Zach Zuberbuehler Set to Star as James in Peacocks Emmy Nominated Show “Justice
Peacock’s hit legal drama Justice is adding a compelling new storyline this season with the introduction of rising actor Zach Zuberbuehler, who joins the cast as **James Stewart**, a successful gym owner facing a high-stakes negligence lawsuit.
Known for its intense courtroom battles and morally complex cases, *Justice* continues to explore the gray areas of law and accountability. This season, Zuberbuehler’s character brings a fresh perspective to the series, centering on the legal and personal fallout of a serious incident at his fitness facility.
James Stewart is portrayed as a driven entrepreneur who built his gym empire from the ground up. However, when a tragic accident occurs on the premises, Stewart finds himself at the center of a lawsuit that questions safety standards, responsibility, and the true cost of ambition. As the case unfolds, the courtroom drama exposes not only the legal implications, but also the personal toll of being under public and legal scrutiny.
“James Stewart is a complex character,” a source close to the production shared. “He’s confident, hardworking, and proud of what he’s built — but when everything is put on the line, we see cracks in the armor. Zach brings a grounded intensity that makes the role feel real and relatable.”
For Zuberbuehler, the role marks an important step in his acting career, allowing him to showcase emotional depth beyond the typical courtroom roles seen on the series. His performance is expected to highlight the pressures faced by business owners when success collides with legal responsibility.
The upcoming season of *Justice* will dive into issues of corporate liability, personal accountability, and the consequences of cutting corners in high-risk industries. With James Stewart’s case taking center stage, viewers can expect gripping testimony, tense cross-examinations, and unexpected twists.
Peacock has yet to announce an official premiere date, but production is currently underway.
