Presumed innocent 2: Is a casting confirmed?
It is here that things become interesting. Although Gyllenhaal plays the main role in this series, he was not immediately confirmed if he would play in the future, although it could change. However, he remains an executive producer, alongside JJ Abrams, Rachel Rusch Rich, Dustin Thomason, Matthew Tinker, David E. Kelley and Scott Turow.
A person who may not come back is the real brother-in-law of Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, who played Tommy Molto. He said Indewore In August 2024: “I am not really interested in the aftermath. I think I only had one season of something … I think I am a person in one season.
What would be a shame, as the director Greg Yaitanes said Variety that being a brothers-in-law gave the actors a special bond on the set: “What it brought is that there was security, confidence and love there, which, I think, is important to go as far as they have done – and to qualify as you go. as much as them.
JJ Abrams and Deadline: “I would say that watching Peter Sarsgaard give life to this character was such joy. He is such a remarkable actor.
Presumed innocent 2: What do we know about the plot?
The official synopsis – but very vague – of Apple TV Plus is that season two “will take place around a whole new affair full of suspense”.
Even one of the executive producers, JJ Abrams, said that the team had not really taken into account the starting intrigues for the second season of the original series, telling Deadline In July 2024: “We discussed the possibility of a second season during production, but Apple then mentioned it in post. Nothing has ever been turned to set up a second season. Our goal was to tell the story of the murder of Carolyn and the trial of Rusty, and to conclude this at the end of the first season.
He added: “It is too early to talk about what could happen in season 2, but we are very enthusiastic about the possibilities we are talking about.”
We know Turow has written some follow -up novels to Presumed innocent called The burden of proof (1990) who then followed Sandy Stern after the events of the end of Presumed innocent. And in 2010, there was InnocentWho sees Sabich having (another!) Liaison, and he is accused of the murder of his wife.
Then, in August 2024, it was announced that Turow would publish another book of his successful literary multiverse, Presumed guiltywho will be released in bookstores on January 14, 2025. The case will return to Rusty Sabich, now a retirement judge, who returns one last time in the courtroom in the hope of keeping the son of his partner outside prison , when the young man becomes a suspect in a case of a missing person.
But we still have to know if one of these elements will constitute the basis of the next season or if the writers will benefit from full freedom of creation to get out of literary tracks.
