Parmount+ UK has set a February premiere date for Season 2 (Part 1) of the crime anthology drama ‘Accused‘, based on the BBC’s BAFTA Award-winning series of the same name.
‘Accused’ is a collection of intense, topical and human stories of crime and punishment. Each episode opens in a courtroom on the defendant, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial. Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, the show holds a mirror up to current times with evocative and emotional stories. In the end, audiences will discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in extraordinary circumstances, and how one impulsive decision can impact the course of that life – and the lives of others – forever.
Season Two features cinematic auspices and production values anchored by acclaimed actors including Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Michael Chiklis, Taylor Schilling, Justin Chambers, Nick Cannon, Patrick J. Adams, Ken Jeong, Debra Winger, Christine Ebersol, Mercedes Ruehl and Danny Pino.
Additional new cast this season includes Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother, MCU), Vella Lovell (Animal Control, Mr. Mayor), Dina Shihabi (Painkiller, Catching Dust), and Isabel Arraiza (The Little Things, Driven).
The US version of ‘Accused’ is developed by Howard Gordon who executive produces with Alex Gansa, David Shore, Erin Gunn, and Daniel Pearle. Gordon and Pearle serve as co-showrunners. Milan Cheylov, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, All3Media America’s Jacob Cohen-Holmes, Jimmy McGovern, Sita Williams, Roxy Spencer and Louise Pedersen for All3Media International also EP.
‘Accused‘ Season 2, Part 1 premieres Thursday 6th February 2025 with 4 episodes as a boxset on Paramount+ UK.
