Exclusive: A&e has given the greenlight to a second season of Accused: Guilty or Innocent?, the true-crime series made by British production outfit Brinkworth Productions.
The documentary series follows individuals accused of a serious crime from the point they are charged, to the conclusion of their case in a court of law. Producers say it’s the first show of its kind on U.S. television.
Accused originally started life on ViacomCBS’s UK network Channel 5 in 2017 before it journeyed to America. A&e premiered the first eight-part season in April, offering an intimate account of people mounting their defense and going through a trial.
The first episode in Season 1, for example, followed the case of Bryan Lawson, who was charged with murdering his wife. It offered front-row seats to Lawson’s six-month route to trial, in which we meet his family, go inside the courtroom and see shocking CCTV footage of the killing.

The show opens with a News Channel 11 news report from Hawkins County, Tennessee. “Bryan Lawson is charged with first-degree murder and reckless engagement in the death of his wife, Beth ‘Chandra’ Lawson,” the anchor explains. “Police say a home surveillance system recorded Lawson shooting his wife. Investigators also said that video showed the pair in an argument before the shooting. The couple’s small child was standing beside Chandra Lawson when she was shot.” We then cut to the office of Lawson’s attorney Larry Boyd, where the pair are gaming out their defense. What follows is ringside seats to Lawson’s torturous six-month route to trial, in which we meet his family, go inside the courtroom and — shockingly — see the CCTV footage referred to in that News Channel 11 report.
Welcome to Accused: Guilty Or Innocent?, the new documentary series from A&e, which producers claim is one of the first shows on U.
