ComingSoon has an exclusive Accused clip from the hit Fox series, which turns procedural dramas on its head by focusing on the defendants rather than the police. Tonight the 10th episode of the first season will air on Fox at 9 p.m. ET/PT. “Esme’s Story” will follow a peaceful protester that winds up trolling the internet in order to avenge her friend, who died after a white nationalist drove his car into a crowd.
“Esme’s Story” is written by Chip Johannessen and directed by Michael Offer. The guest cast for the episode includes Abigail Breslin as Esme Brewer, Aisha Dee as Aaliyah Harris, Blaine Kern III as Ancel, Kyle Schmid as Shaggy, Darrin Baker as Judge Morse, Patrice Goodman as Maya Thompson, Josh Cruddas as Bragg, and Kristin Fairlie as Lucy.
Check out the exclusive Accused clip below:
“Based on the BBC’s BAFTA-winning crime anthology, each episode opens in a courtroom on the defendant, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial,” reads the series’ official description. “Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, the show holds a mirror up to current times with evocative and emotional stories. In the end, audiences will discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in extraordinary circumstances, and how one impulsive decision can impact the course of that life – and the lives of others – forever.”
