Apple TV Plus has greenlit the limited series ‘Presumed Innocent’, based on a novel by author Scott Turow.

The streaming service said the novel’s story will be “reimagined” for the screen by David E Kelley, the man behind hit shows ‘Big Little Lies’ and ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’.

Kelley will serve as showrunner and executive producer alongside executive producers Dustin Thomason, filmmaker JJ Abrams and Bad Robot’s Ben Stephenson, PTI reported from Los Angeles.

The courtroom thriller follows the story of a horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s Office when one of its own is suspected of the crime.

Kelley’s take on ‘Presumed Innocent’ will explore the themes of obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love, as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.

The show comes from Bad Robot Productions and David E Kelley Productions in association with Warner Bros Television.
