Rachel Brosnahan to star in ‘Presumed Innocent' Season 2 at Apple TV
Season 1 of the series, which premiered in 2024, was based on Scott Turow's bestselling novel of the same name and starred Jake Gyllenhaal. The upcoming second season will shift focus, drawing from the forthcoming novel Dissection of a Murder by Jo Murray, which is expected to be published in 2026.
While Apple has not released a full synopsis for Season 2, publisher Pan Macmillan describes the plot as centering on Leila Reynolds, a young and relatively inexperienced attorney who is unexpectedly assigned to lead a high-profile murder case involving a well-known judge. Despite her doubts, the defendant insists that she represent him and no one else. Brosnahan will portray Leila Reynolds.
The series continues to be developed by David E. Kelley, who returns as executive producer and co-showrunner under his David E. Kelley Productions banner. Erica Lipez will also serve as co-showrunner and executive producer. J.J. Abrams and Rachel Rusch Rich are on board as executive producers for Bad Robot, with additional producing support from Matthew Tinker, Jake Gyllenhaal (via Nine Stories), Dustin Thomason, and Brosnahan herself. Scott Turow, the author of the original source material, is also credited as a co-executive producer.
This marks Brosnahan's first major television role since her award-winning performance in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which concluded in 2023. She earned five consecutive Emmy nominations for the series, winning in 2018, and will next appear as Lois Lane in James Gunn's upcoming Superman film.

Brand trap
In today's hyper-consumerist world, brands have evolved from simple labels into seductive illusions. Behind every gleaming logo lies a psychological operation, engineered not just to sell, but to trap. From Paris fashion ramps to Times Square billboards, from digital hoardings on Marine Drive to big banners at cricket stadiums, corporations deploy celebrity endorsements, influencer propaganda, and social engineering to convince us that their products will elevate our status, identity, and happiness. Like millions of others, I once believed that Apple made the best smartphones, Sony the finest cameras, and that Macbook Air was the only laptop worthy of having. Brand loyalty wasn't a conscious choice, it was instinctive, even emotional. Then I experimented. I switched from Mac to the Snapdragon X Elite powered Microsoft Surface laptop and was stunned by the performance. My OnePlus phone offered a smoother, more user-friendly experience than my old iPhone. The change came without the hefty price tag. That's when it hit me, I wasn't choosing better products, I was choosing better marketing. Brands don't merely sell products, they sell aspirations. Luxury fashion houses such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Dior craft more than clothes; they engineer exclusivity. Through extravagant runway shows, celebrity presence, and curated social media deluge, they create a world that whispers, 'This is what success looks like.' An advertisement for Chanel No. 5 doesn't talk about the perfume directly; instead, it showcases an elegant lifestyle filled with romance, surfing, fashion, and passion. In a Patek Philippe promotion, the models simply wear the watch; the focus is on heritage, not the timepiece. The marketing for Gucci shows elegance and high fashion aesthetics, nothing is overtly pointed out. One more weapon in the advertisement armoury is the tag line, the catchy phrases that do their part in capturing their audience: Nike – Just Do it; Apple - Think Different; L'Oréal – Because You're Worth It; Adidas – Impossible is Nothing; Rolex A Crown for Every Achievement. On social media and television, the rich and famous flaunt expensive watches, cruise around in Lamborghinis, and carry Hermès Birkin bags. Personal stylists ensure iconic personalities remain 'branded'. The illusion trickles down, infecting the middle class, who chase the same fantasy, often at the cost of financial strain. College campuses and high-society gatherings are breeding grounds for brand promotion. One student's Prada top or another's Chanel clutch becomes someone's life goal. The unspoken competition for social validation easily evolves. Instagram reels, TikTok trends, and YouTube vlogs bombard us with HD fantasies, private jets, designer bags, Monaco nightlife, luxury resorts and cruise parties. Influencers subtly plant the belief that joy is just one purchase away. Many don't buy luxury goods for personal use, they buy them to be seen. But the hard truth is that no one really cares. A stranger might glance at your Lamborghini, Rolex, or Balenciaga, but they'll forget them the next moment. The validation stands for an iota of time, but the financial burden created for purchasing that item remains for a long time. Escape the trap. Prioritise utility over hype. Ask yourself, 'Do I need this, or am I chasing a brand?' Research quality, not labels. Be aware of the manipulation. Every ad, influencer post, and red-carpet appearance is a pitch. Define your own style. It's a confidence booster. Embrace minimalism. Some of the world's wealthiest people, like Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg, dress simply because they don't need brands to validate them. So the next time you're tempted by that shiny logo, ask yourself, 'Am I buying a product, or buying into a fantasy?' sureshbabu2222@

Check out these 8 new emojis coming with iOS 26, here's when they'll drop on iPhones
Emoji lovers, buckle up, the Unicode Consortium has just dropped a brand-new batch of emojis under Unicode 17.0, and Apple fans are in for a ride. The upcoming iOS 26 update is expected to include 8 new characters that range from bizarre to kinda genius. From a fluffy 'Hairy Creature' to a 'Distorted Face' that screams internal panic, these emojis are bringing some much-needed spice to our keyboards. 8 new emojis are coming for your screens, and they are wild And yes, the release was timed perfectly with World Emoji Day, because why not flex new pixels on the most emoji-obsessed day of the year? Here's what you'll be getting The Unicode 17.0 set includes: Apple Core Ballet Dancers Distorted Face Fight Cloud Hairy Creature Orca Trombone Treasure Chest Basically, it's giving chaotic, aesthetic, and totally memeable energy. That 'Fight Cloud'? Already destined to replace the passive-aggressive '😤' in your family group chat. And the 'Distorted Face'? Perfect for every time Mercury goes retrograde and ruins your life. When will these emojis drop on iPhones? While the emojis are officially approved, don't expect them to show up on your phone immediately. Apple likes to do its own thing, translating these into their unique emoji style and slipping them into iOS updates whenever they feel like it. Sources say these icons could appear in the initial iOS 26 rollout. But if history repeats itself, like with Unicode 16.0 (which only showed up on iPhones in iOS 18.4, months later), you might be waiting until a later update like iOS 26.1 or 26.2. Patience is a virtue… or just go make your own with Genmoji. Android users, you're getting them too Android is not missing the party. Google might roll out these newbies with the Android 16 QPR1 update. Pixel fam, keep your eyes peeled. Until then, get your group chats ready. Emoji chaos is about to begin.
