USA Network Releases Trailer for John Grisham’s The Rainmaker Legal Series

USA Network is set to premiere a new legal drama series adaptation of John Grisham’s bestselling novel The Rainmaker on August 15, with episodes available on Peacock one week later. The series stars Milo Callaghan as Rudy Baylor, a fresh law school graduate who, after being fired from a prestigious firm on his first day, joins a smaller law office run by Lana Parrilla's character, Bruiser. Rudy, along with his boss and a paralegal, uncovers two connected conspiracies surrounding the mysterious death of a client’s son, putting him at odds with his former boss Leo Drummond, played by John Slattery, and his girlfriend Sarah, who still works for the rival firm. Showrunner Michael Seitzman describes the story as a "David-and-Goliath" legal thriller that also explores coming-of-age and dangerous romance elements. Produced by Lionsgate Television and Blumhouse Television, the series aims to revive the classic USA Network tone of character-driven, witty legal drama similar to shows like Suits. The Rainmaker consists of 10 hour-long episodes and features a cast including Madison Iseman, P.J. Byrne, Dan Fogler, Wade Briggs, and Robyn Cara.
