Following a successful freshman season, Accused season 2 is back, which is great news for show fans.
The anthology, based on the BBC original crime drama of the same name, follows different defendants each week as they attempt to convince a jury of their innocence, or in many instances, simply justify their illegal actions. The cases in season 1 of Accused would often make viewers question the morality of the crime and the American justice system, and we expect the new cases and defendants in season 2 will do more of the same.
Here’s everything we know about Accused season 2.
Next episode of Accused season 2
Accused airs a new episode on Tuesday, November 19, at 8 pm ET/PT on CBS. Here is a synopsis of the new episode titled "Margot's Story":

To date, we have no information in regards to when season 2 will make its UK debut. As updates become available, we can pass along the news.
Accused season 2 plot
Here is the official synopsis of Accused season 2:
"Accused is a collection of intense, topical and human stories of crime and punishment. Each episode is a fast-paced provocative thriller, exploring a different crime, in a different city, with an entirely original cast. Based on the BBC’s BAFTA-winning crime anthology, each episode opens in a courtroom on the defendant, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial. Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, the show holds a mirror up to current times with evocative and emotional stories. In the end, audiences will discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in extraordinary circumstances, and how one impulsive decision can impact the course of that life – and the lives of others -- forever.
"Season Two will feature cinematic auspices and production values anchored by acclaimed actors, including Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Michael Chiklis, Taylor Schilling, Justin Chambers, Ken Jeong, Nick Cannon and Danny Pino."
