A new perfectly messy woman is coming to ABC, and people had better be ready.
E! News has an exclusive first look at Rebel, the new series from Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 executive producer Krista Vernoff, and it will give you a little taste of what to expect as Katey Sagal sets her sights on evil corporations.
The show was inspired by the life of Erin Brockovich, the legal clerk and activist whose lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric Company turned into a 2000 movie starring Julia Roberts. Brockovich serves as an executive producer on the series, and Sagal plays a version of her on screen named Annie “Rebel” Bello.
“I have waited a very long time for this moment,” Brockovich says in the video above.
Sagal explains that Rebel is on her third marriage and has three children from different husbands, and has sacrificed a lot to fight injustice—including some of her dignity.
