24:45 - American Crime - Season 2 - Full Storyline / Plot Revealed
Executive producer John Ridley doesn’t shy away from tackling tough social issues, as he proved in the first season of ABC’s “American Crime,” which recently earned 10 Emmy nominations.
In the anthology series’ second season, Ridley reveals to Variety exclusively, the show’s central crime will revolve around a high school boy who accuses several players on a championship basketball team at a private school of sexually assaulting him — and taking photos and posting them online. That storyline will allow the showrunner to explore issues of social economics, education, as well as sexual orientation.
“We wanted to take incidents that sometimes in other shows tend to be week-to-week and episodic and not just use them merely as plot points, but really see how they play out with family, how they have a cascade effect over time, and with the community as well,” he says.
Andre Benjamin and Regina King will star as the parents of one of the teenage boys accused of the crime. “As parents you’re absolutely tested as your kids stand accused,” he says. “Everything you believe about them gets upended.” They’re well-off, so they have the means to defend their son. “People with money have the capacity to protect themselves from the law or use the law to prove their innocence in a way that people who don’t have money don’t,” he says.

Andre Benjamin is poised to make his TV series regular debut.
The Outkast singer otherwise known as Andre 3000 has been tapped to co-star in the second season of ABC's American Crime, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The John Ridley Emmy-nominated anthology will reset its story and characters and, in season two, take place in the Midwest where an incident at a high school sparks discussions about gender issues, sexual orientation and sexual identity.
Benjamin will play Michael Lacroix, an architect who with his wife, Terri (returning cast member Regina King), are prominent members of the community in which they reside. A true power couple, they have both the financial means, as well as the acumen needed to fiercely defend their son when he becomes entangled in a scandal at an elite private school.
