Hulu released the official trailer for the fourth season of “Reasonable Doubt” on September 22, 2026, providing the first definitive look at the aftermath of the Season 3 finale’s violent cliffhanger. The series is scheduled to return with a three-episode premiere on October 6, 2026, before transitioning to a weekly release schedule every Tuesday through November 24.
The new footage confirms that protagonist Jax Stewart, portrayed by Emayatzy Corinealdi, was the victim of the shooting during the office assault that concluded the previous season. Season 4 focuses on her recovery and immediate return to a high-pressure legal landscape, where she must navigate both physical healing and professional threats from rivals attempting to capitalize on her vulnerability.
New Rivals and High-Profile Clients
The upcoming season introduces significant additions to the ensemble. Meagan Good joins the cast as District Attorney Regina Harris, a character poised to serve as a formidable legal adversary for Jax. Additionally, R&B artist Durrell “Tank” Babbs has been cast as Eric Cropper, a wealthy entertainer and new client whose legal troubles reportedly spark a media firestorm for the firm.
Series creator and executive producer Raamla Mohamed continues to lead the production alongside executive producer Kerry Washington. The trailer also confirms the return of several series regulars, including McKinley Freeman as Lewis Stewart, Tim Jo, Angela Grovey, and Joseph Sikora. Morris Chestnut is also confirmed to reprise his role as Corey Cash, ensuring the continuation of the complex professional dynamic established in earlier seasons.
Season 4 Release Schedule
Following the initial three-episode drop on October 6, the season will consist of weekly installments. The scheduled conclusion on November 24 suggests a total count of approximately eight to nine episodes for the season. The narrative is expected to balance the overarching mystery of the shooting with the “case of the week” format centered on Eric Cropper’s legal defense.
The series continues to be a central pillar of Hulu’s scripted drama lineup, produced by Onyx Collective. Viewers can stream the new episodes on Hulu in the United States and on Disney+ internationally starting this October.
