‘Presumed Innocent’ Renewed For Season 2 With a Surprising Twist

Ahead of its Season 1 finale, *Presumed Innocent* has been renewed for a second season on Apple TV+.

The first season, although it diverged significantly from its novel source material and the 1990 film adaptation, will conclude its story by the end of the current season. This means that Season 2 will center around an entirely new case.

The first season of *Presumed Innocent* showcased a stellar cast including Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, Elizabeth Marvel, Peter Sarsgaard, O-T Fagbenle, Renate Reinsve, Nana Mensah, Kingston Rumi Southwick, and Chase Infiniti.

Showrunner David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams, along with Gyllenhaal, Rachel Rusch Rich, Dustin Thomason, and Matt Tinker, will return to executive produce the upcoming season. The novel’s author, Scott Turow, will continue his role as co-executive producer.

Here’s an official description of Season 1:

*Starring Gyllenhaal in the lead role of chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich, the series takes viewers on a gripping journey through the horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office when one of its own is suspected of the crime. The series explores obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love, as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.*

The season finale airs on July 24.

The series is a collaborative project from Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and David E. Kelley Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Bad Robot holds an overall deal.
