Presumed Innocent Season 2 Source Material Revealed, Could Have Female Lead

As a seasoned gamer of both the small screen and the literary world, I must say that the revelation of Presumed Innocent Season 2‘s source material has stirred my curiosity like never before. Having binged through the first season on Apple TV+, I was left yearning for more of Rusty Sabich’s intricate web of deceit and justice.


The source material for Presumed Innocent Season 2 has been revealed.

In June 2024, David E. Kelley’s new series, Presumed Innocent, made its debut on Apple TV+. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Rusty Sabich, this first season is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1987 novel with the same title.

In July 2024, it was announced that Presumed Innocent would be returning for another season, but there was some uncertainty about where the show would go next since the initial season had already adapted all of Turow’s book.

According to the deadline, it’s now confirmed that Apple TV+ and Warner Bros. Television have obtained the rights for Jo Murray’s Dissection of a Murder, a book set to be released in spring 2026.

According to Deadline’s report, “Dissection of a Murder” may inspire the second season of what appears to be an anthology series. Earlier plans suggested that some characters or aspects from Season 1 might continue for narrative coherence, similar to HBO’s “The White Lotus.” However, it’s uncertain if this plan is still in place.

What else do we know about Presumed Innocent Season 2?

Unraveling a Homicide introduces Leila Reynolds, a newcomer to the world of murder investigations. However, her journey becomes more complex when her husband, the prosecutor for the case, enters the scene. Consequently, it’s anticipated that the second season of Presumed Innocent might feature a female protagonist; as of now, there’s no announcement about who will portray Leila in the series.

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve learned Presumed Innocent Season 2 will be overseen by the talented minds of Gyllenhaal, David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams, Dustin Thomason, Matt Tinker, and Rachel Rusch Rich. Unfortunately, a premiere date still remains elusive.

Currently, the initial season of “Presumed Innocent” can be streamed on Apple TV+. Joining Gyllenhaal in this series are actors such as Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, O-T Fagbenle, Lily Rabe, among others.
