Exclusive: A&e has given the greenlight to a second season of Accused: Guilty or Innocent?, the true-crime series made by British production outfit Brinkworth Productions.
The documentary series follows individuals accused of a serious crime from the point they are charged, to the conclusion of their case in a court of law. Producers say it’s the first show of its kind on U.S. television.
Accused originally started life on ViacomCBS’s UK network Channel 5 in 2017 before it journeyed to America. A&e premiered the first eight-part season in April, offering an intimate account of people mounting their defense and going through a trial.
The first episode in Season 1, for example, followed the case of Bryan Lawson, who was charged with murdering his wife. It offered front-row seats to Lawson’s six-month route to trial, in which we meet his family, go inside the courtroom and see shocking CCTV footage of the killing.
