Following his recent departure from Grey’s Anatomy, Kevin McKidd has now found his next role, starring in Hulu courtroom drama Conviction.
The series, which is led by The Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss, follows Neve Harper, a confident attorney who finally has her shot at a career-making case. The case in question is around a high-profile murder in which the husband is accused of killing his wife by setting their home on fire.
The synopsis for the series says: “But when a mysterious stranger begins blackmailing Neve, she is forced to compromise every legal, moral and ethical obligation to gain an acquittal — or else risk her dark secrets being exposed.”
The series is based on the novel of the same name by Jack Jordan, and is being showrun by David Shore, who is known for his work on House and The Good Doctor.
