NEW THRILLE Presumed Innocent From Wednesday 12 June, Apple TV+ (first two episodes from Wed 12 June, then weekly)
Jake Gyllenhaal has been a mainstay on the big screen ever since his breakthrough role as a troubled teenager who foresees the impending end of the world in 2002 movie Donnie Darko.
This week, however, he makes a return to TV drama for the first time since his teenage appearance in Homicide: Life on the Street 30 years ago. He plays the lead role in Apple TV+'s tense new legal thriller Presumed Innocent, starring as an attorney accused of committing the murder that he's investigating.
The eight-part series, adapted from Scott Turow's hit 1987 novel, follows Chicago chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich (Gyllenhaal), whose quiet afternoon at home with his family is thrown into disarray when he gets a call informing him that his colleague and friend Carolyn Polhemus (Renate Reinsve) has been savagely murdered...
Despite the series' 'very dark material, Gyllenhaal, 43, says that he loved the chance to work on a longer-term project.
