Today, Apple TV’s X account announced that *Presumed Innocent* has secured its new lead actress.

Here’s a brief synopsis of the book:

The entire first season of *Presumed Innocent* is currently available on Apple TV+.
Apple TV+ is offered at $9.99 per month and includes acclaimed shows and films such as *Ted Lasso*, *Severance*, *The Morning Show*, *Silo*, and *Shrinking*.
