Mike Colter (Evil) and Sonequa Martin-Green (Star Trek: Discovery) are among the final flurry of castings for Season 2 of Fox’s Accused crime anthology.

Based on the BBC’s BAFTA Award-winning crime anthology and developed by Howard Gordon, Fox’s Accused each season serves up collection of topical and human stories of crime and punishment. Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, each episode promises a provocative thriller, exploring a different crime, in a different city, and with an entirely original cast.
