Filming has begun on the second series of UK drama Liar. Who killed Andrew Earlham?
The six-part thriller, written by Harry and Jack Williams, picks up three weeks after an arrest warrant was issued for Andrew Earlham for the sexual assault of 19 women. When Andrew’s body is found in the Kent marshes, Detective Renton alongside DS Rory Maxwell are tasked with uncovering clues about Andrew’s past and unpacking the events of the three crucial weeks leading up to his murder.
Joining Joanne Froggatt and Ioan Gruffudd for this final chapter are a number of new characters including Katherine Kelly (Cheat, Mr Selfridge, The Night Manager) as DI Karen Renton, Howard Charles (The Widow, Musketeers) as Carl Peterson and Amy Nuttall (Downton Abbey) as Winnie Peterson.
Harry & Jack Williams said, “It has been a joy returning to Liar and our reunion with Joanne and Ioan. Equally we are thrilled to have Katherine Kelly on board as DI Renton after her stellar performance in Cheat.”
Liar screens in Australia on Seven.

What just started filming season 2? This finished back in 2017 and have been waiting for it to return. Get on with it.
I was wondering what was happening with this thanks for the update David.
Gee they take their bloody time in the UK. It’s been about 2 years since season 1 aired. Hopefully they will repeat season 1 again as a lot of people won’t remember what happened.
That’s what happens when you have 2 rather in demand actors. IIRC S2 was always slated but delayed for Ioan’s virtually back-to-back filming of 2 series of Harrow, which is no longer in post-production. I haven’t heard anything official yet, but it will return to the Friday night slot after Killing Eve.
Incorrect, see Calendar.
Always delighted to be proved wrong by Australian drama. Glad it’s back sooner than I had been told (I had been told “May” so my source wasn’t incorrect either. I assumed it would return to the same slot). As I said, I hadn’t heard anything official. — Yes David you’re included in my definition of “official”
