Superman star to lead new season of Jake Gyllenhaal's Apple TV crime drama

Rachel Brosnahan in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Apple TV Plus's anthology crime series Presumed Innocent has lined up Superman star Rachel Brosnahan to take over from Jake Gyllenhaal in season 2. According to Deadline, the actor – who picked up an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her lead performance in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – will also executive produce the new chapter.

Given that it's based on Jo Murray's debut thriller novel Dissection of a Murder, we can assume, then, that Brosnahan will be playing out-of-her-depth lawyer Leila Reynolds, who's tasked with defending a man suspected of killing a respected, well-known judge. The jury is still out on who'll be playing client Jack Millman. The book isn't scheduled to publish until July 2026, so there's no chance for eager fans to find out how the case ends anytime soon.
