    Showtrial is a British legal drama television series created by Ben Richards. The five-part first series aired on BBC One from October to November 2021 and starred Tracy Ifeachor and Céline Buckens. Two years later, it was announced that Showtrial had been developed into an anthology format and that a second series had been ordered, starring a new cast. That second series aired from October to November 2024 and starred Adeel Akhtar, Nathalie Armin, and Michael Socha.
    The first series received a mixed reception from critics. The writing, pace, and lack of subtlety received criticism from some reviewers; however, the format, dramatic scenes, and Buckens' acting were praised. Buckens was nominated for various accolades for her portrayal of Talitha Campbell, including the British Academy Television Award for Best Supporting Actress and the International Emmy Award for Best Actress.

From Talitha's arrest to the jury's final verdict, Showtrial switches between both sides of the legal battle, as defence and prosecution fight for their version of what really happened to Hannah, and the truth about Talitha: was she falsely accused or is she a callous murderer?

    Production


    BBC One commissioned Showtrial in 2019 as a five-part miniseries. The series was created and written by Ben Richards. Principal photography began in April 2021 in Bristol, including at the University of Bristol.
    Two years after the series had aired, it was announced that the BBC had decided to develop Showtrial into an anthology series. They ordered a second series, also to be written by Richards. Filming commenced in November 2023 in Belfast. The series is actually set in Brighton, but most of the scenes were filmed in Belfast and other places in Northern Ireland. Second unit filming took place in Brighton to make it look authentic. The decision was made after the producers had filmed several series in Northern Ireland, including Line of Duty, finding that parts of Northern Ireland look similar to the south coast of England. Courtroom scenes were shot in the old school gym of the former Corpus Christi College in West Belfast.

    For her role as Talitha, Céline Buckens was nominated for Best Actress at the TV Choice Awards, as well as being nominated for the British Academy Television Award for Best Supporting Actress and the International Emmy Award for Best Actress.
    Rebecca Fielding of The Guardian felt that Showtrial's first series had a lot going on that made it hard for the reviewer to keep up with the premise of the show. However, she was drawn in by the mystery of the case and wanted to watch to the end. Ed Cumming of The Independent praised its cinematography and filming style, describing it as "more energetic and stylish than we are used to from" the BBC. They also commended Tracy Ifeachor's portrayal of a solicitor, but thought that the dialogue was not gripping. Radio Times gave the series two stars out of a possible five as they felt that Showtrial was not subtle enough. Although they also criticised Richard's writing, Radio Times enjoyed the scenes between Buckens and Ifeachor, describing them as "campy fun".
    The Evening Standard described Showtrial as a "fresh, considered spin on the usual crime procedural tropes" and commended Buckens' acting abilities for making Talitha "compellingly awful". The Week also commended Buckens' acting and calling her performance "mesmerising" as Talitha.

    The Guardian's Rebecca Nicholson said that the second series was "full of holes, lacks nuance and feels flabby", but observed that "the performances are strong – often stronger than the script," concluding that it was "a compelling watch." In the Evening Standard, William Mata awarded it three stars out of five, describing it as "perfectly serviceable" and praising writer Ben Richards as "the show's biggest strength", although also drew attention to the programme's "overambition ... there are so many characters that some potentially quite interesting threads and crucial character development go unexplored." The Radio Times called it "not only a superior second season, but a gripping standalone tale in its own right", awarding it four stars out of five.
