Perry Mason Season 2 trailer finds Matthew Rhys running an unstable hand through the illusion of justice

Justice is an illusion for some in HBO‘s new Perry Mason Season 2 trailer, starring Matthew Rhys as a criminal defense lawyer hellbent on bringing light to the darkest places. The series, produced by Team Downey, returns for an eight-episode run on Monday, March 6 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

In the Perry Mason Season 2 trailer, a group of men becomes accused of murdering an influential figure, though Perry Mason thinks they’re innocent. To see justice done, Mason gathers his most-trusted associates to help solve the case and bring the actual perpetrators before the court. As Mason investigates the matter, old wounds open up, and he spirals. With wolves closing in and the fate of the innocent depending on his next moves, Mason struggles to solve the mystery and expose the real criminals.

Here’s the official synopsis for Perry Mason Season 2:

Months after the Dodson case ended, the scion of a powerful oil family is brutally murdered. When the DA goes to the city’s Hoovervilles to pinpoint the most obvious suspects, Perry (Matthew Rhys), Della (Juliet Rylance), and Paul (Chris Chalk) find themselves at the center of a case that will uncover far-reaching conspiracies and force them to reckon with what it truly means to be guilty.

Joining Rhys, Rylance, and Chalk for Perry Mason Season 2 are Diarra Kilpatrick, Eric Lange, Justin Kirk, Katherine Waterston, Hope Davis, Fabrizio Guido, Peter Mendoza, Mark O’Brien, Paul Raci, Jen Tullock, Jon Chaffin, Onahoua Rodriguez, Jee Young Han, Sean Astin, Tommy Dewey, Shea Whigham, and Wallace Langham.

The first season of Perry Mason debuted in June 2020 as the most-watched HBO series in nearly two years. It received four Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for star Matthew Rhys.
