Chris Evans' post-Avengers show 'Defending Jacob' releases first trailer

He might not be wearing Cap's suit, but Chris Evans is keen on protecting someone. This time around, Captain America is taking up the shield to protect his son in the upcoming Apple TV+ series, Defending Jacob. The eight-episode show is based on the 2012 novel with the same title by William Landay. It follows the story of assistant district attorney Andy Barber (Evans), whose 14-year-old son Jacob (Jaeden Martell) is accused of murder. Evans and Martell are joined by Michelle Dockery, who plays Andy's wife Laurie, as well as Cherry Jones, J.K. Simmons, and Pablo Schreiber. 

The trailer gives us a peek at the lengths Andy and Laurie go to try and clear their son's name. Defending Jacob was created and written by Mark Bomback with director and executive producer Morten Tyldum. The show debuts on Apple TV+ this April 24.
