ABC ABC's "The Fix" stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Sevvy Johnson, and Robin Tunney as Maya Travis.
ABC’s new legal drama The Fix premieres tonight at 10/9c. Marcia Clark, who was the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, is the co-writer and executive producer of the series, whose protagonist is a defeated district attorney with a second chance. While the main character and Clark share major similarities in their respective stories, promo for the show suggests it’s more of a “revenge fantasy” rather than a retelling of past true events.
The official synopsis for the series reads “Attorney and author Marcia Clark co-writes and executive produces a new legal drama about Maya Travis, a Los Angeles district attorney who suffers a devastating defeat when prosecuting an A-list actor for double murder. With her high-profile career derailed, she decides she needs a change and flees for a quieter life in Washington. Eight years later, when this same celebrity comes under suspicion for another murder, Maya Travis finds herself lured back to the DA’s office for another chance at justice.”
