Presumed Innocent is one of the most promising new series coming to Apple TV+ this spring, and it will premiere earlier than expected. The streaming giant moved up the release date of this star-studded series, led and executive produced by Jake Gyllenhaal.

Presumed Innocent is based on Scott Turow’s book which inspired the Harrison Ford-led 1990 adaptation, and it was created for Apple TV+ by David E. Kelley. It was supposed to premiere on June 14, but the streamer moved up its release date to June 12, just three days after its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival.

Presumed Innocent will explore the power and limits of love through the tale of Rusty Sabich, who’s trying to hold his family and marriage together after becoming the prime suspect in the murder of one of his colleagues.

“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,” reads the streamer’s official logline.

In addition to Gyllenhaal in the lead role, this legal drama will also star Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, Elizabeth Marvel, Peter Sarsgaard, O-T Fagbenle, Lily Rabe, and Renate Reinsve.
