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 think it should return with the same characterzd
I hate Revenge
LOVE LOVE LOVE Secrets and Lies!!!!!!
keep the show love it m
There are not too many good and suspenseful shows on TV, so please bring back Secrets and Lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would like to see the TV show continue with the family getting back to a family and healing from all of the damage! It was nice to see Cornell be a bit of a nice person!
Love this show.Gripping story line, great actors with edge-of – seat suspense. Keep going with storyline, then expand with more cases for Cornell. PLEASE RENEW.
Love the show the cast let it run
I thought this show was really good! I think the only reason it didn’t do better, was because of the day & time slot. Everybody is usually trying to go to bed to get ready for the work week at 10pm on a Sunday night. I think they should try it on another day & time & the ratings will shoot through the roof. I so hope it won’t be canceled. They already canceled one of my top favorites, Revenge. I have other shows that were canceled too. I’m not going to have anything left to watch!
Please bring Secrets and Lies back. It is the best show on TV.. I love it. I would like to see the same family come back. Ryan Phillipe is awesome. Great show
Totally agree, bring Secrets and Lies back.
Ryan Phillipe is the best!!!!!!!!111
This is a keeper!
I think it was a really good show. Suspenseful, good plot! I couldn’t wait wait for the next episode to air. Sure hope it is renewed. They always seem to cancel the good ones and put on a reality show .
Please come back for a second season and I hope it stays with the same characters!
Great, great show!!! Love the suspense and how it keeps you on your toes. Love all the characters and the actors/actresses who portray them. So yes, please please keep this show on air and keep the same characters. I can see the storyline moving in several angels with un-expected twists.
KEEP IT GOING!!! Saw Australian version first and loved it, this one is better!
Please bring it back for another season! With the same mani characters and can add some new ones.
I absolutely love this show! Please bring it back! I would love to see Ben’s daughter held accountable! You can do a who season on this bad seed!
