Presumed Innocent is a highly awaited series set to premiere on Apple TV+ on June 12, 2024. The legal thriller miniseries is adapted from a 1987 novel of the same name by author Scott Turow. The Apple TV+ adaptation of Presumed Innocent featuring Jake Gyllenhall in the focal role, released a trailer on May 1, 2024, providing viewers with a glimpse of what is to come.
Originally scheduled to debut on June 14, 2024, Apple TV+ announced an earlier premiere date, June 12, in the trailer. The series is expected to be full of twists as per the initial looks of the trailer. Gyllenhaal's character, Rusty narrates the following at the beginning of the trailer:
"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.”
The trailer portrays the obsessive love affair between Rusty and his colleague, Carolyn Polhemus (Renate Reinsve). Following a montage of interactions between Carolyn and Rusty, the trailer eventually reveals the mysterious premise of Carol's murder.
The visuals in the trailer progressively set the tone that there is a mystery lurking as the happy memories recalled by Rusty soon turn into a recollection of more tense moments with Carol. The background music also progressively becomes more suspenseful, which does a great work of piquing the interest of viewers.
