LONDON, England — Channel 4’s critically praised series, The Jury: Murder Trial, has returned for a second season, offering viewers a thought-provoking exploration of the criminal justice system. The show, which first captivated audiences in February 2024, combines elements of social experimentation with reality television, inviting 12 everyday individuals to step into the jury box to deliberate on a fictionalized murder trial.
The new season introduces a fresh case, with gender roles flipped from its predecessor. A female defendant named Sophie faces accusations after admitting to stabbing her boyfriend, though she insists the act was a necessary response to self-defense. However, her claims raise doubts, particularly due to suspicious behavior and a peculiar emergency call.
Viewers eager to follow the unfolding drama can catch up on the first two episodes, which are currently available. The next episode will air tonight, August 28, at 9 p.m. BST on Channel 4, and fans can also stream it live or watch it on demand through the network’s platform.
Similar to its first season, the current installment of The Jury: Murder Trial is structured into four parts. The suspenseful episodes are scheduled to air nightly from Tuesday through Friday this week. Following the premiere on August 26, the release schedule includes episode two on August 27 and subsequent episodes on the following nights.
As the series progresses, viewers can anticipate a dramatic conclusion to Sophie’s trial when the season finale airs on Friday at 9 p.m. BST, raising the question of whether the jury will reach the same verdict as in the true case that inspired the storyline.
The full release schedule for the remaining episodes is as follows:
- Episode 1 – "The Defence" – Tuesday, August 26
- Episode 2 – "The Case" – Wednesday, August 27
- Episode 3 – "TBA" – Thursday, August 28
- Episode 4 – "TBA" – Friday, August 29
With its combination of real-life intricacies and dramatized storytelling, The Jury: Murder Trial is set to challenge viewers’ perspectives on justice and morality. The show remains available for those who wish to engage with this innovative experiment in legal proceedings as it unfolds.
