‘One-Season Person’: Peter Sarsgaard Hints At Not Returning For Presumed Innocent Season 2

As a dedicated follower of the intricate world of television and cinema, I find myself both excited and a tad disappointed at the potential absence of Peter Sarsgaard from the second season of Presumed Innocent. Having grown accustomed to his captivating portrayal of Tommy Molto in the first season, it’s hard not to feel a pang of nostalgia when hearing that he might not return.


In a potential turn of events, the return of Presumed Innocent may not include Peter Sarsgaard, a beloved actor from the original series. Known for his role as Green Lantern, Sarsgaard has expressed an inclination towards exploring fresh characters rather than reprising his previous one.

In this role, Sarsgaard worked alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, depicting the character of a fictitious Chicago prosecutor named Tommy Molto.

As fans eagerly anticipate another installment of the renowned series “Presumed Innocent,” an actor from “The Magnificent Seven” hints that his character may not reappear.

According to IndieWire, Peter Sarsgaard hinted that he may not reappear in the second season of the mentioned show, as he typically avoids acting in sequels.

He mentioned that as far as he can recall, he’s only participated in a single season of something. He seems to suggest that he might be more suited for short-term commitments or projects, referring to himself as a “one-season” kind of person.

In the show, Jake Gyllenhaal takes on the character of Rusty Sabich, whereas Thomas Sadoski portrays Tommy Molto, the lead prosecutor who confronts Rusty.

Instead of his usual routine, Sarsgaard often takes a moment to greet fresh faces, simultaneously bidding farewell to departing ones. He always finds joy in reflecting on the experiences they’ve shared together.

In conversation about parting ways with his previous character roles, the actor from New Jersey explained that letting go of these parts can be beneficial because it encourages one to search for fresh inspiration and look forward to something different.

He continued, “I get asked all the time, ‘Did I gain weight? Lose weight? Grow a beard?’ All of that. I’m sort of just doing all of that all the time.”

Expanding on his acting journey, Peter Sarsgaard noted that while repeating a single role might lead him back to familiar “ground,” he appreciates the opportunity to portray various characters because it allows him to encounter diverse individuals.

As a die-hard fan, I’d like to clarify the portrayal of Tommy Molto in the AppleTV+ series “Presumed Innocent.” In a recent interview, he shared his perspective, revealing that Tommy was not intentionally painted as a villain but rather an individual living his own complex life.

The story “Presumed Innocent” is derived from Scott Turow’s 1987 novel. This novel has already been turned into a movie, which shares the same title and features Harrison Ford as the main character.

Presumed Innocent, the series is available to stream on Apple TV+.
