The reboot of Accused is following the same anthology format as the original: each episode stars with someone (the accused, if you like) on train. It then flashes back to their story, with the episode ending on whether they've been found guilty or not.
The British version ran for two series, and had episodes focused on characters played by former Doctor Who lead Christopher Eccleston, Umbrella Academy's Robert Sheehan, and The Lord of the Rings' Andy Serkis and Sean Bean, the latter in heels and a wig.
House and The Good Doctor creator David Shore is one of the executive producers behind the American adaptation, which is set to air on Fox in the US.
The Resident season 5 airs on Tuesday at 8/7c on FOX in the US. In the UK, season 5 is airing on Fridays at 9pm on Sky Witness, and you can catch up on seasons 1-3 via Disney+.
