FOX ADDS EMMY WINNER MARGO MARTINDALE, EMMY NOMINEE MOLLY PARKER, RACHEL BILSON AND JACK DAVENPORT TO HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DRAMA "ACCUSED," FROM EMMY AWARD-WINNING PRODUCER HOWARD GORDON AND SONY PICTURES TELEVISION

Renowned Indigenous Filmmaker Tazbah Rose Chavez To Write and Direct a Moving, Timely Episode, Joining the Series' Previously Announced Prestigious Directors, Academy Award Winner Marlee Matlin, Emmy Award Winner Billy Porter and Emmy Award Winner Michael Chiklis

Series Coming to FOX January 2023

From Emmy Award-winning producer Howard Gordon, the co-creator of landmark television, such as "Homeland," and the showrunner of "24," comes ACCUSED - a collection of 15 intense, topical and exquisitely human stories of crime and punishment. Each episode is a fast-paced provocative thriller, exploring a different crime, in a different city, with an entirely original cast.

FOX and Sony Pictures Television have tapped Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale ("The Americans") and Emmy Award nominee Molly Parker ("House of Cards") in a gripping episode tackling conspiracy theories. Rachel Bilson ("The O.C.") and Jack Davenport ("The Morning Show") star in a thrilling episode with a family caught in a troubling situation. Reid Miller and August Maturo also star in the episode alongside Bilson and Davenport. Acclaimed Broadway star, J. Harrison Ghee ("Kinky Boots") will appear in the Billy Porter-directed episode about a drag queen's affair and its aftermath. Ian Anthony Dale ("Hawaii Five-0") has been cast in an episode about a brother striving to protect his sibling who was injured in a devastating car accident as a child. Additional names added include Kyle Schmid ("Big Sky"), Blaine Kern ("The Walking Dead"), Chris Coy ("The Deuce"), Kristen Connolly ("Zoo"), Willam Belli ("RuPaul's Drag Race"), Robert I. Mesa ("Grey's Anatomy"), Natalie Benally ("Dark Winds"), Julia Chan ("Bojack Horseman") and Takashi Yamaguchi ("Pachinko"). These stars join the ranks of previously announced cast, including Emmy Award winner Michael Chiklis, Jill Hennessy, Oakes Fegley, Robert Wisdom, Whitney Cummings, Academy Award nominee Abigail Breslin, Aisha Dee, Emmy Award nominee Malcolm Jamal Warner, Karen LeBlanc, Wendell Pierce, Jean-Michel Le Gal, Stephanie Nogueras, Joshua Castille, Megan Boone, Lauren Ridloff, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Baron Vaughn, Sean Kleier, Rhea Pearlman, Aaron Ashmore and Tony Award nominee Daphne Rubin-Vega.

Renowned director and writer Tazbah Rose Chavez ("Reservation Dogs") has been set to write and direct an episode about Native American activists protesting a uranium mine that's been polluting tribal lands for decades. Additional directors added include Emmy Award winner Brad Turner ("24"), Jonathan Mostow ("Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines") and Lee Rose ("Star Trek: Discovery"). They join the esteemed line-up of directors, including previously announced Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin, Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award winner Billy Porter, Emmy Award winner Michael Chiklis, Emmy Award winner Michael Cuesta, Emmy Award nominee Julie Hebert, Emmy Award nominee Clark Johnson and Michael Offer.

Based on the BBC's BAFTA-winning crime anthology, ACCUSED opens in a courtroom on the defendant, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial. Told from the defendant's point of view through flashbacks, the show holds a mirror up to current times with evocative and emotional stories. In the end, audiences will discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in extraordinary circumstances, and how one impulsive decision can impact the course of that life - and the lives of others -- forever.

Developed by Howard Gordon ("Homeland," "24") and executive-produced by Gordon, Alex Gansa ("Homeland," "24") and David Shore ("House," "The Good Doctor"), ACCUSED once again fearlessly takes on the hottest topics of our time. The show features cinematic auspices and production values anchored by Oscar and Emmy-winning talent.
