The mini series recreates the English High Court defamation case between the two figures Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney from 2022, with the focus on the opposing legal teams. The case arose after Rooney accused Vardy of leaking posts from her private Instagram account to The Sun newspaper resulting in Vardy suing Rooney for libel.[2][3]
In July 2022 it was announced that Channel 4 would produce a 2-part drama based on the events of the high-profile trial. Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama, directed by Oonagh Kearney, which would recreate courtroom scenes using verbatim court transcripts against analysis from the media.[4]
