Hulu has greenlit a new legal drama series titled Conviction, created by David Shore of House fame and starring Elisabeth Moss. The show adapts Jack Jordan's 2023 novel and follows a defense attorney facing blackmail in a high-profile murder case. Production is set to begin filming in June 2026.
Hulu announced the order for Conviction, a legal drama written by David Shore, known for creating the medical series House. The series stars Elisabeth Moss as Neve Harper, a confident criminal defense attorney who takes on a career-defining case involving a husband accused of murdering his wife by setting their home on fire.
According to details shared by Deadline, the plot thickens when a mysterious stranger begins blackmailing Neve, compelling her to compromise her legal, moral, and ethical obligations to secure an acquittal. Failure to do so risks the exposure of her own dark secrets. This setup promises a tense exploration of justice, personal integrity, and hidden truths.
The project is based on the 2023 novel of the same name by Jack Jordan. Shore serves as the writer for the series. Production milestones include the writer's room opening later in February 2026, with filming scheduled to start in June. A premiere date will be announced at a later time.
This development adds to Hulu's lineup of character-driven dramas, leveraging Moss's acclaimed performances in shows like The Handmaid's Tale and Shore's track record in procedural storytelling. No further casting or episode details have been released yet.
