Rachel Brosnahan To Follow Up Superman With Presumed Innocent Season 2 Lead

One month out from her debut as intrepid reporter Lois Lane in James Gunn's highly anticipated Superman movie, Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan has landed a lead role in Season 2 of Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent.

Brosnahan will also serve as an executive producer on Season 2, which is inspired by Dissection of a Murder, the debut legal thriller by Jo Murray (due in book stores July 2026).

Details around the plot are thus far being kept under wraps... unless, of course, you go to the Dissection of a Murder publisher's website.

Apple TV+ renewed Presumed Innocent for a second season back in July 2024, weeks ahead of the Season 1 finale's release. The streamer noted at the time that Season 2 would "revolve around a new case," signaling that the legal drama series was becoming an anthology.

Season 1 — based on the Scott Turow bestseller that also inspired a 1990 movie version starring Harrison Ford — starred Jake Gyllenhaal as Rusty Sabich, a Los Angeles prosecutor accused of murdering his colleague and mistress.

David E. Kelley will once again serve as showrunner on Presumed Innocent Season 2 alongside Erica Lipez. They and Brosnahan will exec-produce alongside Gyllenhaal, J.J. Abrams, Rachel Rusch Rich and Matthew Tinker , while Presumed Innocent author Scott Turow acts as a co-EP.
