Presumed Innocent season 2 premiere date: March 2025 update
Presumed Innocent With us near the end of March, doesn’t it feel like high time to discuss Presumed Innocent season 2 a little bit further? We tend to think so! After all, it has already been confirmed that the Apple TV+ legal thriller is coming back for another chapter. That is not something that you have to worry about and instead, things shift and the subject then becomes what actually lies ahead. This is not going to be the same story, and it also will not contain the same cast.
Sunday Book Review: February 23, 2025 The Legal Thrillers Edition
In the Sunday Book Review, Tom Fox considers books that would interest the compliance professional, the business executive, or anyone who might be curious.

Presumed Innocent We’ve known for weeks now that a Presumed Innocent season 2 is going to be coming to Apple TV+ — but do we now know more as to when that will be?

Presumed Innocent Are we going to be getting some news on a Presumed Innocent season 2 between now and the end of October?

With this being said, we know that there are a lot of things about the next chapter of the show that are different.
Presumed Innocent season 2 premiere date: A fall 2024 update
Presumed Innocent Given the massive popularity of Presumed Innocent season 1 on Apple TV+ over the past several months, of course they will want more as soon as possible. They have already announced a season 2, though some significant questions still remain. Take, for starters, who will be the stars this time around, and how similar the case will be to what we saw with Jake Gyllenhaal this summer. So what are the odds that we get some substantial season 2 news this fall?
Presumed Innocent season 2 premiere date: September update
Presumed Innocent Is there a chance we are going to learn more about Presumed Innocent season 2 between now and the end of September? Of course, there are reasons aplenty for excitement right now. First and foremost, we really should just remind everyone out there that another season of the Apple TV+ series is in fact coming. This was announced before the end of season 1, which came as a total surprise to a lot of people out there (us too).
Presumed Innocent season 2: When will we learn the cast?
Presumed Innocent It is incredibly exciting to know that a Presumed Innocent season 2 is coming to Apple TV+ already — and they didn’t make us wait for now! The Jake Gyllenhaal drama had an excellent first season and now, we just have to hope that they can keep it going. Now, one of the things that has been reported already is that moving forward, there will be a new cast anchoring things for the most part. We are excited about that and yet, when will we actually learn who they are?
Presumed Innocent season 2 premiere date: Is 2026 likely?
Presumed Innocent Is it fair to want Presumed Innocent season 2 back on Apple TV+ as soon as humanly possible? Let’s just put it this way: We absolutely want it soon! The first season was dramatic, compelling, and full of big moments. It is hard to imagine a scenario in which someone wouldn’t want more of this world. However, at the same time we are well-aware of the fact that an anthology series takes time.
Presumed Innocent season 2 premiere date: August 2024 update
Presumed Innocent We are certainly thrilled to know that a Presumed Innocent season 2 is going to be coming to Apple TV+ at some point. However, when is it actually going to be? If you are wondering about this at the moment, let’s just say we understand. The first season was both entertaining and addicting! Now, if you have seen some of the headlines that are out there about the show, you are well-aware of the fact that the series is going to be going in a different direction in season 2.
Presumed Innocent season 2: Peter Sarsgaard not returning
Presumed Innocent We know that a Presumed Innocent season 2 is coming to Apple TV+ at some point down the road. Yet, it seems one person is off the board for a potential return here in Peter Sarsgaard. When we last heard from the actor responsible for Tommy Molto, he seemed more ambivalent about the prospect of coming back for more as his character. However, he’s made his thoughts a little more crystal-clear now.
Presumed Innocent season 2 premiere date: When will we know it?
Presumed Innocent This is the first week in quite some time without a new episode of Presumed Innocent on the air in quite some time. Are you missing it already? Now, it is true that when it comes to the story of one Rusty Sabich, there is really not more in the way of story to tell — we’ve reached the end of his case, and we have to presume that he and the rest of his family have a rather stable future.
Natalie Portman's 'Lady in the Lake' premiere draws a big audience
News The Apple TV+ thriller Lady in the Lake got off to a strong start, immediately becoming a top 10 hit with streaming viewers. Natalie Portman leads the cast of the limited series as new episodes appear each week through late August. In addition, the Apple TV+ crime drama Presumed Innocent is still pulling in plenty of eyes, as is the mystery series Sunny. Although Apple’s streaming service is smaller than Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, it keeps producing hits.
