Family Law Season 4 to Premiere on The CW in July
The CW Network has announced that the original scripted drama series Family Law, starring Jewel Staite (Firefly, The L.A. Complex) and Victor Garber (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Alias), will return for a 10-episode fourth season on Wednesday, July 23 (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET/PT).
As season four kicks off, Abigail’s (Staite) home, work, and romantic life are up in flames. Her boyfriend Ben (Benjamin Ayres) has fallen off the wagon, Sofia (Eden Summer Gilmore) has written a devastating essay about her mother’s alcoholism, and Harry (Garber) has passed her over for equity partnership.
Abby decides to give Ben a second chance, though it only leads to more disappointment. Later, sparks fly when she meets someone new and unexpected, but is she ready to date again?
Professionally, Abby’s concerns about a major development at the firm are ignored, forcing her to make a decision that sends shockwaves through the office – and her family. Meanwhile, Harry and Joanne (Lauren Holly) manage their breakup poorly, until they both have experiences that make them reevaluate what truly matters.
At work, Harry’s plan for a lucrative merger with a rival law office looks like a sure thing until it forces him to make an impossible choice.
Daniel (Zach Smadu) mourns the end of his “relationship” with Martina (Miranda Edwards) by having a one-night stand with the offbeat Jude (Mapuana Makia), and his life is turned upside down when Jude shares life-changing news with him.
Lucy (Genelle Williams) ends her relationship with the manipulative Kelly (Aliyah O’Brien), but the break-up leaves her wracked with self-doubt – until she’s upfront about her insecurities on a podcast, which leads to exciting opportunities and possible romance.
With cases ranging from rental families, surrogacy gone awry, parental liability, and AI companion dolls, the dysfunctional Svenssons continue helping other dysfunctional families find their way, all while navigating their own turbulent personal lives.
SEVEN24 Films and Lark Productions produce Family Law for Corus Entertainment’s Global (Canada). The series was created by Susin Nielsen, who also serves as executive producer and showrunner.
The series is executive produced by Jordy Randall, Tom Cox, Erin Haskett, and Andy Mikita. Lionsgate distributes the series internationally.
