We’re excited to highlight the first look at Cynthia Erivo in this highly awaited screen adaptation of the award-winning play, falling under the creative umbrella of Bunya Productions. According to the recent announcement, Erivo takes on the role of Tessa Ensler, a brilliant young barrister whose career and worldview are radically disrupted.
The film is an adaptation of the original stage work by Suzie Miller, with Miller herself scripting the screen version, and Erivo anchoring the cast alongside established names including Noma Dumezweni, Toheeb Jimoh and Simon Russell Beale.
At Bunya Productions we champion projects that combine strong performance, distinct Australian development roots and international reach. The choice of Erivo—an actor of global stature—and this sharp, uncompromising story of power, gender and law makes Prima Facie a significant moment for the screen sector.
