Kate Beckinsale will replace Isla Fisher in the dark comedy series “Guilty Party” at Paramount+, TheWrap has confirmed.
Beckinsale will star in the Funny or Die series as Beth Baker, “a discredited journalist desperate to salvage her career,” according to the series description. “She latches on to the story of a young mother sentenced to life in prison for maiming and murdering her husband, crimes she claims she didn’t commit. In trying to uncover the truth, Beth finds herself in over her head as she contends with Colorado gun-smugglers, clickbait culture, the doldrums of marriage and her own tarnished past.”
