Viewers get to judge the ‘Accused’ in new Fox series

Along with the show’s characters, viewers are about to get the chance to determine whether the “Accused” in a new drama series are guilty

Fox introduces the anthology “Accused” Sunday, Jan. 22, before it settles into its regular slot the following Tuesday. With Howard Gordon –who developed the show from a BBC program – an executive producer along with his former “Homeland” and “24” colleague Alex Gansa and “The Good Doctor’s” David Shore, the program has an initial season comprised of 15 stories that each find a main character faced with a difficult choice ... leaving the audience to pass judgment on it.

The roster of “Accused” directors includes Primetime Emmy winner Michael Chiklis (“The Shield”), O Marlee Matlin (“Children of

Tony recipient Billy Porter (“Kinky Boots,” “Pose”). Chiklis also stars in the premiere episode, playing a man who suspects his son (Oakes Fegley) is planning dangerous activity; among others who appear in the series are Wendell Pierce, Abigail Breslin, Jason Ritter, Rhea Perlman, Jill Hennessy, Margo Martindale, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Rachel Bilson, Molly Parker, Betsy Brandt and Keith Carradine.

It really was finding that line between what’s kind of an esthetic rule book and set of parameters, and just kind of giving (the participants) the latitude to tell y in the best way possible.”

Because this is an anthology series, (the stories are) sort of stand-alone featurettes, and there was a huge difference in terms and tenor between the pilot episode that I in as an actor and the episode that I directed.” atlin agrees, drawing on her much more frequent experiences as an actress in explaining (via her longtime interpreter, Jack Jason) that usually, “I show set. I go to makeup I go to hair I go into trailer. I wait for my call. It’s the long hours you waiting, mostly.

, as a director, my time passes so quickly. I 12 hours has already happened? I’m so focused y aspect of production. I have to be involved crew. I have to work with the creative team. to work with the cinematographers. It’s a completely different experience, and it accesses a different and creative side of my personality.”

season tested loyalties and reignited feuds, and in the Season 13 premiere the ladies of the Garden State are learning that when it comes to planting seeds,

reap what you sow. Everything from marriage to friendships to families have been pushed to the limit, but will this be the year to finally repair what’s been broken? These relationships will need more than just magic to survive, but one thing is for certain: The ladies of New Jersey, including Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga, will let nothing stand
