Rachel Brosnahan to Lead Presumed Innocent Season 2

Rachel Brosnahan has been cast as the lead and will serve as executive producer for Season 2 of Apple TV+'s legal thriller 'Presumed Innocent.' The series, which was originally based on Scott Turow’s novel and starred Jake Gyllenhaal, will shift to an anthology format with the new season inspired by Jo Murray's forthcoming novel 'Dissection of a Murder.' Brosnahan will play defense attorney Leila Reynolds, who faces her first murder case while confronting personal issues from her past. Key creative figures from the inaugural season, including David E. Kelley and Jake Gyllenhaal (now as executive producer), will return. The new season marks a departure from Turow’s source material, signaling a broader narrative direction for the series. This renewal reflects the show's success and Apple TV+'s intent to expand it beyond its original miniseries format.
