June 10 (UPI) -- Apple TV+ announced Tuesday that Rachel Brosnahan would star in a second season of Presumed Innocent. Brosnahan also will executive produce.
Season 2 of the show is based on the Jo Murray novel Dissection of a Murder. Due in 2026, Dissection is about an attorney named Leila Reynolds defending a man accused of murdering a judge.
Season 1 was based on the Scott Turow novel Presumed Innocent. It starred Jake Gyllenhaal as Rusty Sabitch, a lawyer on trial for the murder of a colleague with whom he was having an affair.
