The thought-provoking thriller — based on BBC’s crime anthology series — tackles a different crime in different cities with different stars each week, and viewers are brought into the courtroom at the beginning of every episode as a new defendant stands trial. The catch? Fans don’t know how the defendant ended up there.
Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, the show serves as a mirror to the times we’re currently living in through emotional plotlines which are teased in Season 2’s official promo, above. The teaser offers a glimpse at real-life husband and wife William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman in their roles from the premiere episode titled, “Lorraine’s Story.”

Adams, Ken Jeong, Debra Winger, Christine Ebersole, Mercedes Ruehl, and Danny Pino. Along with unveiling the first Season 2 teaser, Fox also announced that Cobie Smulders, Vella Lovell, Dina Shihabi, and Isabel Arraiza will join the ensemble for more Season 2 stories.
