Liza Colón-Zayas Joins Hulu Legal Drama Conviction

Her casting raises the series' profile as creator David Shore leads production with Elisabeth Moss serving as star-executive producer.

Overview

  • Hulu and industry outlets confirmed that Emmy winner Liza Colón-Zayas will appear in Conviction in a recurring role, and the show has not disclosed the character she will play.
  • The series is an adaptation of Jack Jordan’s 2023 novel and is led on-screen by Elisabeth Moss as criminal defense attorney Neve Harper with David Shore as the creator and executive producer.
  • Conviction’s plot follows Neve taking a high-profile murder case in which the defendant is accused of killing his wife by arson while a mysterious blackmailer threatens to expose Neve’s past.
  • Colón-Zayas arrives after winning an Emmy for her work on The Bear and ahead of a role in the film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a pairing that has amplified attention on the casting news.
  • Producers are continuing to build the ensemble from an already announced roster of established actors and have not announced a premiere date, so further casting updates and a release window are the next items to watch.