Presumed Innocent season 2: Show EP on story possibilities
Presumed Innocent We are just a couple of days removed from the Presumed Innocent season 1 finale and yet, how can we not think about a season 2? Apple TV+ already decided to shift this away from being a limited series but other than that, further details are scarce. Take, for example, the question as to whether or not there will be characters from season 1 moving forward. It has been confirmed that there will be a brand-new case, but does this mean there will be no through-lines at all?
Presumed Innocent season 2: Would Peter Sarsgaard return?
Presumed Innocent While it was recently confirmed that a Presumed Innocent season 2 is 100% coming to Apple TV+, everything else remains somewhat a mystery. There will be a brand-new case and by virtue of that, the potential is high for largely an all-new cast. However, is there still a chance that you will see one or two familiar faces back? It’s a hard thing to rule out from a continuity perspective, as it would reward viewers who enjoyed season 1 and give them an opportunity to keep watching.
Presumed Innocent episode 8: Jake Gyllenhaal on finale twist
Presumed Innocent Trough the entirety of Presumed Innocent season 1 production, did the cast know the ending? Let’s keep the answer simple: No. Often, with shows there can be a specific process that changes depending on the producers and actors. Some people, for example, like to know far in advance where things are going to that their choices can be informed. That was not the case here.
Presumed Innocent season 2: Who could return from season 1?
Presumed Innocent Now that the Presumed Innocent season 1 finale is done, it is SO much easier to think about the upcoming second season. Still, it is crazy in some ways to consider that we already have a renewal out there for this show based on what we’ve seen already! Rusty Sabich’s story seems to be tied up about as well as we ever could have imagined it to be.
Presumed Innocent episode 8 (finale): The future of Rusty, Barbara
Presumed Innocent The Presumed Innocent finale on Apple TV+ this week offered answers on Carolyn’s death, but also other things we did not anticipate at all. Take, for example, seeing how example Rusty and Barbara Sabich moved forward after the conclusion of the trial. Before proceeding further, let us just issue another reminder here as to the verdict, shall we? Jake Gyllenhaal’s character was found Not Guilty; meanwhile, it was later revealed that his daughter Jaden was responsible for her death.
Carolyn's killer revealed!
Presumed Innocent The Presumed Innocent season 1 finale on Apple TV+ was meant to provide answers; yet, who would have thought them to be so satisfying? After all, David E. Kelley and the entire creative team behind the scenes deserve immense credit for resolving the murder case of Carolyn in a way that felt, somehow, like a massive surprise. They even, at one point, leaned into the idea that her killer would be Barbara, who was responsible for her death in the source material.
Presumed Innocent season 2 premiere date hopes after finale
Presumed Innocent It still remains somewhat of a surprise, but it’s worth noting that a Presumed Innocent season 2 is coming to Apple TV+. You don’t have to worry about that! Instead, what you have to wonder about at this point is precisely when the show will be coming back for more. So, what sort of post-finale premiere date are we looking at here? Well, there are a few different wrinkles and ideas that you can consider — but the first bit of advice here is to be patient.
Presumed Innocent episode 8 (finale): Why so many suspects?
Presumed Innocent As we prepare to see the Presumed Innocent finale on Apple TV+ in less than 48 hours, there are clearly a LOT of potential suspects. You have the obvious people like Rusty or Barbara, but then you’ve also got people like Kyle, Tommy, or even Michael who have potential motives of their own.
If Rusty is not guilty...
Presumed Innocent Are you prepared to see the Presumed Innocent finale in just a matter of days? Obviously, front and center here will be the verdict. Did Rusty really kill Carolyn? Well, if you read the book or saw the film, you already have a clear answer to this. However, the producers have already said that there is no guarantee that the show is going to follow that blueprint at all! They may go in an entirely different direction and after all this hype, we anticipate that they will.
Presumed Innocent episode 8 (finale): Did Kyle kill Carolyn?
Presumed Innocent In just a matter of days from now the Presumed Innocent finale is going to be here, and with that, the big question is obvious. Who killed Carolyn? There is still a wide array of possible suspects, and we all just has to put on our tinfoil hats as we start to think a lot of this over! With that in mind, why not go ahead and talk about Kyle as a possibility? Is there any chance at all that he is responsible for Carolyn’s death?
Sunny mystery/dark comedy becomes latest Apple TV+ hit
Sunny, a mystery thriller with a darkly comic bent starring Rashida Jones and a robot, quickly became one of the most popular shows on streaming after premiering on Apple TV+ earlier in July. But it’s not even the most-watched Apple series. That honor belongs to the crime drama Presumed Innocent, which has drawn a big audience for weeks.
