The show is Gyllenhaal’s first ongoing TV role, and he says he was drawn into the story “like an audience member” after reading the first script. He also said he enjoyed the challenge of working...

Updated: “I did not kill her.” Those words repeatedly heard from Jake Gyllenhaal’s Rusty in Apple TV+s latest trailer for legal thriller Presumed Innocent, ahead of its June 12 premiere. You can watch the new trailer above and previous teaser trailer below.

Previous, May 1: Apple TV+ has released the first trailer for Jake Gyllenhaal’s legal thriller series Presumed Innocent. It begins with a voiceover by Gyllenhaal’s Rusty Sabich, saying “Love isn’t what people tell you that it is. In my experience it’s just something that grows. Until one day, you find yourself needing someone.” It’s the beginning of a steamy affair that ends up with Gyllenhaal’s Rusty looking guilty for murder. But is he?

Presumed Innocent, from David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams, premieres Wednesday, June 12. Watch the trailer above.

Apple TV+ has now released the new tense trailer for Presumed Innocent, the limited series coming to the streaming service courtesy of David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams. The legal drama has Jake Gyllenhaal in for the fight of his life as he defends himself from allegations of murdering a peer with whom he shared a complicated entanglement. It doesn’t look good for Gyllenhaal’s character, as a plethora of evidence is working against him, and he can only continually profess his innocence.

The official synopsis reads,

“Gyllenhaal is set to star as Rusty Sabich, a prosecutor whose world is upended when a close colleague is murdered — and the evidence begins to point to Rusty himself. The role would be his first ongoing part in a TV series. Presumed Innocent was previously adapted for a 1990 feature film that starred Harrison Ford as Sabich, along with Bonnie Bedelia and Raul Julia.

Apple TV+ has just released the teaser for its upcoming eight-part limited series, “Presumed Innocent,” starring and executive produced by Jake Gyllenhaal. The series, created by multi-Emmy Award winners David E. Kelley and executive producer J.J. Abrams, boasts a star-studded ensemble cast including Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, O-t Fagbenle, Chase Infiniti, Elizabeth Marvel, Nana Mensah, Renate Reinsve, Peter Sarsgaard, and Kingston Rumi Southwick.

“Presumed Innocent” is set to make its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes premiering on Wednesday, June 12, followed by a new episode every Wednesday until July 24.

Adapted from the New York Times bestselling novel by Scott Turow, the series delves into a gripping murder mystery that rocks the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office when chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich (played by Gyllenhaal) becomes the prime suspect. The show explores themes of obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limitations of love as the...

Jeff Daniels and Diane Lane rarely put in anything less than stellar performances, but the Emmy winner and Oscar nominee are rarely as good as they are in Netflix’s adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s A Man in Full.

In a fortnight that has seen the premieres of Hulu’s Lily Gladstone and Riley Keough starring Under the Bridge, the Elisabeth Moss spy thriller FX series Veil, HBO’s The Sympathizer, based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize winner and a third season of the still wonderfully wicked Hacks launching today on Max, executive producers Regina King and David E. Kelley have put a real winner on the track for Netflix with A Man in Full.

On any other show, the never better Daniels as a pugnacious Atlanta real estate tycoon Charlie Croker on the brink of bankruptcy, and Lane as his revitalized razor-sharp ex-wife Martha would be more than enough of a payoff.

The legal thriller is back!

That’s the message sent by the new teaser for “Presumed Innocent,” Apple TV+’s limited series adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1987 novel, which was previously adapted in 1990 as a film starring Harrison Ford.

The eight-part series hails from superproducers David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams, with Kelley serving as writer and showrunner. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Rusty Sabich, a Chicago deputy prosecutor whose life gets thrown into chaos when he’s suspected of murdering Carolyn (Renate Reinsve), a colleague with whom he had an affair. Per Apple, “The series explores obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love, as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.” Throw death in there, and you’ve got every major theme covered!

The ensemble cast also includes Academy Award nominee Ruth Negga as well as Bill Camp, O-t Fagbenle, Chase Infiniti, Elizabeth Marvel,...

