Viewers get to judge the

in new Fox series

Along with the show’s characters, viewers are about to get the chance to determine whether the “Accused” in a new drama series are guilty

Fox introduces the anthology “Accused” Sunday, Jan. 22, before it settles into its regular slot the following Tuesday. With Howard Gordon –who developed the show from a BBC program – an executive producer along with his former “Homeland” and “24” colleague Alex Gansa and “The Good Doctor’s” David Shore, the program has an initial season comprised of 15 stories that each find a main character faced with a difficult choice ... leaving the audience to pass judgment on it.

The roster of “Accused” directors includes Primetime Emmy winner Michael Chiklis (“The Shield”), O Marlee Matlin (“Children of

Tony recipient Billy Porter (“Kinky Boots,” “Pose”). Chiklis also stars in the premiere episode, playing a man who suspects his son (Oakes Fegley) is planning dangerous activity; among others who appear in the series are Wendell Pierce, Abigail Breslin, Jason Ritter, Rhea Perlman, Jill Hennessy, Margo Martindale, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Rachel Bilson, Molly Parker, Betsy Brandt and Keith Carradine.

For any differences between the stories on “Accused,” Gordon confirms that the overall series reflects “a format uniformity We wanted, at the same time, to give all the filmmakers and all the storytellers (their) own kind of vocabulary. It really was finding that line between what’s kind of an esthetic rule book and set of parameters, and just kind of giving (the participants) the latitude to tell y in the best way possible.”

Chiklis maintains that approach worked well for When I directed episodes of ‘ The Shield,’ ecalls, “that was a very specific template and had to really adhere to it. Because this is an anthology series, (the stories are) sort of stand-alone featurettes, and there was a huge difference in terms and tenor between the pilot episode that I in as an actor and the episode that I directed.” atlin agrees, drawing on her much more frequent experiences as an actress in explaining (via her longtime interpreter, Jack Jason) that usually, “I show set. I go to makeup. I go to hair. I go into trailer I wait for my call. It’s the long hours you waiting, mostly.

, as a director, my time passes so quickly. I 12 hours has already happened? I’m so focused y aspect of production. I have to be involved crew. I have to work with the creative team. to work with the cinematographers. It’s a completely different experience, and it accesses a different and creative side of my personality.”

BEST HENRY FONDA MOVIES

“Jezebel” (1938) Sor t of a “Gone With the Wind” without the same exact characters, this well-regarded drama casts Bette Davis as a willful Southern belle who wants to retrieve the man she let get away (Fonda).

“Young Mr. Lincoln” (1939) This John Ford-directed view of the young Abraham Lincoln did much to advance Fonda’s profile.

“The Grapes of Wrath” (1940) A milestone in American movies, director John Ford’s version of the John Steinbeck novel hinges largely on Fonda’s moving por trayal

of Tom Joad, the next generation of a Depression-era migrant family “The Ox-Bow Incident” (1942) A potential lynch mob is at the hear t of director William A. Wellman’s famous Western, with Fonda as one of the men who wants to see true justice done in the case of a farmer’s possible killers.

“My Darling Clementine” (1946) Stories of the Old West continued to hold appeal for Fonda as he teamed yet again with director John Ford by playing Wyatt Earp, who becomes a lawman in his quest

to find those responsible for the death of one of his brothers.

“Fort Apache” (1948) John Ford called the shots for Fonda again – as well as for John Wayne, Shirley Temple and others – in this signature Western about opposition between the commanding of ficers at a militar y outpost.

“Mister Roberts” (1955) Fonda recreated his Broadway per formance in the title role as a Navy of ficer having his own war with his ship’s captain (James Cagney) while stationed in the South Pacific during World War II.
