The infamous libel trial between former couple Johnny Depp (“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”) and Amber Heard (“Aquaman”) is turning into a TV show. Entitled “Hot Take: The Depp / Heard Trial”, the production was developed for the American platform Tubi, the Fox streaming network.
The show will see Mark Hapka (“Dangerous Passion”) as Depp, Megan Davis (“Famous”) as Heard, Melissa Marty (“Station 19”) as Camille Vasquez (Depp’s lawyer) and Mary Carrig (“Worst”). Birthday Ever “) as Elaine Bredehoft (Heard’s attorney).
Written by Guy Nicolucci (“Late Night with Conan O’Brien”), “Hot Take: The Depp / Heard Trial” will describe the couple’s tumultuous relationship in and out of court and will be directed by Sara Lohman (“Off the Grid”) .
The trial ended on June 1, with the jury ruling that Heard had actually defamed Depp in a Washington Post editorial in 2018, while the actor was convicted of defaming her via his former lawyer. Of what the two were sentenced to pay, Heard owed Depp about $ 10 million, but he challenged the decision.
“‘Hot Take: The Depp / Heard Trial’ has ‘Hot Take’ in the title for a reason,” said Adam Lewinson, director of content at Tubi. “With our production partners MarVista, this original production was accelerated to capture a timely glimpse into a story that has become part of the cultural zeitgeist, painting a unique picture of what millions of people watched in the headlines during the summer”.
Production has really accelerated, because “Hot Take: The Depp / Heard Trial” has already premiered on September 30th on Tubi.
