After becoming a hit on Apple TV+, a new show has been renewed for season 2, and, interestingly, its season 2 plan makes it a worthy competitor to True Detective. When True Detective season 1 first premiered on HBO in January 2014, it quickly rose in the ranks as one of the most critically acclaimed IPs on the network. The show also went on to win many awards for its incredibly brilliant writing, immersive cinematography, and compelling performances. Season 1’s success spawned season 2, which, unfortunately, could not even come close to matching its predecessor’s success.
Fortunately, True Detective was back in form with season 3, which did not match season 1 but still etched its own identity in the crime genre. The HBO show’s season 4 garnered a divisive response from viewers but earned big numbers on streaming and even landed in most critics’ good books. With another True Detective season confirmed, the HBO TV franchise’s popularity will likely keep growing from strength to strength. However, while it is at it, True Detective might also face stiff competition from an Apple TV+ show.
Presumed Innocent’s Renewal Plan Makes It Similar To True Detective
Presumed Innocent Is Seemingly Taking The Anthology Approach With Its Next Season
Even before the release of its finale, Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent has been renewed for season 2. Given how the show’s overall reception has been positive, and it has also been commercially successful, its season 2 confirmation is not surprising. However, what makes its season 2 return interesting is that as per reports (via Deadline), it “will unfold around a suspenseful, brand-new case.” With a brand-new case driving its overarching storyline in season 2, Presumed Innocent will seemingly take an anthology approach, similar to True Detective.
Following True Detective season 2’s format, Presumed Innocent’ s next installment could follow a new set of characters embroiled in a brand-new murder mystery case.
As Presumed Innocent’s season 2 plan suggests, it will likely unfold in a completely different setting and follow the lives of new law enforcer characters. Like True Detective season 1, which features Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as its leads, Presumed Innocent‘s first installment also stars big names like Bill Camp and Jake Gyllenhaal as its primary law enforcers. Following True Detective season 2’s format, Presumed Innocent’s next installment could follow a new set of characters embroiled in a brand-new murder mystery case.
Presumed Innocent’s Season 2 Could Achieve What True Detective Season 2 Couldn’t
Presumed Innocent Season 2 Can Be Better Than Season 1
Presumed Innocent season 1 walks through a gripping murder mystery and perfectly keeps viewers glued to its courtroom and family drama by presenting several red herrings and intriguing clues. It also features brilliant performances from Jake Gyllenhaal, Bill Camp, Ruth Negga, and Peter Sarsgaard, further immersing viewers in its tense and captivating crime narrative. However, unlike True Detective season 1, it does not capture lighting in a bottle, which leaves some scope for it to improve in season 2.

Although True Detective season 2 has many issues, it was primarily weighed down by the expectation that it would be as good (if not better) as its predecessor. Every subsequent season of the HBO series has struggled with the same issue because True Detective season 1 set the bar a little too high. Apple TV+‘s Presumed Innocent, in contrast, has more room to evolve with season 2 and other potential future installments because season 1 is not perfect.
