Told from the defendant&#8217;s point of view through flashbacks, each episode is a fast-paced provocative thriller, exploring a different crime, in a different city, with an entirely original cast.

Accused is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and FOX Entertainment, executive-produced and developed for American television by Howard Gordon, and executive-produced by Alex Gansa, David Shore, Glenn Geller, Erin Gunn, All3Media America&#8217;s Jacob Cohen-Holmes, and Jimmy McGovern, Sita Williams, Roxy Spencer and Louise Pedersen for All3Media International. Frank Siracusa and John Weber also serve as executive producers. Created by Jimmy McGovern, the original series debuted in 2010 on BBC One.<\/p>\n<p>Set in the Philadelphia Police Department&#8217;s Missing Persons Unit, each episode of <em>Alert: Missing Persons Unit<\/em> features a heart-pounding, life-or-death search for a missing person driven by police officers Jason Grant (Caan) and Nikki Batista&#8217;s (Ramirez), whose complicated personal lives are evolving after the loss of their son. Alert is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and FOX Entertainment. The series is executive produced by Jamie Foxx and John Eisendrath, who also served as showrunner for Season One. Carla Kettner is set to join the creative team as executive producer and showrunner for Season Two.<\/p>\n<p>Carla Kettner has written and produced hundreds of hours of television, primarily dramas. Most recently she co-created and was showrunner on Panhandle, a &#8220;crimedy&#8221; for Spectrum Originals\/Roku Originals starring Luke Kirby and Tiana Okoye.
