Jake Gyllenhaal’s television debut Presumed Innocent has become one of the most popular new releases of June 2024. The celebrated actor, best known for his leading roles in Nightcrawler, Prisoners, Zodiac, Donnie Darko, and Spider-Man: Far From Home has surprisingly never starred in a television series until now. Presumed Innocent episodes 1 & 2 were released on June 12, 2024, with the highly anticipated episode 3 being released on June 19, 2024, exclusively on Apple TV+.

Gyllenhaal leads a star-studded ensemble cast of Presumed Innocent, which also includes Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, Elizabeth Marvel, Peter Sarsgaard, O-T Fagbenle, and Renate Reinsve. Presumed Innocent is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Scott Turow and was created for television by David E. Kelly (Big Little Lies, The Undoing). The big reveal at the end of Presumed Innocent episode 3 provides clues as to who was behind the vicious and calculated murder of Rusty’s former co-worker and lover, Carolyn.