Presumed Innocent episode 8 (finale): Is Rusty actually the killer?
Presumed Innocent With the finale of Presumed Innocent on Apple TV+ just a mere matter of days away, is there a better time to talk theories? We don’t exactly think so! Without further ado then, let’s just talk about a theory that is so obvious that it is so easy to overlook: What if Rusty actually did kill Carolyn? Given that this was not the case in the source material and he’s such an obvious suspect, you could just divert your eyes.
Presumed Innocent episode 8 (finale) video: Closing arguments
Presumed Innocent Leading up to the arrival of Presumed Innocent episode 8 (a.k.a. the finale) on Apple TV+ next week, we now have a new sneak preview. So, what do we learn about the road ahead here? Well, we know that we are getting ever closer to the verdict in Rusty’s trial and with that, clear answers on one key question: Who killed Carolyn?
EP on 'satisfying' finale
Presumed Innocent Next week, the Presumed Innocent finale is going to be here, and we already know that a great deal of closure is coming. While there is a season 2, it is going to serve as its own, separate story. By virtue of that, the end of this season will give you answers on Carolyn’s murder. So how are we going to see things play out? Well, the questions are plenty and understandably so, but we hope that there are a few opportunities to be legitimately surprised along the way.
Presumed Innocent episode 8 (finale): Who killed Carolyn?
Presumed Innocent In the event you have not heard for whatever reason, Presumed Innocent episode 8 is going to be the all-important finale. It is true that there is a season 2 coming, but does that mean we’re going to be waiting to get news on who killed Carolyn? Well, let’s just say to take a deep breath and know the following: Answers are ahead. The Apple TV+ series is going to be giving you all the information you want.
Presumed Innocent episode 7: The huge murder weapon reveal!
Presumed Innocent Given that Presumed Innocent episode 7 was the final one before the finale, of course it made sense for there to be a big reveal. With that being said, this is still something that we are trying to wrap our head around. After all, who left behind the fire poker, a.k.a. the murder weapon, at Tommy’s house with an ominous warning? Or, did they leave it there at all?
Who is 'The Witness'?
Presumed Innocent In a handful of hours you are going to have a chance to see Presumed Innocent episode 7 arrive on Apple TV+ — so how much does its title matter? For those who are unaware, the name for this particular episode is “The Witness” and on some level, we do like to think that there is a singular person who could matter in court the most now. Is it Michael? He was on the stand when Raymond had a heart attack, so it could easily be him moving forward.
Presumed Innocent season 2: Could anyone return?
Presumed Innocent We are days removed from the shock announcement that a Presumed Innocent season 2 is coming to Apple TV+, and we still have questions. What’s the biggest one? Well, that is not all that complicated — it is largely a matter of whether or not any familiar faces could return! Admittedly, there were two things that were a strong sell here from the get-go: The familiar property, and the presence of Jake Gyllenhaal as Rusty. That is how viewers got on board here almost right away.
Presumed Innocent season 1 episode 7: Suspects to watch
Presumed Innocent In just a couple of days, you are going to have a chance to see Presumed Innocent season 1 episode 7 arrive! We know that over the past 48 hours, a lot of buzz has been about the fact that the show is coming back for another season. Yet, we do not want to get too far ahead of ourselves here — let’s just dive deeper into Rusty’s trial for now. Who are some of the suspects to have your eye on above all others?
Presumed Innocent season 2 premiere date hopes after renewal
Presumed Innocent Yesterday, we got what may very well go down as one of the most shocking reports of the entire year — a Presumed Innocent season 2 is coming to Apple TV+ down the road. Who in the world saw that coming? We’ll just go out on a limb here and say that we certainly didn’t, though it is worth noting that this will not be a continuation of Rusty’s case.
Presumed Innocent season 2 will bring a 'brand-new case'
The crime drama Presumed Innocent is a big enough hit that Apple TV+ committed to season two before the initial season is even over. The series starring Jake Gyllenhaal has been among the most watched shows on streaming since launching in mid-June, according to analysts. Presumed Innocent renewed for season 2 Although Apple TV+ is one of the smaller streaming services, it’s growing in popularity mostly because of a string of series that have drawn big audiences.
Presumed Innocent renewed for season 2 ... but how?
Presumed Innocent Without further ado, let’s just say that we’ve got the biggest TV surprise of the month — a Presumed Innocent season 2 is coming! According to a report from Deadline, the Apple TV+ series is going to be coming back for an additional batch of episodes! It appears as though it will revolve around an entirely new case, so there is a chance it will be a brand-new cast. Yet, can you bring a character or two back? The possibilities are pretty endless here.
