Jake Gyllenhaal in ‘Presumed Innocent’ for Apple TV+
Apple has renewed its legal drama “Presumed Innocent” starring Jake Gyllenhaal for a second season on Apple TV+.
The first season of Presumed Innocent is still airing, with the eight-episode limited series set to conclude on July 24. It’s managed to enter the top 10 of streaming shows on Reelgood, indicating it is a highly-viewed show.
Due to the limited nature of the first season, it is unclear if the second will follow on any of the storyline, or reuse any characters. Apple didn’t confirm to the report any details, but did tweet “New Season. New case.”
Based on the novel of the same name by Scott Turow, Presumed Innocent follows prosecutor Rusty Sabich, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, as he faces being accused of murder by a colleague. It explores obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love.
The cast also includes Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, Elizabeth Marvel, Peter Sarsgaard, O-T Fagbenle, and Renate Reinsve. Gyllenhaal is listed as one of the executive producers, alongside J.J. Abrams.
