ABOUT THE SHOW

Personal injury lawyer Abigail Bianchi’s life is a mess—her husband kicked her out, her daughter won’t speak to her, and she was nearly disbarred after an alcohol-related incident in court. But she’s trying to get her life back on track, even if that means working with her estranged father at his family law firm, while forging new relationships with her half-siblings. The end result is a dysfunctional family law firm operating to help other families with their own problems.

FAMILY LAW has been greenlit for an fourth season of all-new 10-episode season. This  witty, heartfelt show looks at the trials and tribulations of an imperfect family. The one-hour legal drama follows Abigail ‘Abby’ Bianchi (Jewel Staite) as she navigates her new life with her family including Abby’s father Harry Svensson (Victor Garber), her half- brother Daniel Svensson (Zach Smadu), and half-sister Lucy Svensson (Genelle Williams).  Season 4 finds Abigail Bianchi tackling intriguing new cases as she juggles work, family, and her love life. Abigail’s father Harry, and her half-siblings Daniel and Lucy face their own unique challenges, balancing their ever-complicated professional and personal lives.