In Apple’s Presumed Innocent teaser trailer, Jake Gyllenhaal’s Rusty Sabich paints with a broad brush, making adultery sound like a fairytale in which the wolf wins, and love conquers all. Anyone who discovers their spouse leading a double life will tell you differently, and Rusty’s about to find out what it feels like when the wool gets pulled over his eyes. Today, Apple TV+ dropped a steamy and intense-looking teaser for Presumed Innocent, the limited series coming to the streaming service courtesy of David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams.

Here’s the official synopsis for Presumed Innocent:

“Gyllenhaal is set to star as Rusty Sabich, a prosecutor whose world is upended when a close colleague is murdered — and the evidence begins to point to Rusty himself. The role would be his first ongoing part in a TV series. Presumed Innocent was previously adapted for a 1990 feature...

Presumed Innocent will make its global debut on Apple TV+. The first two episodes will premiere on Wednesday, June 12, followed by a new episode every Wednesday through July 24.

Apple TV+ has revealed the first teaser-trailer for “Presumed Innocent” starring Jake Gyllenhaal, from Emmy-winning creator David E. Kelley.

Gyllenhaal narrates the trailer as Rusty Sabich, a man seemingly consumed by his love for a woman named Carolyn (Renate Reinsve). “She woke something up inside me,” he says as the footage cuts between his time with her and images of cars and courtrooms and arguments — clearly invoking a darker twist in this alleged romance. Carolyn, it turns out, has been murdered and, given their history, Rusty is the prime suspect.

What the trailer leaves out is extra juicy: Rusty and Carolyn were coworkers and prosecutors, and the suspected crime sends waves through the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office as they mourn a colleague, reel from an affair, and pursue a murder investigation — to say nothing of how it affects Rusty’s marriage and home life.

The rest of the cast includes Ruth Negga,...

Order in the court! The Apple TV+ series Presumed Innocent, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Negga, will arrive on the streaming platform earlier than anticipated. Previously scheduled for its premiere on June 14, the courtroom thriller comes to Apple TV+ on June 12. Inspired by the Alan J. Pakula-directed thriller of the same name, the original film starred Harrison Ford, Raul Julia, and Greta Scacchi. The newest version of Presumed Innocent hails from David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams, with Gyllenhaal and Negga commanding the drama.

Presumed Innocent revolves around a vicious murder that sends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorneys’ office reeling when one of their representatives becomes a suspect in the crime. Kelley’s version is said to investigate themes of obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to keep aspects of their life from falling apart.

Jake Gyllenhaal plays Rusty Sabich in the new series,...

What happens when a powerful man faces the prospect of losing his power? A total shitshow.

In Netflix’s “A Man in Full,” Jeff Daniels plays real estate tycoon Charlie Croker, whose power is threatened by a sudden bankruptcy, conflicts of interest, and people relishing his fall from every corner. For a man who had it all, things are about to get significantly more treacherous. The trailer evokes the petty politics and animosity of HBO’s “Succession,” which has been away for almost a year and whose fans will surely be seeking this exact strain of comfort (“We got off your medical records. Turns out you’re a pussy”).

The six-episode limited series comes from writer, executive producer, and showrunner David E. Kelley and is based on the bestselling novel by Tom Wolfe. Regina King, Matthew Tinker, Thomas C Wolfe, Alexandra Wolfe, and Tommy Schlamme also executive produce, with King...

“When you die, will people notice,” Charlie Croker (Jeff Daniels) asks in Netflix‘s teaser trailer for the upcoming limited series A Man in Full. The question is as old as time and something people often ask themselves when contemplating a swift exit from this mortal coil. What would prompt a real estate mogul to have such macabre thoughts? His bankruptcy and inevitable downfall, of course.

Here’s the official synopsis for A Man in Full courtesy of Netflix:

When Atlanta real estate mogul Charlie Croker faces sudden bankruptcy, political and business interests collide as Charlie defends his empire from those attempting to capitalize on his fall from grace.

A Man in Full is based on the New York Times best-selling novel by the late Tom Wolfe, who died of an infection in Manhattan in 2018. The six-episode limited series hails from David E. Kelley Productions and Royal Ties Productions Inc.

FX has released the trailer for Part 2 of “American Horror Story: Delicate,” the 12th season of the long-running horror anthology, which was interrupted by the dual strikes last year. Starring Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts, Part 2 premieres April 3 on the network at 10 p.m. Et/Pt, and will be available to stream the following day on Hulu.

