Based on the critically-acclaimed and BAFTA(R) and International Emmy(R)-winning UK format, "Accused" is an anthology series in which each stand-alone episode follows a different character as they make their way to court to hear whether they've been found guilty of a crime. As we approach the verdict, their backstories, personal journeys, and the events that led up to them being accused of the crime play out and leave the viewers questioning whether each of the people is really guilty or not.

The format for "Accused" is represented by All3Media International and was originally commissioned by BBC1.
