Watch Sienna Miller and Michelle Dockery in the Trailer for Netfilx's 'Anatomy of a Scandal'

Netflix has released the trailer for its upcoming British courtroom thriller Anatomy of a Scandal, and if the two-plus minute clip is anything to go by, it looks as though the series is going to be a dramatic and tense ride.

The limited series stars Sienna Miller (The Loudest Voice) and Rupert Friend (Homeland) as James and Sophie Whithouse, a privileged, wealthy couple who seem to have it all. As a Minister in Parliament with a perfect family at home, James's career trajectory appears unstoppable—at least until a sex scandal from his past suddenly comes back to haunt him. Though Sophie is struggling to come to terms with her husband's apparent history of affairs, she refuses to believe it when he is accused of rape, a charge putting everything they've worked for at risk.

Downton Abbey favorite Michelle Dockery plays Kate Woodcroft, the steely criminal barrister who aims to make James pay for his crimes, even if it means tearing Westminster apart to do so—and she's as convinced of his guilt as Sophie is of his innocence.
