“Reasonable Doubt” is returning for a third season on Hulu.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series was picked up a month after the conclusion of the second season.

The acclaimed Onyx Collective legal drama stars Emayatzy Corinealdi as Jax Stewart, a high-powered criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles. All the while, she’s juggling family issues, her love life, and defending her clients.

Other members of the cast include McKinley Freeman, Morris Chestnut, Tim Jo, Angela Grovey, Thaddeus J. Mixson, and Aderinsola Olabode.

Raamla Mohamed, creator and showrunner of the series, took to Instagram to share the news.

“The verdict is in. Season 3 is officially a guilty pleasure! ⚖️ We’re back, and this time, the stakes are higher,” her post read. “Can’t wait to bring you more drama, more twists, and more justice. See you in the courtroom!”

Previously, she spoke optimistically about the possibility of another season.

“They [Hulu] definitely are happy with the way the show is performing, and it’s doing well and people are really excited about it so that makes me very happy,” Mohamed said. “I’m hoping that I hear something before the end of the year either way. The most important thing is that people keep watching, keep telling their friends.”

Mohamed said she wasn’t sure if Chestnut would return because he’s also starring in the upcoming CBS drama “Watson” starring in January,

“Morris is amazing, not just on screen but working with him. He’s also booked and busy,” she said. “He has a whole other show that he’s the lead in, so I was happy to have him in the little window that I could have him.”

She also spoke about the importance of Black shows told by Black creatives.

“I’m hoping that I hear something before the end of the year either way. The most important thing is that people keep watching, keep telling their friends. Black content is important, whatever kind of show it is. Because we all relate to these shows differently,” Mohamed said.

“I remember when Power premiered on Starz, and it was like, ‘Oh, I’m into this.’ It was fun to see us. It’s great to see Black actors really shine,” she continued. “I’m glad Bel-Air is doing well, so I hope that people are committed to Black content and continuing the shows that people are people are talking about.”
