Tomorrow night marks the season conclusion of Secrets and Lies and hopefully we’ll finally learn the truth — who’s responsible for the death of young Tom Murphy? After that, the biggest question on the minds of fans of this show may be, “Is Secrets and Lies going to be renewed for a second season or will it be cancelled by ABC?”
On Secrets and Lies, a house painter and family man discovers a neighbor boy’s dead body in the woods and he quickly goes from being a Good Samaritan to a murder suspect. The lives of everyone around him are turned upside down by the ensuing police investigation and media attention. Did he really do it? The series stars Ryan Phillippe, Juliette Lewis, KaDee Strickland, Natalie Martinez, Dan Fogler, Indiana Evans, and Belle Shouse.
Debuting in March, the first two episodes of Secrets and Lies attracted a 1.53 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.06 million viewers. It wasn’t a great start but ABC’s been struggling to fill out its Sunday night schedule so it wasn’t bad by comparison. The numbers dipped only slightly in week two — a good sign. Most shows drop at least 15%. The numbers dipped lower over the next few weeks but then started to rise ever so slightly. Last week’s episode hit a series high in the all-important demo with a 1.7 rating and 5.83 million.
While the show’s ratings haven’t been great, the network has plenty of other trouble spots to fill — especially now that they’ve cancelled Revenge — and Secrets and Lies has performed well enough to be invited back for another 10 weeks. I suspect ABC will renew Secrets and Lies for a second season — likely with new characters and a new storyline (ala Fargo or True Detective).
But, what do you think? Do you like the Secrets and Lies TV show on ABC? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? If it is renewed, do you think any of the characters should return or should they start fresh?
It can’t end like that. Continue on with series. One that kept me watching.
KEEP KEEP KEEP ! great show !
This show is even better than “How to Get Away with Murder”. I would rate it #1 now in my TV must see shows. I am an avid mystery reader/watcher, reading an average of 2-3 mysteries per week. This has kept me guessing and that is a good thing. Please do not cancel this show. It is perfect for Sunday night or any night for that matter. For your demographics, I am a 64-year old Caucasian female in Rocky Mount, NC.
Keep a Secrets & Lies alive! Love the show!
Keep the show! I loved it! I couldn’t wait you watch it every week. There Is so much that could be done with it.
Love it! Please keep!!
Keep it!!! It was awesome!
Hey ABC – keep Secrets and Lies! We love this show! It’s been in a lot of conversations the past 2 months! And, keep the same people. Changing the characters makes the show seem fake… and Ryan is so easy to look at!
Would love to see another season with the same characters! It wouldn’t be the same without them. You just can’t leave us not knowing how the show actually ends! Secrets and Lies has to come back.
Secret and lies is my favorite show. Please keep this on air and make a second season.
Really like this drama. Bring I back
Love it, cant wait for it to come back on.
Please keep the show. Keeps your attention. Just love it. Keep it on.

Love, love, love this show! I am hoping that ABC will renew for another season. Must keep Cornell and a new story line.
