Shonda Rhimes’ production company continues to dominate ABC with a new midseason legal drama called For the People.
Here’s how ABC describes it:
Set in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, aka “The Mother Court,” this new Shondaland drama follows brand-new lawyers working for both the defense and the prosecution handling the most high-profile and high-stakes federal cases in the country – all as their lives intersect in and out of the courtroom. The series is created by Shondaland’s Paul William Davies and is executive produced by Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers.
You can see some preview images and a “first look” teaser trailer below. A longer trailer should be available this afternoon.
