The official trailer for CBS\u2019 Cupertino<\/em> just gave fans their first look at the legal drama featuring Busy Philipps<\/strong><\/a>, who appears in a surprising role following her health challenges.<\/a><\/p>\n

CBS\u2019 Wednesday, September 9, sneak peek featured \u201ca scrappy lawyer takes on a powerful tech giant in a high-stakes legal battle, navigating the cutthroat world of Silicon Valley while fighting for justice and the little guy\u2019s rights,\u201d according to the official synopsis.<\/p>\n

Mike Colter <\/strong>and Rachel Keller<\/strong> lead the cast as their characters rebound after they were cut loose from their tech-related jobs, creating their own firm to help those going up against Silicon Valley\u2019s powerful conglomerates.<\/p>\n

Philipps, 47, appears in several scenes as Natalie. In a previously released character description, Natalie is described as \u201cthe beautiful and delightfully blunt first wife of an AI Billionaire, who divorced her when she turned forty. Now Natalia wants revenge and agrees to finance Michael and Olivia\u2019s start-up law firm in order to go after his and other AI businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are the disrupters now,\u201d Natalie says in one scene. Elsewhere in the trailer, Natalie is seen nonchalantly pulling out a gun from her purse.<\/p>\n

Cupertino<\/em>, which premieres October 8, also stars<\/a> Ella Stiller, Nik Dodani <\/strong>and Ren\u00e9e Elise Goldsberry<\/strong>. Guest stars include Stephen Kunken, Fisher Stevens<\/strong> and Stephen Pasquale<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After filming season 1, Philipps revealed she underwent surgery in early March<\/a> \u2014 weeks before she started production on Cupertino.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful that I\u2019m alive,\u201d Philipps told People last month while calling this period \u201cthe weirdest six months of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Philipps credited a Prenuvo full-body scan for helping confirm the presence of a grade 2 oligodendroglioma, a rare slow-growing tumor. Philipps underwent surgery, where doctors removed a 2.6-centimeter mass from her brain.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is considered malignant, but it has the best prognosis of all of the malignant gliomas,\u201d Philipps\u2019 neuro-oncologist, Dr. Alexandra Miller, told People. \u201cIt\u2019s sort of defined as a cancerous tumor based on the ability of the tumor to regrow over time, rather than it looking very malignant under the microscope.\u201d<\/p>\n
