The announcement comes just a week after Hulu dropped the season 3 trailer, which teased a high-stakes season packed with manipulation, legal chess moves, and razor-sharp drama, all set to Rihanna’s “Bitch Betta Have My Money.”
From Reality TV to Scripted Series
Beckham first captured audiences when he and Serena Page won season six of Love Island USA. Since then, he’s been steadily carving out his lane in entertainment. His scripted series debut came with Southern Fried Rice, a forthcoming show from Keke Palmer’s KeyTV. Created by screenwriter Nakia Stephens (Heaux & Tell, Nepotista), the series stars Beckham opposite newcomer Page Yang and is directed by Shayla Racquel.
Inside Season 3
Reasonable Doubt, created by Raamla Mohamed and executive produced by Kerry Washington, follows defense attorney Jacqueline “Jax” Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi), a powerhouse in the courtroom whose personal life is just as layered and chaotic as her cases.
Season 3 finds Jax in an unfamiliar state: peace. But when she takes on the case of Ozzie (Kyle Bary), a troubled former child star, his Hollywood-sized problems threaten everything she’s built. Meanwhile, a new face at the firm, Bill Sterling (Joseph Sikora), brings his own ambitions and complications into Jax’s world.
Alongside Corinealdi, the season welcomes back Morris Chestnut, McKinley Freeman, Tim Jo, Angela Grovey, and Victor Rasuk, with guest stars Brandee Evans, Kash Doll, Rumer Willis, April Parker Jones, Richard Brooks, Kiah Clingman, Brittany Inge, Keith Arthur Bolden, and Lori Harvey.
When to Watch
Season 3 of Reasonable Doubt premieres September 18 on Hulu and Disney+ with a two-episode drop, followed by weekly installments.