Presumed Innocent episode 7: Is Tommy the killer?
Presumed Innocent One of the things that is abundantly clear entering Presumed Innocent episode 7 is that there is no shortage of suspects. It would be easy to say that the killer on the Apple TV+ show is going to be the same as the killer in previous versions of this work, but executive producer David E. Kelley and his team have worked hard in order to indicate that this may not necessarily be the case.
Presumed Innocent episode 6: Jake Gyllenhaal on huge trial twist
Presumed Innocent At the end of Presumed Innocent episode 6, we had easily one of the biggest twists of the entire season, and for good reason. After all, we ended up seeing Raymond have a heart attack right in the middle of the trial! Is there a chance that we’re going to see him survive this event? In theory sure, but there are some other things we have to go ahead and recognize to ourselves now … starting with the fact that Rusty’s trial may change no matter what.
Presumed Innocent episode 6: Is Raymond Horgan dead?
Presumed Innocent Through the first six episodes, Presumed Innocent on Apple TV+ showed that it is more than capable of some truly bonkers twists. This week, we had a chance to see quite possibly the craziest one of all. After all, how else can you describe a trial where Raymond Horgan, Rusty’s attorney and one of the few people on his side, had a heart attack right in the middle of proceedings?
Presumed Innocent episode 7 spoilers: The last before finale
Presumed Innocent As you prepare to see Presumed Innocent episode 7 on Apple TV+ next week, there are a handful of things to consider. So, where do we start? The best place is, of course, noting that the Jake Gyllenhaal series is so much closer now to the end than it is the beginning. How are there only two episodes left to go this season? It’s a hard thing to wrap your head around, especially since there are so many questions that still need to be answered.
Presumed Innocent episode 6 preview: Everything to know
Presumed Innocent In just a handful of days Presumed Innocent episode 6 is poised to arrive over on Apple TV+ — but what more can be said about it now? If you are up to date on the Jake Gyllenhaal thriller, then you know already that Wednesday’s installment “The Elements” is crucial. The official logline cements that further: “The trial begins. Startling events inside the courtroom threaten to derail proceedings.” Now, what events is that talking about?
Presumed Innocent episode 6: Will Barbara take the stand?
Presumed Innocent As you get prepared to see Presumed Innocent episode 6 over at Apple TV+ next week, why not let the courtroom debates begin? After all, at the center of this next episode is a fundamental but pretty-fascinating question, one tied to whether or not Rusty Sabich has any chance to get the jury on his side. At the moment, he has almost nothing going for him.
Rusty's challenge
Presumed Innocent In less than a week’s time you are going to see Presumed Innocent episode 6 arrive and with that comes one simple thing: The beginning of the trial! So what lies ahead for Rusty Sabich? Well, let’s just say that there is trouble and plenty of it from start to finish. He has been accused of killing Carolyn and at this point, all of the evidence is against him … and it is seemingly about to get so much worse.
Presumed Innocent episode 6 spoilers: The trial begins
Presumed Innocent As we move into Presumed Innocent episode 6, it feels like the story is going to arrive to a point that everyone should be excited for. After all, the trial is set to kick off in full! For weeks on end, you have likely felt like we’d be getting to this point with Rusty and now, it’s here. He has a limited amount of time to try and prove his innocence and in the wend, we do imagine that it is going to prove pretty darn difficult for him.
Presumed Innocent episode 5 spoilers: A different killer?
Presumed Innocent As you prepare to see Presumed Innocent episode 5 on Apple TV+ in a little over two days, are things taking an unexpected turn? Well, here is the thing — for much of the season so far, we have entered it through the lens of the original source material that it was a little trickier to engage in the mystery. After all, why wouldn’t Carolyn’s killer be who it was in the past?
Presumed Innocent episode 5 spoilers: The frame job?
Presumed Innocent We do not exactly think this will be a surprise to a lot of people out there but moving into Presumed Innocent episode 5, things will be getting messy. (Or, to be more specific, somehow messier than ever before.) At this point, Rusty Sabich finds his back against the wall. He believes that he’s now being framed for the murder, but he is also not doing himself any favors by getting into fights outside of his house.
Is Presumed Innocent creating Defending Jacob resurgence?
Presumed Innocent There are certainly a few things that are beyond fascinating about Presumed Innocent on Apple TV+ so far, from the quality of the performances to the intelligence of the adaptation. It doesn’t insult your intelligence and yet, it also does feel like you are watching a summer movie at the same time.
