'The Rainmaker' Trailer Reimagines John Grisham Novel

  • USA Network will premiere The Rainmaker, a legal drama based on John Grisham's novel, on August 15 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
  • The series originated from Grisham's fastest-selling novel, which was adapted into a 1997 film and developed for TV after a six-year effort by showrunner Michael Seitzman.
  • The story follows Rudy Baylor, a recent law school graduate played by Milo Callaghan, who is fired on his first day by Leo Drummond, then hired by Bruiser to investigate two connected conspiracies.
  • Rudy says, "I've always wanted to be a lawyer" but loses his job because he won't back down, while Sarah, his girlfriend and former colleague, warns, "You need to drop this case."
  • The Rainmaker's plot and complex characters suggest a mix of a David-and-Goliath legal thriller, dangerous romance, and coming-of-age narrative that draws viewers into its unfolding conflicts.
