Fox’s new anthology series Accused kicks off season one with an episode starring Michael Chiklis as a surgeon who’s very concerned about his teenage son. Episode one, “Scott’s Story,” airs on Sunday, January 22, 2023 at 9pm ET/PT.
The first episode also stars Oakes Fegley, Robert Wisdom, Jill Hennessy, and Eric Parker. Three-time Emmy Award winner Howard Gordon (24, Homeland) developed the series based on the BBC series created by Jimmy McGovern.
“Scott’s Story” Plot: A father (Michael Chiklis) confronts the limits of unconditional love when he comes to believe his teenage son (Oakes Fegley) may be planning an unimaginable crime.
“Scott’s Story” was directed by Emmy winner Michael Cuesta (Homeland).
The Plot:
Accused is a collection of 15 intense, topical, and exquisitely human stories of crime and punishment. Each episode is a fast-paced provocative thriller exploring a different crime, in a different city, with an entirely original cast. 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.
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.
