Elisabeth Moss is coming back to Hulu to star in Conviction, a new legal drama written by David Shore (House, The Good Doctor).

What's Happening:

  • Deadline reports that Hulu has given a series order to Conviction, a new legal drama series based on the 2023 novel of the same name by Jack Jordan.
  • Jordan recently signed a development deal with 20th Television, who also have adaptations of his novels Redemption (2024) and Deception (2026) in development.
  • Moss and Shore executive produce alongside Warren Littlefield and Bert Salke, who acquired and developed the book and oversee Jordan’s deal.
  • Moss plays Neve Harper, a confident criminal defense attorney handling a career-defining murder case involving a husband accused of killing his wife in a house fire. When a mysterious stranger blackmails her, Neve must compromise her legal and moral boundaries to secure an acquittal or risk exposing her own secrets.
  • After delivering the pilot script, Shore was asked for additional material but instead submitted a full second script — prompting Hulu to quickly issue a series order.
  • A writers room is set to open within days, with production scheduled to begin in June in New York.
  • Conviction marks Moss and Littlefield’s third Hulu project following the Emmy-winning The Handmaid's Tale and its upcoming sequel The Testaments, premiering April 8.
  • This is the first series greenlit for Shore, who prior to his writing career, was a practicing attorney.
  • Shore is also executive producing the medical drama Under Pressure, based on a Brazilian format, which is in development at ABC.
