It didn't take long for Apple TV Plus to renew Presumed Innocent, its legal drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal that premiered in 2024, for a second season. But what is Presumed Innocent season 2 going to be about, and who's starring in it?

Presumed Innocent was based on a book of the same name by Scott Turow, which prior to being made into a TV series was adapted into a movie in 1990. The movie was a one-off and for many years so was the book, but Turow did eventually pen a sequel in 2010, continuing the story of Rusty Sabich as he deals with a new case.

Will the new season follow that book? What else is out there about the new season? Read on to find out what we know.

Presumed Innocent season 2 release date

There is no information on when we could be getting Presumed Innocent season 2 at this time.

In an interview with The Wrap, creator David E. Kelley did say that production on the new season was going to look to start production in fall 2025, so a 2026 premiere seems likely.

But while you wait you can watch the entire first season on Apple TV Plus, if you subscribe to the streaming service.

Presumed Innocent season 2 cast

As Kelley shared in an interview where he teased some of the first details of Presumed Innocent season 2, the show is becoming an anthology series, meaning that we're getting a whole new slate of characters to follow.

And we have the first announcement as to who will be leading Presumed Innocent season 2 — Rachel Brosnahan, best known for her Emmy-winning role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and who plays Lois Lane in the new Superman movie.

There are no details about her character or any news on other members of the Presumed Innocent season 2 cast.

Presumed Innocent season 2 plot

Again, with Presumed Innocent becoming an anthology series, the series will focus on a brand new case. This time, it will be based on a book by Jo Murray, Dissection of a Murder, which is set to be published in 2026.

As of right now, there are no details on the plot of the book available.

Presumed Innocent season 2 trailer

Since cameras haven't even rolled on Presumed Innocent season 2, it's going to be some time before we get a trailer for the new season.
