Spencer will reprise her role as Poppy Parnell for season two, which will unfold around a new case. The first season of “Truth Be Told” follows podcaster Poppy Parnell as she is compelled to reopen the murder case that made her a national sensation, and comes face-to-face with the man she may have mistakenly helped to put behind bars. The series provides a glimpse into America’s obsession with true crime podcasts and challenges its viewers to consider the consequences when the pursuit of justice is placed on a public stage.
“Truth Be Told” is executive produced by Octavia Spencer, alongside writer and executive producer Nichelle Tramble Spellman, Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for Hello Sunshine, Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping for Chernin Entertainment, and Mikkel Norgaard.
The complete first season of “Truth Be Told” is now available to stream, exclusively on Apple TV+. It koins recently renewed Apple Originals set for a second season, including the upcoming drama series “Home Before Dark,” and critically acclaimed series “Little America,” “Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet,” “Dickinson,” “See,” “Servant” and “For All Mankind.”
