“Reasonable Doubt” is returning for a second season, and the legal series is tackling a very serious

LOS ANGELES — The legal series, “Reasonable Doubt,” is returning for a second season.

Besides the drama and the romance fans have come to love, this season also tackles a very serious subject matter: domestic violence.

Season two finds L.A. defense attorney Jax Stewart, played by Emayatzy Corinealdi, trying to help one of her best friends, who admits to killing her abusive husband. The show’s leading lady says if you watch, pay close attention.

“You can’t miss a moment,” said Corinealdi. “All the details count, so you have to, you know, really be invested and be tuned to the whole story as it’s unfolding, because that’s what makes the story great,” she said. “You really can’t miss anything.”

Court case aside, there’s plenty of relationship drama here, too, between the two leads.
