Accused Season 2 Premiere Date
Despite being renewed for a second season earlier this year, there is still no official release date for Accused Season 2 as of now. The return of FOX’s scripted shows won’t happen anytime soon due to the ongoing WGA strike and the SAG-AFTRA strike that started on July 13.
Accused season 2 is among the shows being delayed till midseason, which means we’ll have to wait until 2024 for the next season of FOX’s blockbuster series. Hence, it is currently unknown when Accused season 2 will be released, and chances of it premiering in 2023 appear slim.
In the US, you can stream season 1 episodes on Hulu.
Accused Season 2 Plot
The series chronicles ordinary people, wherein each episode opens in a courtroom introducing the accused without knowing their crime or how they ended up on trial. The audience is then told the events that lead them there from the defendant’s point of view. Each episode has a new case.
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.”
Accused Season 2 Cast
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 it debuts on FOX). If you’ve cut ties with traditional cable/satellite TV, FOX is an available channel on live TV streaming services like FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. Season 1 is available to stream on FOX.
