Currently, production has officially commenced for Season 2 of <em>Presumed Innocent</em> on Apple TV. The platform shared the exciting news on social media, revealing a teaser that features three stars from the upcoming season as they prepare to embody their characters and deliver another thrilling narrative to viewers. In an office setting, Matthew Rhys (The Beast in Me), Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve), and Rachel Brosnahan (Superman) are seen in their courtroom attire, with a clapperboard marking the first day of filming.
The first season of Presumed Innocent, featuring Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role, was based on Scott Turow’s 1987 novel of the same name, which was previously adapted into a feature film starring Harrison Ford in 1990. This new season draws from Jo Murray’s Dissection of a Murder, a novel that has yet to be published, leaving viewers in suspense regarding the unfolding crime and character dynamics.
Brosnahan will portray the primary protagonist, Leila Reynolds, an attorney tackling her first murder case. The case is high-profile and closely intertwined with Leila’s personal life as she investigates the murder of a respected judge. Initially overwhelmed, she considers stepping back from the case, but the defendant insists she is the right person for the job. As Leila delves deeper into the investigation, she discovers that the case is far more intricate than it seems, pulling her into a whirlwind of uncertainty, manipulation, and deceit as she pursues the truth.
