In renewing the series, Apple TV+ opted to make it an anthology rather than continue following Gyllenhaal's character (the actor will remain an executive producer on season two). The coming season is inspired by Dissection of a Murder, a novel by Jo Murray that's set for publication in July 2026 from Pan Macmillan. Details of the show's plot are being kept quiet; the publisher's description of the novel says it follows a young lawyer defending the accused killer of a well-respected judge. Bad Robot and David E. Kelley Productions produce Presumed Innocent in association with Warner Bros. TV. Kelley and Erica Lipez (The Morning Show) will be co-showrunners on season two, executive producing with Abrams and Rachel Rusch Rich for Bad Robot, Matthew Tinker of David E. Kelley Productions, Dustin Thomason, Gyllenhaal (via his Nine Stories company) and Brosnahan. Turow is a co-exec producer. Brosnahan earned five Emmy nominations for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, winning best lead actress in a comedy in 2018. She plays Lois Lane in director James Gunn's Superman, due in theaters July 11; her credits also include House of Cards, Manhattan and The Amateur. She is repped by CAA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, Schreck Rose and the Lede Company.

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.
