It drew a huge audience throughout its first season and left fans eagerly expecting the next installment. In March 2023, FOX renewed the series for a second season.
However, it has been almost a year since the first installment aired, and fans are still waiting for updates on season 2. So, if you’re one of them, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s everything you need to know about Accused Season 2. To know, keep on reading.
When will Accused Season 2 Premiere?
As mentioned above, FOX renewed the series in March 2023 but there is no official premiere date. Due to the now-resolved WGA strike and the SAG-AFTRA strike, which began on July 13, 2023, the return of FOX’s scripted shows was delayed. As a result, FOX’s winter 2024 schedule missed a few shows. Accused Season 2 was one of them.
However, now that the strike issues have been resolved, we can expect season 2 to return in late 2024.
How many episodes will be there in Accused Season 2?
Although the exact number of episodes is unknown at this time, we do know that the first season consisted of 15 so it’s likely that Season 2 will have a similar amount of episodes. In any case, you don’t need to worry as we’ll be the first to let you know as soon as official announcements are made. So stay tuned!
If you haven’t watched the first season, you can stream it on Hulu.
What will be the plot of Accused Season 2?
The first season’s plot and format should be followed in the second season. Every episode features a court appearance for the “accused,” though we are never told what the charges are. All of this is told by the accused. There is no denying that the show depicts greater sympathy for those who are charged or found guilty. It views it from the perspective of everyone who is wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not commit or finds themselves in dangerous circumstances as a result of one poor choice.
It’s a bit too early to know the specific storylines for each of the new episodes of the upcoming season. The show’s first season came to a startling conclusion, leaving viewers begging for more. Therefore, it is anticipated that Season 2 will be as engaging and thrilling as the first one.
The official synopsis of Accused is as follows:
“Based on the BBC’s BAFTA-winning crime anthology, each episode opens in a courtroom on the defendant, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial. Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, the show holds a mirror up to current times with evocative and emotional stories. In the end, audiences will discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in extraordinary circumstances, and how one impulsive decision can impact the course of that life – and the lives of others – forever.”
Who is in the cast of Accused Season 2?
It’s difficult to predict who from the show’s debut season will return, given the nature of the series and the fact that the majority of the season 1 cast members only appeared in a single episode. Therefore, fans will have to wait a while to know the official cast members of season 2.
Is there any trailer?
As production hasn’t yet started, the network hasn’t released any trailer for the second season. Therefore, fans must wait until we get closer to the season 2 premiere.
Where to watch Accused?
In the US, Accused Season 2 will be available to watch on FOX and Hulu (the day after the new episode airs on FOX). If you don’t have a traditional cable/satellite TV, FOX is available on live TV streaming services like FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV.
The first season of the show is streaming on Hulu. You can check on Justwatch.com if the show is available in your country.
