The Stewart Firm has barely begun, and already its future is in danger. Released on 27 October 2026, the official trailer for Reasonable Doubt’s fourth season sets up a crisis that reaches beyond defending a client: after a brutal attack, Jax Stewart’s team must keep the practice standing while dealing with grief and a growing media scandal.
At the centre of that scandal is Jax’s most loyal client, played by Durrell “Tank” Babbs. His crisis leaves the team trying to protect a client while rebuilding the firm itself.
Why Jax’s new start is so fragile
Spoilers for the season three finale follow. Emayatzy Corinealdi’s Los Angeles defence lawyer left her previous practice after repeated clashes with its partners and decided to establish her own firm. That bid for independence ended with Monica, played by Brandee Evans, firing at Jax and the family and friends gathered with her.
The previous season had followed Jax’s defence of Ozzie, a former child star accused of murder. His death, and the attack that followed, left her new chapter entangled with the losses of the old one. Season four’s battle to rebuild puts something very personal at risk: the practice Jax created after deciding she deserved better.
Speaking to TV Insider in an interview, Corinealdi described the professional pride that makes this loss of control particularly difficult for Jax.

The client at the centre of the storm
Babbs plays music mogul Eric Cropper, with whom Jax has a 14-year history. He is not simply another high-profile client: that longstanding connection adds weight to her decisions at a time when her own business is vulnerable.
The new recurring cast brings Eric’s family into the picture. La La Anthony plays his first wife, Melina, while Taylor Polidore Williams plays Brooke, his second wife, who is preparing for a contentious divorce. DeVaughn Nixon plays Tyger, Eric’s younger brother and the A&R manager for his record label.
Rutina Wesley also joins as Desiree Grant, an entertainment journalist whose work involves exposing powerful public figures. Alongside the family and record-label roles, her character brings the world of entertainment reporting into a season built around a client’s media crisis.
The Disney+ date
The trailer announces a 25 November premiere on Disney+. The available announcement does not specify the year or explicitly confirm that this date applies to the UK.
