It follows the lives and careers of a team of FBI recruits while focusing on the transformation of the U.S. criminal justice system as it is altered by the growing use of artificial intelligence to predict future crimes.
On June 22, 2021, it was reported that FX on Hulu had given the production an eight-episode order. The limited series is created by Tom Rob Smith who also expected to executive produce alongside Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, with Nellie Reed serving as a producer. FX Productions and Color Force are the production companies involved with producing the series. Upon the limited series order announcement, Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara were also cast to star.
On August 13, 2021, it was announced that Sunu Gonera was set to direct the pilot. On November 10, 2021, Raúl Castillo, Jake McDorman, Sepideh Moafi, Brian J. Smith, Jon Jon Briones, Brooke Smith, and Rosalind Eleazar joined the main cast. On March 1, 2022, Steven Canals announced that he was to direct two episodes of the series.
Class of '09 premiered on FX on Hulu in the United States on May 10, 2023, with the first two episodes available immediately, and the rest debuting on a weekly basis. It later debuted on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in other territories.
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 58% approval rating with an average rating of 6.3/10, based on 33 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Class of '09 hardly flunks out thanks to an impressive cast and intriguing structure, but anemic execution keeps this series far from being valedictorian." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 63 out of 100 based on 20 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
Sage Ashford and Alexander Vance of Comic Book Resources described Class of '09 as intriguing and constructive across its story, writing, "With insightful themes and splendid acting from the cast, Class of '09 is an appealing examination of the use of AI in the criminal justice system." Erick Massoto of Collider complimented how the show utilizes its three distinct time periods and praised the performances of the cast, saying, "Class of '09 plays out like a show that makes great use of the time that it is given. It provides the rare feeling that it is exploring every possibility inside its own narrative and is able to excel in everything it tries to do."
Brian Tyree Henry was nominated for Outstanding Lead Performance in a TV Movie/Limited Seriesat the 2024 Black Reel Awards for Television. He was also nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Television Movie, Limited Series or Dramatic Special at the 2024 NAACP Image Awards.
