Renewed: Truth Be Told

Apple TV+ drama Truth Be Told starring Octavia Spencer, was renewed for a second season earlier this month.

Season 2 will see Spencer reprise her role as Poppy Parnell, a podcaster who reopened the murder case that made her a national sensation and was forced to come face-to-face with the man she may have mistakenly helped to put behind bars. The events of the new season will unfold around a new case.

Showrunner and creator Nichelle Tramble Spellman said, “Working with Octavia Spencer has been a dream come true for me.

“I am honored to continue to build the character of Poppy Parnell with her, and my partners at Hello Sunshine and Chernin Entertainment. Apple continues to show their tremendous support for us and the show. I am thrilled to dive back into exploring our national obsession with true crime and how it plays out with our rich canvas of compelling characters.”

“I cannot wait to work with the talented Nichelle, as well as our partners at Apple, Hello Sunshine, Chernin Entertainment Endeavor Content, and the entire ‘Truth Be Told’ family to continue expanding these characters and this world,” added Spencer.

“There is so much more to explore and we are truly excited to begin creating new episodes, storylines and characters.”

Executive Producer Reese Witherspoon added, “I’m thrilled to be making another season of ‘Truth Be Told’ with Apple, our incredibly creative group of producers and the infinitely talented Octavia Spencer.

“I can’t wait to see how Poppy Parnell’s next chapter unfolds.”
