Reasonable Doubt, Hulu’s latest legal drama series, premieres on the site on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 at 3 p.m. ET (provisional time). The show focuses on a lawyer named Jax Stewart, a highly skilled and efficient defense attorney with a rather warped perspective on the law. On the show, Emayatzy plays Corinealdi as Jax Stewart, and several others play pivotal supporting roles. Jax, a former public defender, is now a well-known criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles. Read on to learn more about Reasonable Doubt’s story, what to expect, and other intriguing facts about the courtroom drama.

What you need to know about reasonable doubt

Hulu released the official trailer for the program on September 8, 2022, which gives a glimpse into Jax’s humorously wacky and interesting existence, complete with business and complicated loves. The film begins with Jax’s voiceover stating:

“I keep thinking about Nelson Mandela’s quote: I don’t lose; I win or learn.” But what if your education comes at the expense of someone who spends the rest of their life in prison?”

Overall, the trailer has a humorous tone as the series combines aspects of comedy and drama, as well as the standard legal drama clichés, which can make for an entertaining viewing experience. As with The Good Wife, The Good Fight and Anatomy of a Scandal, viewers can anticipate a spirited, witty and dramatic series full of twists and turns. According to Hulu, the official synopsis of the series is as follows:

“In “Reasonable Doubt” you condemn Jax Stewart for her questionable ethics and bizarre legal interpretations…

until you are the one in hot water. Then you recognize her for what she is: the most intelligent and courageous lawyer in Los Angeles, who defies the judiciary at every opportunity.” The sitcom is produced by ABC Signature for Onyx Collective, with co-executive producers Jon Leshay and Shawn Holley. Holley is the famous lawyer who inspired Jax’s persona.
