Prima Facie was recorded live during its sold-out run in 2022 which saw Comer receive multiple awards for her performance, including an Olivier and a Tony when she reprised the role on Broadway.
It sees Comer play barrister Tessa who is at the top of her game when an unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.
Ahead of its re-release in cinemas in September, Comer revealed that she "couldn't believe" she was approached for the role.
"I fell in love with Suzie's work and it just felt like I can't say no to this. It was terrifying but thrilling at the same time," she explained.
