Presumed Innocent: Apple Moves Up Date for Jake Gyllenhaal-Led Remake

Rusty Sabich will (wrongly) face the music just a bit earlier than planned, now that Apple TV+ has moved up the release date for its Jake Gyllenhaal-led Presumed Innocent series by two days, to Wednesday, June 12.

The Presumed Innocent remake was but one of many new and returning series touted by Apple TV+ at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in February, all detailed below.

New Apple TV+ series include Sugar (a Colin Farrell-led P.I. drama), Franklin (an historical epic starring Michael Douglas as Benjamin Franklin), Dark Matter (a sci-fi thriller headlined by Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly) and Presumed Innocent (a reimagining led by Jake Gyllenhaal).

Returning series, meanwhile, include comedies The Big Door Prize, Loot, Acapulco and Trying, Eugene Levy travelogue The Reluctant Traveler and children’s series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock.

Here’s how Apple TV+’s spring/summer schedule shakes out; new series and documentaries are in all caps, along with episode counts and descriptions.
