The courtroom is back in session. Reasonable Doubt—the critically acclaimed legal drama from Onyx Collective—is returning for its third season on September 18 on Hulu, and the latest casting news proves it’s only getting juicier.
Kiah Clingman (Bruiser) and Brittany Inge (The Ms. Pat Show) have signed on in key recurring roles, joining a growing ensemble stacked with fan favorites and fresh faces.
Returning star Emayatzy Corinealdi reprises her role as criminal defense attorney Jacqueline “Jax” Stewart, whose brilliance in the courtroom is rivaled only by the chaos in her personal life. This season, after narrowly escaping legal and emotional fallout from a life-altering affair, Jax is finally finding peace. But it doesn’t last long.
Season 3 thrusts Jax into a new high-profile case involving Ozzie’s image-shattering dilemma. At the same time, office politics intensify with Bill Sterling’s arrival, and her own status at Binder, Hurwitz & Stewart is far from secure. The stakes? Her reputation, her mental health, and the delicate stability she’s worked so hard to maintain.
The returning cast includes McKinley Freeman, Tim Jo, and Angela Grovey, with Morris Chestnut back as the enigmatic Corey Cash. Additional recurring cast this season includes Rumer Willis, Brandee Evans, Richard Brooks, April Parker Jones, Keith Arthur Bolden, and Kash Doll.
Clingman will play Kristin, the supportive sister of Ozzie (played by Ginny & Georgia’s Kyle Bary), a former child actor turned A-list hopeful whose rising career gets knocked sideways by a scandal that brings him to Jax’s door. Inge will portray Kendra, the no-nonsense wife of new series regular Bill Sterling, played by Power star Joseph Sikora. Bill, a former Coast Guard vet turned lawyer, is gunning for partner at Jax’s firm—and his ambition might put him squarely in Jax’s path, both professionally and otherwise.
Reasonable Doubt is created by Raamla Mohamed and executive produced by Kerry Washington, Pilar Savone (Simpson Street), Larry Wilmore (Wilmore Films), Anton Cropper, Lena Cordina, and others. It’s produced by 20th Television, a division of Disney Television Studios, under the Onyx Collective banner.
Clingman’s past credits include Fox’s The Resident, NBC’s Ordinary Joe, Peacock’s The Comeback, and Netflix’s Undercover Brother 2. Inge recently starred in The Ms. Pat Show and has appeared in Atlanta, Boomerang, and Dynasty.
Season 3 promises more of what Reasonable Doubt does best: messy entanglements, cutthroat courtroom drama, and the high-wire balancing act of being a powerful Black woman navigating life, law, and loyalty in Los Angeles.
Get ready—Jax Stewart is back, and she’s not holding back.
