What is Presumed Innocent about?
A murder in the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office puts chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich under suspicion. As the case develops, the series follows the pressure on his work and home life, including his effort to hold his family and marriage together. Apple TV Press describes the show as exploring “obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love.” This overview avoids revealing the killer or the ending.

#1 Best Overall
Is Presumed Innocent based on a book?
Yes. The series is based on Scott Turow’s bestselling novel of the same name. The novel is a standalone work; the television adaptation tells its story across eight episodes, giving the case and its effects on the Sabich family room to unfold over a season. The series is an adaptation, so viewers should not assume every plot or characterization choice matches the book.
How many episodes are there, and when did they air?
Apple describes season one as an eight-episode limited series. The first two episodes premiered globally on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, followed by one episode each Wednesday through July 24, 2024.

Where can you watch it, and what is its rating?
Season one is listed for streaming on Apple TV. Availability and subscription terms can vary by territory and change over time; check the Apple TV show page for current access in your region. Apple’s US listing labels the series TV-MA and gives advisories for language, violence, and sexual content. That rating is specific to the US listing; classifications may differ elsewhere.

Apple announced a second season on July 12, 2024, describing it as a new case rather than a continuation of the first season’s case. The renewal announcement named David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams, Gyllenhaal, Rachel Rusch Rich, Dustin Thomason, and Matthew Tinker as returning executive producers, with Scott Turow as co-executive producer.
When does season 2 come out?
Apple’s renewal announcement did not give a premiere date. The date is therefore not established by that official announcement; do not treat an estimate as a confirmed release date.
