Abigail Breslin and Aisha Dee Have Signed on to FOX Series “Accused”

The episode follows ESME BREWER (Abigail Breslin, “Little Miss Sunshine”), a waitress who left home when she was 15 to escape her toxic past. After a white nationalist plows his car into a peaceful demonstration and gets away, local police are unable to find the driver. Brewer (Breslin) and her girlfriend AALIYAH HARRIS (Aisha Dee, “The Bold Type”), who goes catfishing to find the driver of a car, take justice into their own hands.

ACCUSED was developed by Howard Gordon (“24,” “Homeland”) and executive-produced by Gordon, Alex Gansa (“24,” “Homeland”) and David Shore (“The Good Doctor,” “House”).

Based on the BBC’s BAFTA-winning crime anthology, ACCUSED opens in a courtroom on the accused, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial. Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, ACCUSED holds a mirror up to the current times with evocative and emotional stories. In ACCUSED, viewers discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in an extraordinary situation and ultimately crossing the line, revealing how one wrong turn leads to another, until it’s too late to turn back.

ACCUSED is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and FOX Entertainment, and executive-produced and developed by Howard Gordon and executive produced by Alex Gansa, David Shore, Glenn Geller, Erin Gunn, All3Media America’s Jacob Cohen-Holmes, and Jimmy McGovern, Sita Williams, Roxy Spencer and Louise Pedersen for All3Media International. Frank Siracusa and John Weber also serve as executive producers. Created by Jimmy McGovern, the original series debuted in 2010 on BBC One.
