Accused Season 2: Everything We Know (IMDb)

Exceptional series have been part of the British television landscape. Global favorites like Fleabag and Doctor Who. Often, America takes these British originals and turns them into successful American versions. Notable examples are Ghosts and The Office. Another show to follow this path is Accused which was originally a creation from Jimmy McGovern. It was well received after premiering in America in January 2023 as its adaptation. Now, everything you need to know about the show’s season 2.

When does season 2 of Accused come out?

Viewers have been yearning for the return of Accused. There were hopes that Fox would air it in fall 2023, but this did not happen due to delays caused by Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) strikes pushing the release date back. Finally, Accused will be returning on Tuesday, October 8 at 8 p.m. ET after much anticipation. This slight postponement follows a live Vice Presidential debate.

Where can I watch Accused season 2?

Fox is where you can find Accused Season 2 just like its first part. However, if one prefers streaming, each episode will be on Hulu starting from the day after they air. Since network shows are getting canceled more frequently, it feels refreshing that a show like Accused has continued support.

For example, FOX dropped shows such as Call Me Kat and The Resident but Accused speaks for itself. If you don’t watch TV over network platforms, FuboTV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV offer streaming options while all episodes from season one are available on Hulu if anybody wants to catch up.

Currently, there isn’t any trailer available yet for Accused Season Two. Fans should keep an eye open for updates regarding this matter though. Therefore stay glued to entertainment news websites for any trailer release.

What does Accused Season 2 entail?

The variety of plotlines per season is part of why Accused has many followers. Each episode has a distinct narrative that keeps viewers guessing. However, there are no detailed descriptions yet but the main concept remains unchanged for now.

The official summary reveals the introduction of a courtroom with the prosecution accusing someone facing charges. The crime and what occurred before the trial is not known to the viewers. Through flashbacks, the story unfolds from the defendant’s point of view. The theme of this show is about how ordinary people find themselves in extraordinary situations because of one spur-of-the-moment decision.

Who made the Accused?

In as much as Accused has been greatly successful, some make it so. This American adaptation closely followed its UK roots while taking into account new audience dynamics. These included Julie Hébert (ER), Michael Offer (Homeland), and Milan Cheylov (Prison Break) among other directors in season 1.

Writing credits went to Howard Gordon (24), Daniel Pearle (American Crime Story), and Chip Johannessen (Dexter). For continuity purposes with the original British series, Jimmy McGovern, creator of the show is the executive producer for the Accused US version. Others include Alex Gansa (Homeland), Howard Gordon, and Matt Code (See For Me) who joined in producing.
