Canadian drama series Family Law, starring Jewel Staite and Victor Garber, will be back for a fourth season on The CW. The network announced today that Season 4 will premiere Wednesday, July 23 at 8 pm.
As the 10-episode Season 4 kicks off, Abigail’s (Staite) home, work and romantic life are up in flames. Her boyfriend Ben (Benjamin Ayres) has fallen off the wagon, Sofia (Eden Summer Gilmore) has written a devastating essay about her mother’s alcoholism and Harry (Garber) has passed her over for equity partnership.
Abby decides to give Ben a second chance – though it only leads to more disappointment. Later, sparks fly when she meets someone new and unexpected, but is she ready to date again? Professionally, Abby’s concerns about a major development at the firm are ignored, forcing her to make a decision that sends shockwaves through the office – and her family. Meanwhile, Harry and Joanne (Lauren Holly) manage their breakup poorly, until they both have experiences that make them reevaluate what truly matters. At work, Harry’s plan for a lucrative merger with a rival law office looks like a sure thing until it forces him to make an impossible choice.
Daniel (Zach Smadu) mourns the end of his “relationship” with Martina (Miranda Edwards) by having a one-night stand with the offbeat Jude (Mapuana Makia), and his life is turned upside down when Jude shares life changing news with him. Lucy (Genelle Williams) ends her relationship with the manipulative Kelly (Aliyah O’Brien), but the break-up leaves her wracked with self-doubt – until she’s upfront about her insecurities on a podcast, which leads to exciting opportunities and possible romance.
