Taylor Polidore Williams is stepping into the courtroom.
The Beauty in Black lead has officially been cast in Season 4 of Hulu’s Reasonable Doubt. The news was revealed during an appearance on Sherri Shepherd’s talk show, however details surrounding her role currently being kept under wraps.
Created by Raamla Mohamed, Reasonable Doubt follows Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Jacqueline “Jax” Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi) as she navigates high-stakes cases while balancing the complications of her personal life.
Season 3 followed Jax as she took on a case tied to a former child star whose world was far messier than it first appeared. As she worked to defend her client, the season also continued to explore the pressure points in her career and personal life, setting the stage for even more tension ahead.
With Season 4 on the way, Williams’ addition brings another intriguing new element to a series that continues to mix legal drama with messy relationships, personal stakes, and unexpected turns. Season 4 will see the return of Emayatzy Corinealdi as Jax Stewart, with additional returning cast members expected, including McKinley Freeman, Morris Chestnut, Tim Jo, Angela Grovey, Thaddeus J. Mixson, Aderinsola Olabode, Joseph Sikora, and more.
Polidore Williams is currently leading Netflix’s Beauty in Black as Kimmie, a performance that has put her firmly on the radar. Her previous credits include Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black, FX’s Snowfall, and The CW’s All American: Homecoming. She made her film debut at just 14 years old in Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, and has steadily built a career across both television and film.
Kerry Washington executive produces alongside Pilar Savone for Simpson Street, with Larry Wilmore, Anton Cropper, Lena Cordina, Shawn Holley, Jon Leshay, Tamara Gregory, Erika Harrison, and Zahir McGhee also serving as executive or co-executive producers. The series is produced by 20th Television.
With a new chapter for Jax underway and unresolved tensions still lingering, Season 4 is shaping up to push the series even further—and Taylor Polidore Williams may be right at the center of it.
