Who is in Family Law TV Show?

After personal injury lawyer Abigail Bianchi’s marriage disintegrates and an embarrassing viral video featuring her drunken behavior surfaces online, her only option for returning to practice law will be with guidance from one of her senior partners – like Harry Svensson (Victor Garber), owner of Vancouver’s premier family law firm alongside Daniel and Lucy who Abby has never met but share as half siblings.

Jewel Staite

The CW has welcomed Family Law to its lineup of scripted series. Starring Jewel Staite as Abigail Bianchi, a Canadian attorney whose life is unraveling; created by Susin Nielsen (also responsible for Degrassi); released for viewing in 2021; renewed for season two already! Co-produced with Entertainment One (eOne).

The show tells the tale of Abigail, an alcoholic lawyer and her estranged family members. In episode one, Abigail awakens late for work and feels embarrassed; quickly thereafter an accidental public confession happens by accident, followed by Abigail trying to settle a case with one of her clients and eventually taking their daughter with her into court for trial.

Staite has also appeared on other shows and movies beyond Family Law, such as Posing: Inspired by Three Real Stories on TV and Stargate Atlantis. She’s been seen in Space Cases Flash Forward Da Vinci’s Inquest as well. Furthermore, she provided voice over work for DIC Entertainments Mummies Alive! and Sabrina The Animated Series series.

Her role on Family Law mirrors her other legal drama roles: she plays an arrogant lawyer with an alcohol problem who finds herself drawn into a family court case that mirrors some of her personal issues. While working hard at staying sober and rebuilding her life, staying sober remains challenging.

Staite often lends her time and efforts to good causes when not working on Family Law; she supports the Vancouver AIDS Memorial and regularly raises money for it; additionally she has an active Instagram account in which she regularly updates followers about her life.

Family Law is an exceptional legal drama featuring an incredible cast. Recently added to CW’s roster of scripted series, Family Law promises to be an audience hit – not too distant from other popular legal dramas such as Boston Legal or even Suits.

Victor Garber

Family Law TV show is an American drama with some familiar names in its cast, featuring Jewel Staite as Abigail Bianchi – an attorney recovering from divorce and managing both her clients’ and her own familial dysfunctions. Based on a true case, Family Law is funny but not only written for laughs – and has recently been renewed by The CW with 10 episodes for season three!

Abigail awakens in her car late for court feeling devastated by her separation from husband Frank (guest star Luke Camilleri) and misses her children terribly. Due to excessive alcohol consumption recently, Abigail becomes so drunk she throws up on a client, drawing too much attention, leading her to her job being cancelled altogether and finding work with an alternative firm managed by Harry Svensson (Victor Garber). Here she must work under probationary terms alongside his two half-siblings Daniel and Lucy (Zach Smadu and Genelle Williams respectively).

Harry’s firm is clearly dysfunctional. He imposes stringent conditions and rules upon Abby or she will face disbarment, while dragging his heels in cases is causing delays that force the staff to work under impossible deadlines and ultimately risk their jobs.

This show explores family, alcoholism, and finding oneself again after public humiliation. A drama with some comedy elements that will keep viewers on their toes! With an outstanding cast and creative writing that keeps audiences hooked from start to finish – we highly recommend giving this show a watch and we hope they get another season!

Family Law TV show is an enjoyable way to escape reality and get lost in characters’ stories, with captivating plotlines and outstanding acting from its cast of actors. Unfortunately, however, this show doesn’t get the recognition it deserves; fans of reality TV or legal drama should definitely give this show a watch on CW STREAM’s free trial period and stream it there as soon as they’re available.

Zach Smadu

Zach Smadu is an accomplished Canadian actor known for being one of the industry’s premier storytellers. He can be found starring in TV shows such as Cardinal, The Expanse and Kim’s Convenience; Family Law stars him too as one of several dysfunctional family members working together at their father’s law firm in downtown Vancouver.

The CW recently expanded their roster of scripted acquisitions by purchasing Family Law from Canada. Starring Jewel Staite and Victor Garber as characters struggling with alcoholism, Family Law explores themes related to family, alcoholism, and recovering after making mistakes in life.

Shortly afterwards she secured a lead role on Radio Free Roscoe which earned her widespread praise from viewers.

Jewel Staite, Victor Garber and Zach Smadu will star. Susin Nielsen created, wrote and executive produced it all – she will also serve as its showrunner and creator/writer/producer.

The CW is no stranger to Canadian dramas, having acquired several series like Lucifer and The Originals that have already proven wildly popular with viewers.

Abigail will find herself the only candidate willing to hire her at Harry Svensson (Victor Garber). Harry left Abby and her complicated mother for Joanne Kowalski when Abby was seven, then had two more children with other women; his son Daniel (Zach Smadu of The Expanse and Genelle Williams from Warehouse 13 respectively) works at Svensson’s top law firm alongside Abigail.
