What is Showtrial about?
The legal drama focuses on character Talitha Campbell – the arrogant daughter of a wealthy entrepreneur.
She is arrested following the disappearance of fellow student, Hannah Ellis, the hard-working daughter of a single mother.
From Talitha’s arrest to the jury’s final verdict, Showtrial switches between both sides of the legal battle.
As defence and prosecution fight for their version of what really happened to Hannah – the truth about Talitha transpires.
Is the wealthy youngster falsely accused or she is a callous murderer?
When is Showtrial on TV?
The first episode of Showtrial will air on BBC One at 9pm on October 31, 2021.
The remaining four episodes will air each week on Sunday from then on.
