Accused cast: Who’s in the new Fox anthology series?

Fox has a new series as part of its 2022-2023 lineup, and it’s a crime anthology. Each episode of Accused opens in a courtroom and is told from the defendant’s point of view.

The drama’s episodes start without the audience knowing what the crime is or how the defendant’s ended up at the trial. Viewers will discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in an extraordinary situation, revealing how one wrong turn leads to another until it’s too late to turn back.

The upcoming show will focus on multiple issues that are unfortunately relevant in real life. And, a series needs actors, so who stars in the Fox anthology? Here’s what we know!
