Sundance Channel‘s latest original non-fiction series is Loredana, Esq, a six-episode hourlong that traces the life of Loredana Nesci, a former Lapd officer-turned-lawyer as she navigates the criminal defense system and grapples with the question: What is legal and what is right? The series, from Go Go Luckey Prods, is in production and slated to premiere in March. After earning a reputation as a legal crusader, Nesci cultivated a thriving law practice where she defends those who sorely need it — not hardened criminals, just regular people, some of whom may have made bad choices and find themselves judged and condemned. This series dives into one defense attorney’s unconventional and potent passion for discovering the truth and doing what she thinks needs to be done. Go Go Luckey’s Julie Auerbach, Henry Capanna, Tina Gazzerro, Sandy Guthrie, Laura Keats and Robert Misseri executive produce; Nicole Defusco and Jon Grosskopf produce for Sundance.
