Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal leads the cast of Apple TV+’s new thriller Presumed Innocent, based on Scott Turow’s bestselling novel. The streamer’s official trailer sets up Gyllenhaal as a prosecutor who finds himself needing a good lawyer of his own after he’s implicated in a brutal murder.
The limited series also stars Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, O-T Fagbenle, Chase Infiniti, Elizabeth Marvel, Nana Mensah, Renate Reinsve, and Kingston Rumi Southwick. Gyllenhaal’s real-life brother-in-law Peter Sarsgaard also stars in the legal thriller.
“The gripping series takes viewers on a journey through the horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office when one of its own is suspected of a crime,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “The series explores obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love, as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
The drama comes from Emmy Award-winners David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams, with both executive producing and Kelley serving as showrunner. Gyllenhaal, Matthew Tinker, Dustin Thomason, and Sharr White also executive produce. Author Scott Turow and Miki Johnson are co-executive producers. Presumed Innocent comes from Bad Robot Productions and David E. Kelley Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Executive producer Anne Sewitsky directs episodes one, two, and eight. Executive producer Greg Yaitanes directs episodes three through seven.
The eight-part limited series premieres on June 12, 2024 with the release of the first two episodes. New episodes stream on Wednesdays.
