“All Rise” is ready to rise again.
After the two seasons it had on CBS,
the legal drama resumes in a new television
home for its third round. New episodes
begin Tuesday, June 7, on Oprah Winfrey’s
OWN network (which has been repeating
the show’s earlier chapters in recent weeks).
Much of the original cast returns as more
cases unfold in and around the Los Angeles
courtroom of Judge Lola Carmichael
(played by Simone Missick), with attorneys
on both sides often having to consider
unorthodox measures in securing the best
legal outcomes possible.
“All of it’s the same,” executive producer
Dee Harris-Lawrence says of reviving “All
Rise,” at least for the most part. “That was
the great thing about OWN picking us up,
and they show the passion and love that
we all here feel for the show. It’s exciting to
do the same thing we were doing at CBS,
with a little more. Our theme this season
is ‘new beginnings,’ and we’re going to be
going with that full-force.”
Also an executive producer of “All Rise”
now, actress Missick agrees that Season 3
consciously builds upon what came before
for the characters.
“We get to find out a little bit more of
who they are underneath,” she explains,
“which is very exciting because that kind of
diversity on screen was initially nurtured,
and now it’s only flourishing even more as
we step out in this third season. I think we
all feel the same way about our excitement
about this new network and what we are
able to do as storytellers, and I think that
the audience that we built at CBS is going
to come to OWN and love seeing these
characters in new shoes.”
Another of those characters is Emily
Lopez (Jessica Camacho), a public
defender whose devotion to her job led
her to have a breakdown. She was last seen
leaving L.A., her job and her prosecutor
turned defense attorney ex-beau Luke
Watkins (J. Alex Brinson, who’s also back)
as “All Rise” ended its CBS run.
“I think that much like a lot of us,
Emily took the opportunity to kind of
reassess her life,” Camacho reflects, “look
at it and ask herself where she was vs.
where she wanted to be, who she wanted
to be, and what she needed to do in order
to get there. And we find her kind of
refreshed. We find her reignited, renewed,
with just a sense of purpose that is on fire
and a new clarity. She’s super-inspired to
bring her passion and her insight and her
experience to the criminal justice system
in a way that she really believes can change
the system for the better.”
