Hulu has added four new cast members to the upcoming legal drama series “Conviction.”
Variety has learned exclusively that Linda Emond has been cast in a series regular role, while Zainab Jah, Ashley Zukerman and Jose Zúñiga have all joined in recurring guest star roles. The new additions join previously announced lead Elisabeth Moss as well as fellow cast members Jimmi Simpson, Sebastian De Souza, and Adam Godley.
The show is based on the Jack Jordan novel of the same name and was greenlit at the streamer in February.
The logline for “Conviction” states, “Criminal Defense Attorney Neve Harper (Moss), a confident lawyer, finally has her shot at a career-making case: a high-profile murder where the husband is accused of killing his wife by setting their home on fire. But when a mysterious stranger begins blackmailing Neve, she is forced to compromise every legal, moral, and ethical obligation to gain an acquittal – or else risk her dark secrets being exposed.”
Exact character details aside from Moss’ are being kept under wraps.
