What happens in The Rainmaker trailer?

The video introduces Dune: Prophecy’s Milo Callaghan as Rudy Baylor, who gets fired from his first law firm after he is unable to control his emotions. Because of this, he finds himself working at an unconventional law firm that represents normal people against powerful figures. In the 1997 adaptation, the main character was portrayed by Oscar winner Matt Damon.

The Rainmaker is written and executive produced by showrunner Michael Seitzman, based on the best-selling novel by John Grisham. The cast also includes John Slattery, P.J. Byrne, Dan Fogler, Wade Briggs, and Robyn Cara. It is executive produced by Michael Seitzman, Jason Richman, John Grisham, David Gernert, and Jason Blum.

“The Rainmaker began as John Grisham’s fastest-selling novel, then became a feature film, and now, it’s a TV series,” Seitzman said in a statement. “What is it about this story that keeps drawing people in? Maybe it’s the David-and-Goliath legal thriller, the dangerous romance or the coming-of-age story. For me, above all, it’s the characters. They jumped off the page in John’s book and were a joy to expand upon in our show. Not to mention, Milo Callaghan, who plays Rudy Baylor, is your next crush.”
