Jake Gyllenhaal is on trial for murder in teaser for Presumed Innocent

Apple TV+ has released the first teaser for the legal thriller series Presumed Innocent starring Jake Gyllenhaal. The teaser 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?



The series by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Inspired by Scott Turow's 1990 courtroom thriller, TV premieres Wednesday, June 12, just a few days after its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 9. The premiere was originally scheduled for June 14.

Reimagined by Kelley, a lawyer by profession, the Presumed Innocent series explores obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the suspect fights to keep his family and marriage together.

Ruth Negga, Bill Camp and Elizabeth Marvel also star.

Kelley is a writer, executive producer and showrunner of the series. Abrams and Rachel Rusch Rich produce for Bad Robot. Kelley produces with Matthew Tinker through David E. Kelley Productions.
