Apple TV+’s “Presumed Innocent” will be back for a second season, but it will diverge from the first installment as the series goes from limited to anthology.
The legal drama series was renewed in July 2024 with its final two episodes still to launch on Apple TV+. Starting out as a limited series, the series will take on an anthology style like The White Lotus after becoming Apple’s most-watched show.
There is no word yet on a release date for Season 2 of the series, though casting announcements have been made recently.
Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Superman) will lead Season 2 of the legal series alongside Jack Reynor (Midsommar, The Perfect Couple, whose casting Deadline reported exclusively. Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Perry Mason) was also cast as a lead in early September, and Fiona Shaw (Bad Sisters, Killing Eve) was cast as a series regular Oct. 1.
As Deadline first reported, Season 2 will be based on Jo Murray’s debut legal thriller Dissection of a Murder, which will publish in 2026. The book centers Leila Reynolds, who is way out of her death when offered her first murder case by a defendant that only wants her. Complicating matters is the fact that her husband is the prosecutor.
