What is the Release Date for Presumed Innocent Season 2?
After a successful first season, Apple TV+ announced that it had renewed Presumed Innocent for a second season.
Unfortunately, you may have a while to wait, as it is expected that it will arrive on TV screens in June 2026.
What is the Plot for the Second Season?
As season one was seemingly tied up in the final episode, season two is unlikely to follow up on its events.
It is likely the second season of Presumed Innocent will follow a brand-new case with different characters; however, some original characters could pop up in one or more episodes.
The show’s writers may choose to adapt one of the follow-up novels by Scott Turow. The Burden of Proof could be the next plot, as it was released a couple of years after Presumed Innocent.
However, Apple TV+ might choose to go in a brand-new direction and divert away from Scott Turow’s novels. For instance, it was recently reported that the show will use Jo Murray’s Dissection of a Murder novel for its season two source material.
Who Will Star in the Second Season?
Jake Gyllenhaal is unlikely to return for season two of Presumed Innocent, as season two will focus on a new set of characters.
As the show is expected to have a brand-new plot and characters, the supporting cast is likely to change, too.
However, if the two stories connect, it wouldn’t be surprising if some familiar faces crop back up throughout the season, such as Peter Sarsgaard, Ruth Negga, Elizabeth Marvel, or Renate Reinsve. You will need to wait and see if former cast members return.
Who is the Presumed Innocent Showrunner?
David E. Kelley is the creator and showrunner of Apple TV+ Presumed Innocent and is likely to return to the role for season two.
The acclaimed TV writer has created and/or produced many hit TV shows throughout his career, such as Doogie Howser, M.D., Chicago Hope, The Practice, Ally McBeal, Boston Legal, Big Little Lies, and Nine Perfect Strangers.
Also, he has served as the creator, writer, and showrunner of various successful limited series, such as HBO’s Anatomy of a Scandal and Netflix’s A Man in Full.
Can I Watch an Official Trailer?
No. There currently isn’t an official trailer for season two of Presumed Innocent right now. Apple TV+ is likely to drop it closer to its release date in mid-2026.
