The Rainmaker Season 1

The new adaptation of John Grisham’s novel brings to life the story of young lawyer Rudy Baylor (Milo Callahan), a man who survived a troubled childhood and family tragedy to graduate law school with honors. Ready to begin his career at Charleston’s most prestigious law firm, Tinley Britt, Rudy seems destined for success alongside his brilliant and wealthy girlfriend Sarah (Madison Iseman).

However, Rudy’s dreams quickly unravel on his very first day when he clashes with senior partner Leo Drummond (John Slattery) and is immediately fired. Stranded between hiring cycles, Rudy ends up at the barely renovated “Taco Hut,” which doubles as the shady office of Bruiser Stone (Lana Parrilla), an unscrupulous lawyer who offers him a chance to work in the contingency department. There, Rudy teams up with Deck Shifflet (P.J. Byrne), a comical “paralawyer” who graduated law school but failed the bar exam seven times.

With his new firm, Rudy takes on two cases from a free legal aid event: an overlooked inheritance client, and Dot Black (Karen Bryson), a grieving mother whose son tragically died after being hospitalized with the flu. These cases set Rudy on a life-changing path that tests his integrity, resilience, and moral compass.
