Presumed Innocent Season 2: Peter Sarsgaard Not Interested in Returning

As a longtime admirer of Peter Sarsgaard’s captivating performances, I find his decision to step away from “Presumed Innocent” Season 2 both intriguing and a tad bit disappointing. Sarsgaard, with his rich tapestry of roles spanning over two decades, has always been a one-season wonder – or so it seems.


In its second season on Apple TV+, it’s probable that the series “Presumed Innocent” will be without the presence of Peter Sarsgaard. During the first season, Sarsgaard took on the role of Tommy Molto, a prosecutor who aimed to convict Rusty Sabich, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. At this point, no new cast members have been announced following the renewal of Season 2. However, it appears that Sarsgaard has expressed no desire to rejoin for another case.

“Sarsgaard shared with Indiewire that sequels don’t particularly appeal to him. He’s mostly a one-season kind of person, having only done one season of various projects throughout his career in movies, TV shows, and plays. He often tells his kids, ‘I’m great at greeting and parting.’ He values the act of saying goodbye because it forces him to seek new inspiration, which in turn brings about change.”

What to Expect in Presumed Innocent Season 2?

Following the successful debut of its first season, Apple officially confirmed in July that they are bringing back “Presumed Innocent” for a second installment. The upcoming season promises to focus on a fresh case, although it remains unclear whether any characters from Season 1 will make an appearance in Season 2.

The first season featured Tom Gyllenhaal portraying Rusty Sabich, a legal professional under suspicion for murdering his colleague and lover. Alongside him were Ruth Negga in the role of Barbara Sabich, Bill Camp as Raymond Horgan, O-T Fagbenle as Nico Della Guardia, Chase Infiniti as Jaden Sabich, Nana Mensah as Detective Alana Rodriguez, Renate Reinsve as Carolyn Polhemus, Kingston Rumi Southwick as Kyle Sabich, and Elizabeth Marvel as Lorraine Horgan.

The movie “Presumed Innocent,” which originally comes from the novel written by Scott Turow, saw its screen adaptation in 1990 with Harrison Ford portraying the character Rusty Sabich.

As a passionate gamer, I’d rephrase it like this: “In the first season of Presumed Innocent, David E. Kelley was the mastermind behind its creation and served as the executive producer. For the second season, he’s back, joined by the likes of Gyllenhaal, J.J. Abrams, Rachel Rusch Rich, Dustin Thomason, and Matthew Tinker. Additionally, Turow steps up to co-executive produce.”
