shattered your perfect world in a matter of moments. All it takes is the reveal of one secret. A hidden aspect of his life that grows larger with each new detail that surfaces.

That’s the position Sophie Whitehouse is put in by her husband James in Anatomy of a Scandal when their family is thrown into a political firestorm that grips the press and the nation. For lawyers like Kate Woodcroft, a case like the one she’s set to lodge against James can skyrocket a career. However, it also comes with a level of scrutiny no one can imagine until they’re standing in the line of fire.

But, the inciting incident that brings these three into the courtroom isn’t the only thing hiding in the shadows. After all, politics and kingmaking is a dirty game. Between backdoor deals and friends choosing to look the other way, there are more skeletons hidden in the closets of power than anyone can truly stomach.

James Whitehouse is the man on trial but this show is an exploration of how power can be abused and the people and societal structures that enable such abuse. There’s more than one way to spark scandal and no one is immune from incurring public outrage.
