Lily Rabe (“The Tender Bar”), newcomer Chase Infiniti, Nana Mensah (“Queen of Glory”), Matthew Alan (“Monster”) and Kingston Rumi Southwick (“9 Full Moons”) have rounded out the cast of “Presumed Innocent,” Apple TV+’s upcoming limited series from David E.

About ‘Presumed Innocent’

Here’s how the series is described: 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. Multi-Emmy Award winner Kelley reimagines “Presumed Innocent,” exploring obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love, as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.

Ruth Nega plays Barbara Sabich, an artist, gallerist, mother and wife whose life is upended when her husband, Rusty Sabich (Jake Gyllenhaal), is accused of murdering his mistress.

“Presumed Innocent” was published in 1987 and was turned into a 1990 hit film starring Harrison Ford. It tells the story of a horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorneys’ office when one of its own is suspected of the crime.

According to Deadline, in the upcoming series, Mensah will play Det. Alana Rodriguez, Rusty’s (Gyllenhaal) close friend and ally who becomes his only supporter within the ranks of the Chicago police force when Rusty is accused.  Infiniti will portray Jaden Sabich, Rusty and Barbara’s (Negga) daughter.

Southwick is Kyle Sabich, Rusty and Barbara’s son. Rabe portrays Dr. Liz Rush, Barbara and Rusty Sabich’s marriage counselor who finds herself on the front line of the family’s legal travails. Alan will play Dalton Caldwell, the reclusive former husband of Carolyn Polhemus (Reinsve).
