Jake Gyllenhaal (above), Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, Elizabeth Marvel, Peter Sarsgaard, O-T Fagbenle, and Renate Reinsve star in the eight-episode limited series, which is based on the Scott Turow novel of the same name. The drama was ordered by the streaming service in February 2022.
The book was previously adapted for a 1990 feature film that stars Harrison Ford, Brian Dennehy, Raúl Juliá, Bonnie Bedelia, Paul Winfield, and Greta Scacchi.
Apple TV+ revealed the following about the plot of the upcoming series:
Starring Gyllenhaal in the lead role of chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich, the series takes viewers on a gripping journey through the horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office when one of its own is suspected of the crime. The series explores obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love, as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.
David E. Kelley serves as an executive producer and the showrunner. J.J. Abrams, Matthew Tinker, Dustin Thomason, Sharr White, and Gyllenhaal also executive produce. Turow and Miki Johnson will serve as co-executive producers. Anne Sewitsky serves as executive producer and directs the first two episodes along with episode eight.
