When Presumed Innocent Season 2 returns to Apple TV+, it will likely be without Peter Sarsgaard. In Season 1, Sarsgaard played Tommy Molto, a prosecutor looking to convict Jake Gyllenhaal’s Rusty Sabich. No casting news was announced with the Season 2 renewal. However, Sarsgaard is not “interested” in returning for another case.

"I'm not really interested in sequels. I think I've only done one season of something… I think I'm a one-season person," Sarsgaard told Indiewire. "I tell my kids this sometimes, I've done maybe 90, 100 different things over the years between movies and TV shows and plays. I say, 'I'm really good at saying hello and goodbye.' There's something really valuable about saying goodbye, because then you have to go find another source of inspiration, and then you change."

After a well-received first season, Apple announced in July that Presumed Innocent would return for Season 2. The series will center on a new case, though Apple did not specify whether any characters from Season 1 would appear in Season 2.

Season 1 starred Gyllenhaal as Rusty Sabich, a lawyer accused of murdering his colleague and mistress. Other cast members included Ruth Negga as Barbara Sabich, Bill Camp as Raymond Horgan, O.T. Fagbenle as Nico Della Guardia, Chase Infiniti as Jaden Sabich, Nana Mensah as Det. Alana Rodriguez, Renate Reinsve as Carolyn Polhemus, Kingston Rumi Southwick as Kyle Sabich, and Elizabeth Marvel as Lorraine Horgan.
