    The eight-part miniseries is the modern-day version of the 1990 film, based on Scott Turow’s 1987 novel entitled ‘Presumed Innocent’ which starred the legendary Harrison Ford.

    Jake Gyllenhaal (Rusty Sabich) starred as the Chicago chief deputy prosecutor, accused of the spine-chilling murder of his colleague and mistress, Renate Reinsve (Carolyn Polhemus). In due time we shall learn whether or not Jake Gyllenhaal will return as the series lead. However it has been confirmed he will continue forward as executive producer, alongside J.J. Abrams, Rachel Rusch Rich, Dustin Thomason, Matthew Tinker, David E. Kelley and Scott Turow. On the other hand, one thing’s for sure — two for certain, Peter Sarsgaard’s (Tommy Molto) return is questionable. Sarsgaard shared with Indiewire: “I’m not really that interested in sequels. I think I’ve only ever done one season of anything… I think I’m a one-season person.”
