With only two more episodes of Presumed innocent On the left, the tension is becoming unbearable. While we don't yet know the outcome of the case, we do know that the show has been such a huge success that Apple has already given the green light for a second season.
There are no details yet on the plot – it will revolve around a new suspenseful case, according to Apple TV Plus – but all the key names are back on board: David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams and Jake Gyllenhaal as executive producers and author Scott Turow as screenwriter. It is currently unclear whether Gyllenhaal will appear on-screen in season two or whether he will purely be an executive producer.
Deadline suggests we should look to the season finale for clues: “Like other successful limited series that became drama series, including white lotus and ShogunThere will probably be characters that link the seasons.”
Presumed Innocent has been a huge hit for Apple TV
The show has received mostly positive reviews. It currently has a 76% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 81% from viewers. The main criticisms of the show have been that it has perhaps been stretched too thin, turning a two-hour movie into an eight-hour season. However, many of the criticisms are based on incomplete viewing: for example, the LA Times notes that it was given the first seven episodes to watch, so the ending remains a mystery until now.
The penultimate and final episode of Presumed innocent The first season is just a few days away from launching: the penultimate episode will air from July 17th and the finale will be available from July 24th.
Apple says the first season of Presumed innocent It is the most-watched drama of all time on Apple TV Plus, eclipsing the Idris Elba drama To kidnap, which was also renewed for a second season earlier this year. So a second season of Presumed innocent It's not a surprise.
It will be interesting to see what source material the second season will be based on. Scott Turow wrote a sequel, the 2010 novel Innocentwhich was adapted for television starring Bill Pullman in 2011. But Turow also wrote the 1990 film. Burden of proof as a sequel of sorts and set in the same fictional Midwestern locale, Kindle County, Illinois. So a second season of Apple TV Plus’s top show could be based on either one, or a combination of both.
