Rachel Brosnahan to star in ‘Presumed Innocent' Season 2 at Apple TV
Rachel Brosnahan has been cast in the lead role for Season 2 of Apple TV+'s legal drama Presumed Innocent, and will also serve as an executive producer on the new installment.
Season 1 of the series, which premiered in 2024, was based on Scott Turow's bestselling novel of the same name and starred Jake Gyllenhaal. The upcoming second season will shift focus, drawing from the forthcoming novel Dissection of a Murder by Jo Murray, which is expected to be published in 2026.
While Apple has not released a full synopsis for Season 2, publisher Pan Macmillan describes the plot as centering on Leila Reynolds, a young and relatively inexperienced attorney who is unexpectedly assigned to lead a high-profile murder case involving a well-known judge. Despite her doubts, the defendant insists that she represent him and no one else. Brosnahan will portray Leila Reynolds.
The series continues to be developed by David E. Kelley, who returns as executive producer and co-showrunner under his David E. Kelley Productions banner. Erica Lipez will also serve as co-showrunner and executive producer. J.J. Abrams and Rachel Rusch Rich are on board as executive producers for Bad Robot, with additional producing support from Matthew Tinker, Jake Gyllenhaal (via Nine Stories), Dustin Thomason, and Brosnahan herself. Scott Turow, the author of the original source material, is also credited as a co-executive producer.
This marks Brosnahan's first major television role since her award-winning performance in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which concluded in 2023. She earned five consecutive Emmy nominations for the series, winning in 2018, and will next appear as Lois Lane in James Gunn's upcoming Superman film.
