The trailer and poster for the film version of Suzie Miller’s one woman acclaimed stage play, Prima Facie, have been unveiled ahead of the movie’s cinematic release across the UK and Ireland from 13 November 2026.
Olivier, Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award-winner, Cynthia Erivo (Dracula, Wicked), leads the film adaptation of the award-winning play as a young, ambitious trial lawyer who navigates the ruthless London court system, unmatched in her defence of the accused, including men charged with sexual assault. Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) played the part for its West End run and UK tour, and went on to win Olivier and Tony Awards for her performance.
