Apple TV's Hit Crime Drama 'Presumed Innocent' Is Back For Season 2 — With A Catch

Presumed Innocent is an Apple TV+ series depicting the story of a Chicago prosecutor when he becomes the prime suspect in the brutal murder of his colleague, with whom he had a previous affair. Starring the incredible and renowned actor Jake Gyllenhaal as Rusty Sabich, season one of the Apple TV+ eight-part limited series received critical acclaim. Gyllenhaal even received a nomination for Best Performance at the Golden Globe Awards!
Presumed Innocent season one was the most-viewed drama of all time on Apple TV+ when it came out, so it's no surprise that the show got picked up for season two, and this is everything you can expect.
Here's what you need to know about Presumed Innocent season 2, coming to Apple TV soon.
Will there be a season 2 for Presumed Innocent?
Apple TV+
Yes, we're getting a Presumed Innocent season 2! The show will be adapting an anthology format, with this season showing a different legal-based story than in season one. The book that season two will be based on, author Jo Murray’s Dissection of a Murder, is about defense lawyer Leila Reynolds, who takes on her first murder case, in which her husband is the prosecutor.
As the official synopsis of the book states, “A dead judge. A silent defendant. And a courtroom full of liars. When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she’s shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge.”
