Emmy-winning casting director Meredith Tucker could have had the “Defending Jacob” novel for reference in casting the Apple TV+ limited series adaptation of the same name but she did not use it. While the series shares the same story as the novel, about a Massachusetts assistant district attorney named Andy (Chris Evans) whose 14-year-old son, Jacob (Jaeden Martell) is accused of murdering a classmate, she soon realized that there would be many changes to the identity of the characters. “I avoided reading it just because there was going to be some changes to the story and I didn’t want to have that in my mind and already establish feelings towards characters,” Tucker says of the “Defending Jacob” novel. “I wanted to use the script much more as my jumping off point as opposed to the book.” Watch Tucker’s full interview with Gold Derby above.
