Episodes of the second season of “Accused”: Find out when the new episodes will be broadcast and what to expect

The highly anticipated second season of Accused will now premiere a little later than originally planned. Although the new episodes were originally scheduled to debut on October 1, 2023, the launch has been pushed back by a week, according to Deadline.

The premiere of the first episode of the second season of “Accused” is now scheduled for October 8, 2023. This postponement is a result of the upcoming vice presidential debate in the United States, hosted by CBS News, featuring Democratic Governor Tim Walz and Republican Senator JD Vance, according to a report from Collider.

With the election currently the center of attention, Fox has decided to re-schedule its programming to avoid overlap with the debate and ensure optimal ratings for its shows.

Scheduling and reprogramming

Accused's second season will air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Fox's fall schedule will see the series air alongside the new Canadian drama Murder in a Small Town. Murder in a Small Town will still air its pilot episode on October 1, but as Collider's report notes, it will follow coverage of the vice presidential debate.

The second episode of Accused's second season will air on October 8, following the show's premiere. If the schedule goes as planned, the series will continue in that order for the rest of the season.

What to expect in season 2 of Accused

Details about the upcoming season remain largely under wraps, as the anthology format ensures that each episode presents a new story. However, some information about the cast has been revealed. In an episode titled “Marcus' Story,” Nick Cannon will portray Marcus, a technology entrepreneur whose software takes a disturbing turn. The episode will also feature Patrick J. Adams and Jerrika Hinton in key roles, portraying characters who become entangled in Marcus' dramatic narrative. Season 2 will also introduce many well-known actors in various roles. William H. Macy, Felicity Huffman, Taylor Schilling, Justin Chambers and Danny Pino will be among the new faces on the series.

Special mention goes to Schilling, Pino and Chambers, who will appear in April's Story. Schilling plays April, a nurse whose criminal actions lead to serious consequences. Michael Chiklis, who appeared in the pilot episode of Accused, will also return for season 2.
