Jack Reynor to Star Opposite Rachel Brosnahan in PRESUMED INNOCENT Season 2 — GeekTyrant
Jack Reynor (Midsommar, Lee Cronin's The Mummy) is joining the second season of Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent, in which he will star opposite Rachel Brosnahan (Superman). Season 1 of the series was based on Scott Turow's 1987 bestselling novel, which was also adapted into a Harrison Ford 1990 movie, and season 2 is based on Jo Murray's debut legal thriller Dissection of a Murder, which is set to hit shelves in 2026. While Apple has the logline under wraps, the Pan Macmillan blurb for Dissection of a Murder reads 'When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she's shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn't be the kind of case she's leading; it's way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her.' Reynor is also starring in the next season of Amazon series Citadel, and is reteaming for the fourth time with filmmaker John Carney on his next movie, Power Ballad. Reynor has appeared in leading roles in Transformers: Age of Extinction and Carney's Sing Street. Last year he was part of the ensemble cast of Netflix's hit show The Perfect Couple. via: Deadline

The synopsis for the Pan Macmillan book reads "When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she's shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge.

The interview will focus on the memoir's most striking revelations, delving into the ex-SNP leader's successes and controversies, personal insights and political flashpoints. It is being produced by the ITV News team responsible for previous key political interviews with former Prime Ministers David Cameron in 2019 and Boris Johnson last year.

From her rise as a working class girl to the pinnacle of Scottish politics as first female First Minister, she has charted dizzying political heights to being hailed the most dangerous woman in Britain. In what I hope will be a revealing encounter, I can't wait to see how Nicola Sturgeon lifts the lid on her politics, life and legacy - and to find out where she heads next.'

To coincide with publication of her book, fans of Ms Sturgeon are being charged £75 to attend a 'meet and greet' with her later this year ahead of an interview in Edinburgh. The fee is on top of ticket prices for the event at the 2200 capacity Usher Hall which stretch to £73.95 including the booking fee. In an Instagram post, she plugged an 'evening with Nicola Sturgeon' in the Capital in which she would reflect on her career in politics.
