Presumed Innocent is an 8 episode Drama TV Series with the first two episodes streaming on June 14, 2024 on Apple TV+. The TV Series is based on the 1987 novel by Scott Turow, that was turned into a film in 1990, starring Harrison Ford. Presumed Innocent follows Rusty Sabich, a chief deputy prosecutor in the Chicago Prosecuting Attorneys' office, who finds himself accused of murdering his co-worker (and, more importantly, his mistress) Carol Polhemus. The show explores obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love, as Sabich fights to hold his family and marriage together.

WTH ...

A movie turned into a limited series is renewed.

And there's so much fat in this season, with

 

Yeah, I think I'm out, unless I'm in the mood to binge in the future. I've just been reading posts, waiting for the season to end, and now they're going to stretch it out.

OK they wrapped it all up mostly.

It's possible they could bring some of the cast back in future seasons, depending on how long the show lasts.

I'll hold off on making more specific comments about the finale.

Obviously they padded a couple of episodes to produce 8 episodes, all well under an hour each.

Honestly this could have been a movie reboot but Apple probably wanted a series and they got ratings to justify trying to make this some kind of anthology.

Sounds like they haven't cast anyone but mainly secured rights to the source material.

They had a lead who had never done TV shows before along with very good supporting cast.

It's probably going to come down to casting more than some relatively unknown book as the source material to sustain the popularity of the show from the first season.
