'Proven Innocent' Season 1 preview: Kelsey Grammer and Rachelle Lefevre shine in Fox's upcoming legal drama

New cases, some of which are based on true stories, are tackled every week, while the major mystery of the whodunit unravels in the backdrop.
UPDATED FEB 11, 2019

FOX's highly-anticipated legal drama has sailed to the shores of the UK and Africa even before it has premiered, so the added audience only means more expectations. FOX had teased us with several short trailers and while the premise of the show sounds like any other court-drama, 'Proven Innocent' stands distinctly apart from other shows in the genre for juggling several cases with dexterity and mystery.

The cast includes Rachelle Lefevre as Madeline Scott, who is a fierce lawyer fighting cases for the wrongfully convicted while trying to maintain her own innocence. She herself was wrongfully convicted, when she was a teenager, for the murder of her best friend Rosemary Lynch. A rather "corrupt" lawyer named Gore Bellow, played by Kelsey Grammer, sentenced Madeline and her brother to jail, but she was proven innocent. Ten years after her release, Madeline became a fierce lawyer, running her own firm and thirsting for justice.

Here's what you can expect from the drama:
