Apple TV+ has renewed its crime drama, Presumed Innocent, for a second season. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming service has ordered a second season of the legal drama, which is based on Scott Turow’s best-selling novel.

The show’s eight-episode first season starred Jake Gyllenhaal as a prosecutor accused of murdering a colleague. Season 2, however,  will follow a new case – with no word yet on which (if any) members of the show’s current cast (including Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, O-T Fagbenle, Chase Infiniti, Elizabeth Marvel, Nana Mensah, Renate Reinsve, Peter Sarsgaard, Kingston Rumi Southwick and Gabby Beans) will return.

Presumed Innocent was Gyllenhaal’s first starring role in a TV series, and he says of the experience: “I had never been involved in a creative process like that, meaning not just the length of a show and that it was going to be eight hours but also that it was going to be revealed to me as we went along. I like the opportunity of different mediums. I like what it does, the questions it asks. As a performer, it’s so interesting to be in a different medium and see how it feels.”

Presumed Innocent is produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and David E. Kelley Productions in association with Warner Bros. TV. Kelley adapted Turow’s novel (which was previously the basis for a 1990 feature film, starring Harrison Ford) and also serves as showrunner.

Kelley, Tinker, Abrams, Rich, Gyllenhaal and Thomason are all set to return as executive producers for Season 2, with Turow again serving as co-executive producer.
