Season overview

In the second season of the legal drama Goliath, Billy McBride returns to active legal practice to represent a sixteen-year-old boy who has been accused of committing a grisly double homicide. Alongside Patty and their legal team, Billy navigates the seedy underworld of Los Angeles to investigate the circumstances of the crime and establish the boy's innocence. The defense effort requires them to confront a complex network of antagonists, including a corrupt police officer, a ruthless drug lord, and a prosecutor. As the investigation progresses, the case expands beyond the initial murder charges to reveal a broader conspiracy. The evidence uncovered by Billy and his team suggests that the true culprits are connected to high-stakes political and financial interests, with implications that reach as far as the city's mayoral race and the operations of a preeminent billionaire developer. The season follows the team as they fervently build their case while facing these powerful adversaries, ultimately seeking to expose the truth behind the accusations and the corruption underlying the city's power structures.
