Overview
In this crime anthology series, viewers discover how an ordinary person got caught up in an extraordinary situation, ultimately revealing how one wrong turn leads to another, until it’s too late to turn back. Told from the defendant’s point of view, each episode opens in a courtroom on the accused without knowing their crime or how they ended up on trial.
Seasons & Episodes
Season 1
Accused is a legal crime anthology series based on the British show of the same name. Unlike a traditional series with a continuous cast, each episode is a standalone "mini-movie" that begins in a courtroom with a defendant. The plot then uses flashbacks to reveal how they ended up on trial. The central theme of Season 1 is the "ordinary person in an extraordinary situation," exploring how desperation, love, and fear can lead people to commit crimes—or be wrongly accused of them.
Season 2
Season 2 of Accused (US), which aired in late 2024, continues the anthology format of the first season. Each episode remains a standalone "mini-movie" that starts with a defendant in a courtroom and uses flashbacks to explain the events leading up to their trial. The second season consists of 8 episodes and features an even more star-studded cast than the first.
