In Reasonable Doubt, you’ll judge Jax Stewart (Corinealdi) for her questionable ethics and wild interpretations of the law… until you’re the one in trouble. Then you’ll see her for what she is: the most brilliant and fearless defense attorney in Los Angeles who bucks the justice system at every chance she gets.

Reasonable Doubt is created, written and executive produced by Raamla Mohamed. Kerry Washington directs and executive produces alongside Pilar Savone for Simpson Street and Larry Wilmore via Wilmore Films. Mohamed signed her first overall with ABC Signature in 2018, and has been in the Disney family since 2009, where she started as a fellow in the Disney/ABC Writing program. She was also a writer/co-executive producer on the Emmy-nominated Little Fires Everywhere for Hulu. Prior to that, she was a writer and producer on Scandal, where she penned eleven episodes for the series, including the seventh-season crossover episode with How To Get Away with Murder.

We talk about all things showrunner, the logistics, the process, working with Kerry Washington and all the elements needed to hook an audience in after the first episode.
