The first two episodes of Apple TV+’s “Presumed Innocent” is now streaming and it’s about to take your courtroom dramas to the next level.
This eight-part limited series stars and is executive produced by none other than Academy Award and Tony Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal.
And let’s be real, when you’ve got Jake Gyllenhaal involved, you know it’s going to be a wild ride.
From the brilliant minds of multi-Emmy Award winners David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams, “Presumed Innocent” promises to be a gripping legal thriller that will have you questioning everything from the justice system to your popcorn choices.
Based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Scott Turow, the series dives headfirst into the chaotic aftermath of a horrific murder that rocks the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office.
Spoiler alert: it gets messy when one of their own is the prime suspect.
Joining Gyllenhaal is an all-star cast that reads like a dream team of acting talent: Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, O-T Fagbenle, Chase Infiniti, Elizabeth Marvel, Nana Mensah, Renate Reinsve, Peter Sarsgaard, and Kingston Rumi Southwick.
This ensemble is ready to bring the heat and the drama, so brace yourselves for some intense courtroom action.
In case the plot and cast aren’t enough to reel you in, the show also promises to explore themes of obsession, sex, politics, and the limits of love.
It’s like “Law & Order” on steroids but with a lot more emotional baggage and some seriously compelling storytelling.
As the accused fights to keep his family and marriage from falling apart, viewers will be on the edge of their seats, questioning who’s guilty and who’s innocent.
