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?
Keep this show !!!! I have been watching this ever since day one and I love all the characters and the people that are playing them. So please keep this show for a second season, this really makes the beginning of my week fantastic by watching this show on Sunday evenings.
Please keep this show it keeps you guessing and wanting the week to get by to see the next episode. I hope it wasn’t Abby that did it but in the English show by the same name it was the daughter that did it.
I think Secrets and Lies should be renewed for sure. There’s no doubt. I haven’t seen a show this exciting from start to finish since I honestly can’t remember the last show. The writing is off the charts amazing!!! This cast is well that speaks for its self. No one should have to write in any network to keep Juliette Lewis and Ryan Philippie on! Please do not cancel. Please renew for second season!
Yeeeeessssss…keep it..I’m hooked…LOVE IT!!!!!
I love secrets and Lies. I really hope it returns. The suspense is killing me about the killer lol
I think the Secrets and Lies should be renewed for season two. I have been watching the show from day one. I enjoy it very much. I can hardly wait to see how season one ends On May 3, 2015 sunday.
Please make a season 2 this is the best tv mini mystery, it keeps you thinking all the time .
Please please keep the show!!!!!! I agree with renata. Even though the ratings weren’t there and were up and down, I know soooooo many people who have tuned in and LOVE it!!!!! Keep the same characters. You can’t change the characters, they are what makes the show as well!!!!!

We enjoy the show we become invested In these shows n then someone pulls it I think u need to let it take form let it breathe we enjoy the show becouse it seems that the likely person is not the killer I think with a title secrets and lies there r a lot of story lines can be developed worthy to have a second season You r the plug puller and we r the public who just keep been used I do not know if this already done but why isn’t a show test run before it is put… Read more »
I have been so intrigued by the series “Secrets and Lies” that I have gone back repeatedly to watch reruns of the various episodes, fearing that I had missed some slight detail in the story line. This is one of the best series I’ve seen on ABC in a long long time, and one I hope they do not cancel. It works well for me that the show is scheduled on Sunday evenings since there is not much else in my viewing interest to draw me elsewhere. I would be profoundly disappointed if ABC were to cancel or failed to… Read more »
