Trailer Drop · Featurette · 10 November 2026
Cynthia Erivo, writer Suzie Miller and director Susanna White talk about the story behind Prima Facie in a new featurette from Sony Pictures UK, days before the courtroom drama opens only in UK and Irish cinemas on Friday 13 November.
From the Stage to the Big Screen
Erivo plays Tessa Ensler, a young, ambitious defence barrister who is unmatched in London’s courts, including when she defends men charged with sexual assault. Just as her career takes off, a life-altering event forces her to reckon with her belief in the justice system that has always been the core of who she is. Sony’s audience advice says the film contains themes and scenes of sexual assault.
Miller adapts her own play, which won Jodie Comer an Olivier Award and a Tony Award in its one-woman stage version. Daniel Ings, Toheeb Jimoh and Noma Dumezweni co-star, and Erivo is also an executive producer. Watch the full Prima Facie official UK trailer for more.
