Get ready for your new crime dramedy obsession! On August 31, Paramount+ revealed its first look at upcoming series Guilty Party, featuring Kate Beckinsale at the helm.

Beckinsale stars as Beth Burgess, a journalist looking to salvage her career by proving the innocence of Toni Plimpton (Jules Latimer), a young mother serving life in prison for the murder of her husband. Toni maintains that she did not commit the crime, and Beth will do all that she can to uncover the truth.

“In trying to uncover the truth, Beth finds herself in over her head as she contends with Colorado gun-smugglers, clickbait culture, the doldrums of marriage and her own tarnished past,” reads the show’s description.
