Summer Slack TV Finales - Guilty Party

I found Guilty Party late on Paramount+, however completed it in the summer time when a lot of US dramas are  currently on hiatus.

I'm talking Station 19, All American (along with its new spin off series), Superman & Lois, Batwoman and more.

Starring Kate Beckinsale, Geoff Stults, Jules Latimer, Tiya Sircar, Alanna Ubach, Laurie Davidson and Andre Hyland, the ten episode run commenced on October 14, 2021.

A journalist Beth Burgess (Kate Beckinsale) with a tarnished reputation focuses on a story about a woman who denies murdering her husband.


Originally Isla Fisher was cast to star in the series, however by December, Fisher would exit the series due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Kate Beckinsale was then cast to replace her.

Filming begun in March 2021 in Calgary, a nice change for series usually filmed in the next province British Columbia. With Batwoman, The Flash, other Arrowverse series along with others all filmed in Vancouver.

With some nice twists and turns, Guilty Party concluded mid December, so I can post it under the Summer Slack TV Finales series.

Will it get renewed? Do we need to see some of these awkward characters return for a second season? Paramount+ has a number of original series, this is not the best half an hour series, I loved Aussie series Spreadsheet far more. However Kate Beckinsale as Beth is an interesting leading lady. 

It's not perfect. Nothing is these days. However Guilty Party gets better and better with the episodes leading to a big ending. Whether it gets a second season or not Paramount+ are making some interesting series.
