The Onyx Collective will soon serve up another wild case for Reasonable Doubt‘s Jax: Season 2 of the legal drama will begin Thursday, Aug. 22 on Hulu with two episodes, with new installments releasing weekly on Thursdays, TVLine has learned.
“After trying to heal from her wounds from last season’s arduous trial and deadly affair, Jax Stewart (Ballers’ Emayatzy Corinealdi) is attempting to get her life back on track,” reads the new season’s official description. “That is until one of her closest friends reveals that she has killed her husband. Her friend is claiming self-defense, but an uncompromising prosecutor thinks otherwise. Needing all the help she can get, Jax brings in an ambitious defense attorney to lead the case, but things get tense very quickly. Can Jax defend her friend, save her marriage and protect her energy while being catapulted into the biggest case of her career? Or will she lose it all?”
Joining Corinealdi for Season 2 are McKinley Freeman (Queen Sugar), Morris Chestnut (The Resident), Tim Jo (This Is Us), Angela Grovey (Joyful Noise), Thaddeus J. Mixson (Candy Cane Lane) and newcomer Aderinsola Olabode.
In keeping with the Onyx Collective brand, each episode of Reasonable Doubt is directed by Black directors and written by an all-Black writers’ room. The series was created, written and executive-produced by showrunner Raamla Mohamed, whose previous credits include Scandal and Little Fires Everywhere, while Scandal‘s own Kerry Washington also serves as an EP.

So excited – I watched season 1 on Disney+ and it was one of the few I sat down for every week. Can’t wait to see what Morris Chestnut brings!
When Morris Chestnut turns up, shows get unfortunately often cancelled.
Nina on FBI MOST WANTED. Nina doesn’t fit. The faces she makes drives me crazy. Can’t act. They should never have let Kirsten go. I was hoping her and Remi would get together.
Done with FBI international first mistake getting rid of Jaime. The two new people don’t fit. Now that Scott is gone no longer need to watch.
OMG, you all have made my weekend! My husband and I have been wondering will this series come back because it was phenominal! Can’t wait to see what lies ahead on this drama series! Thank you, thank you,thank you!
I’m so excited that this is coming back!
