Accused Season 2 has added three more names to its cast, including Orange Is The New Black alum Taylor Schilling. The Fox anthology series, developed by Howard Gordon, will drop new episodes this fall.
Based on the award-winning British series of the same name, Accused — told from a defendant’s point of view — is a thriller chronicling the harrowing crimes of different accused individuals in each episode.
Per the synopsis, Accused “chronicles ordinary people getting caught up in extraordinary situations, where one wrong turn leads to another, until it’s too late to turn back.”

Macy (Shameless), Nick Cannon (Love Don’t Cost a Thing), and Michael Chiklis (The Shield).
Schilling, Chambers, and Pino are set to star in the “April’s Story” episode, following a nurse’s life-altering crime.
