Hsu Rosen’s character info as well as plot details for Season 2 are being kept under wraps, but he joins star and executive producer Rachel Brosnahan, along with series regulars Matthew Rhys, Courtney B. Vance, Fiona Shaw, Jack Reynor, and John Magaro.
From David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams, the anthology series’ second installment, which will be filmed in California, is inspired by Dissection of a Murder, the debut legal thriller novel by Jo Murray. It centers on Leila (Brosnahan), an ambitious defense attorney who takes on a high-profile case. Vance plays Leila’s boss at the law firm; Shaw plays a partner at the firm and Leila’s second chair; Rhys plays Leila’s husband, the prosecutor on the case; and Reynor plays her client, the defendant.
Led by Jake Gyllenhaal, Season 1, inspired by Scott Turow’s courtroom thriller of the same name, ranked as the most watched drama on Apple TV+ at the time of its 2024 release.

MacDailyNews Take: Hopefully, “Presumed Innocent” season 2 can stand up to the success of season 1 – often a difficult ask in an anthology series.