Part 1 introduced audiences to Emma Roberts’ character Anna Victoria Alcott, an actress who is trying to get pregnant but faces sinister occurrences during her journey to motherhood. Kardashian plays her aggressive publicist Siobhan. While the Part 2 trailer shows them kiss, the teaser also reveals that Anna will uncover some dark truths about Siobhan. “You’re a monster,” Roberts says to her in the trailer. “Oh no, babe. I’m so much worse,” Kardashian promises.

The rest of the cast includes Cara Delevigne, Matt Czuchry, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Maaz Ali and Juliana Canfield.

After a turbulent year in the entertainment industry, Apple TV+ emerges from the strikes and uncertainty with a star-studded lineup of original and returning series for 2024!

Previous limited series for the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned service, which didn’t give any hard numbers for Love & Death, include Station Eleven, Dmz and The Staircase.

It also noted that the limited series, which comes from writer David E. Kelley and director Lesli Linka Glatter, had the biggest launch of any Max original in 2023. However, there haven’t been any other big original drama or comedy launches this year – Love & Death has been its first original live-action scripted title to launch out of the U.S. since Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin and Rap Sh!t in July 2022, although it has launched series such as animated comedy Fired on Mars...

Inspired by Scott Turow’s courtroom thriller, Presumed Innocent is the story of a horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorneys’ office when one of its own is suspected of the crime.

Desperate housewives never got out of style on television, and in “Love & Death,” Elizabeth Olsen is playing a particularly troubled one. The “Wandavision” and “Sorry for Your Loss” actor stars in the final trailer for the HBO Max series, released this Thursday.

In “Love & Death,” Olsen portrays Candy Montgomery, a real-life Texas housewife charged in 1980 for the murder of her friend and neighbor Betty Gore after Gore was found dead in her house from 41 axe wounds. During Montgomery’s trial, it came to light that she was cheating on her husband Pat with Gore’s husband Allan, and she pled self-defense by claiming that Gore attacked her after discovering evidence of the affair. Montgomery was eventually declared not guilty by the jury, in a verdict that prompted outcry from Gore’s family and their small-town community.

We’re living in a true crime boom in both scripted and unscripted television — but “Love & Death” director and exec producer Lesli Linka Glatter said she hopes her new HBO Max series will be seen as much more than that.

Sure, the series involves the true story of accused (but acquitted) axe murderer Candy Montgomery, played by Elizabeth Olsen. “There is a horrible true crime at the core of this, but we didn’t want it to be just a true crime story,” Glatter said Saturday in a panel discussion after the premiere of “Love & Death” at the South by Southwest festival. And the show doesn’t shy away from Montgomery’s actions. But “it’s really, things are not what they appear to be. You have to go deeper to see what’s really going on. We really tried to look at the ‘how’ and ‘why’ rather than the ‘what.

Elizabeth Olsen propositions Jesse Plemons in the first teaser trailer for HBO Max’s Love & Death. The seven-episode limited series is based on the true story of Candy Montgomery who was accused of picking up an axe and giving her friend 41 whacks.

Patrick Fugit is Candy’s husband, Pat. The cast also includes Krysten Ritter, Tom Pelphrey, Keir Gilchrist, and Elizabeth Marvel.

HBO Max has set an April 27, 2023 premiere date, with new episodes arriving on Thursdays.

The limited series is inspired by Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs by John Bloom and Jim Atkinson, as well as Texas Monthly articles. David E. Kelley writes and Lesli Linka Glatter directs. Matthew Tinker, Michael Klick,...

Elizabeth Olsen isn’t satisfied in the trailer for Love & Death.

The official first look at the HBO Max true-crime drama (below) focuses on Candy Montgomery (Olsen) and Allan Gore (Jesse Plemons), as one-half of two churchgoing couples enjoying small town family life in Texas… until somebody picks up an axe, as the logline reads (and, as the true story goes).

“I have done all the things a wife is supposed to do. The house. The meals. Where is the payback?” Olsen’s Candy asks in voiceover, expressing her suburban housewife ennui, before propositioning Plemons’ Allan: “Would you be interested in having an affair?”

The limited series is written by David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies, The Undoing) and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter (Homeland, Mad Men), who helms the majority of the episodes.
