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?
I love this sho
I don’t watch much but I really liked this. please bring it back with the same character s.
love it. bring it back!
Love the show, hope it is renewed and the investigation moves on to Abby. Maybe move out five years to where she has continual troubles.
Love this show, I hope you don’t take it off the air.
Love the show start with the same people but at least end it getting Ben’s daughter help then go on to another story, don’t take it off. I am sad that revenge isn’t being renewed love that show also.
Love the show!!! Please bring it back! Thanks.
This show has my wife and I hooked. This show must come back next season.
They need to renew another season and pick up where they left off. The Cornell confidential showed Cornell talking to Natalie about Abby paying for what she did and Natalie said she would testify. They should keep the cast and maybe bring in a few new ones. Once this story line is completed and justice served they could move onto a new case with updates about the Crawford family and what’s going on with them and Jess. I LOVE THIS SHOW. They need more than 10 episodes. My family and I were hooked from episode 1. Please bring it back… Read more »
