Presumed Innocent Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 12, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 12, 2025, 11:49 IST Apple TV+'s gripping legal thriller Presumed Innocent took audiences by storm with its first season, becoming the streamer's most-watched drama to date. With its renewal for a second season confirmed in July 2024, fans are eager to learn more about what's next for this anthology series. From release date speculation to cast updates and plot details, here's everything we know so far about Presumed Innocent Season 2. Release Date Speculation for Presumed Innocent Season 2 While Apple TV+ has not announced an official release date for Presumed Innocent Season 2, several factors provide clues about its potential premiere. The first season debuted on June 12, 2024, with production having started in February 2023. Given that Season 2 is set to begin filming in Los Angeles in September 2025, a similar production timeline suggests a release likely in mid-2026 at the earliest. The source material for Season 2, Jo Murray's upcoming novel Dissection of a Murder , is slated for release in spring 2026. Apple TV+ may align the show's premiere with the book's launch to maximize buzz, potentially pushing the release to late 2026 or early 2027. Cast Updates: Rachel Brosnahan Leads a New Ensemble Season 2 will feature a fresh cast as part of its anthology format, moving away from the characters of Season 1. Here's the latest on the cast: Rachel Brosnahan as Leila Reynolds Emmy-winning actress Rachel Brosnahan ( The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ) has been confirmed to star as Leila Reynolds, a young defense attorney handling her first murder case. Brosnahan will also serve as an executive producer, marking her first major TV role since The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ended in 2023. Fresh off her role as Lois Lane in James Gunn's Superman (releasing July 2025), Brosnahan's casting adds significant star power to the series. Jake Gyllenhaal's Status Jake Gyllenhaal, who led Season 1 as Rusty Sabich, will not return as an actor but remains an executive producer through his Nine Stories banner. A cameo is possible to bridge the seasons, though the anthology format makes this unlikely. Other Season 1 Cast Peter Sarsgaard, who played prosecutor Tommy Molto, has confirmed he won't return, preferring single-season roles. The status of other Season 1 actors, including Ruth Negga (Barbara Sabich), Bill Camp (Raymond Horgan), or O-T Fagbenle, is unconfirmed. While some could return in new roles, as seen in other anthology series like The White Lotus , no additional casting announcements have been made yet. New Cast Members No other actors have been confirmed for Season 2, but the high-profile nature of the case in Dissection of a Murder suggests a robust ensemble. Fans speculate that Apple TV+ may recruit notable names to join Brosnahan, given the show's success. Presumed Innocent Season 2 Potential Plot Season 2 is expected adapt Jo Murray's upcoming legal thriller Dissection of a Murder , set for release in July 2026, instead of continuing with Scott Turow's novels ( Presumed Innocent , Innocent , or Presumed Guilty ). The story follows Leila Reynolds (played by Brosnahan), a novice defense attorney unexpectedly chosen by defendant Jack Millman to represent him in a high-profile murder case involving a respected judge. Complicating matters, Leila's husband is the prosecutor, intertwining her personal and professional lives. As she navigates the trial, Leila must protect her own buried secrets, promising a mix of courtroom drama and personal intrigue. Unlike Season 1's Chicago-based tale of Rusty Sabich's trial for the murder of his colleague and mistress Carolyn Polhemus, Season 2 introduces a new setting, characters, and case. The anthology approach allows for a standalone story, though David E. Kelley's signature twists and moral ambiguity will likely echo the first season's tone. While the novel's full details remain under wraps until its 2026 release, the publisher's synopsis hints at a suspenseful narrative with high stakes.

Rachel Brosnahan to Star in Season 2 of Apple's PRESUMED INNOCENT — GeekTyrant
Rachel Brosnahan is heading from Metropolis to the courtroom. T Emmy and Golden Globe-winning star of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and soon-to-be Lois Lane in James Gunn's Superman has locked in her next high-profile role. She'll lead and executive produce Season 2 of Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent , the legal drama from David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams. Season 2 pivots to a new case and a new character. This time, the story is drawn from Dissection of a Murder , the debut legal thriller by Jo Murray. Plot specifics are still tightly sealed, but expect another deep dive into obsession, power, and the emotional fallout of crime. The description of the book reads: 'When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she's shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn't be the kind of case she's leading; it's way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her. 'To make things worse, he's refusing to talk. How is she supposed to prove herself on what appears to be an unwinnable case? Losing is not an option. She must find the most persuasive argument. Trials aren't won by convincing judges or fellow barristers – they're all about convincing a jury. 'Suddenly, Leila finds herself fighting not only to keep Jack out of prison, but also to keep her own secrets buried. It's true what they say – there are two sides to every story. Guilty or not guilty?' The first season of the series starred Jake Gyllenhaal and was inspired by Scott Turow's 1987 bestseller, centered on a murder that rocked Chicago's Prosecuting Attorney's office. Gyllenhaal played Rusty Sabich, a character first brought to screen by Harrison Ford in the 1990 film adaptation. Season 2 is being developed by David E. Kelley, who reimagined the story for Apple, will return as showrunner alongside Erica Lipez ( The Morning Show, We Were the Lucky Ones ). Abrams and Rachel Rusch Rich executive produce for Bad Robot. Gyllenhaal, though not returning as lead, continues to executive produce through his Nine Stories banner. Author Scott Turow is on board as co-executive producer. Source: Deadline
