ABC has been promoting Secrets and Lies as a “10-episode drama”. Presumably that means that the series won’t be cancelled before the storyline concludes but anything can happen if the ratings are bad enough. If it’s a hit, could there be a second season? We’ll have to wait and see how things go.
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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: ABC has renewed Secrets and Lies for a second season. Details here.
Final season averages: 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.66 million total viewers.

Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Secrets and Lies TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or continued for a second season somehow — with a new case or with the same characters?
Abby need to answer for what she did to Tom! She’s a sociopaths just saying!
I was looking forward to seeing the last show tonight. Could not find it. I was hoping that Ben would be cleared. I do not want to see season 2, without Ryan Phillippe, and Lewis.
They are both great actors. My husband and I are disappointed we did not see another show. I had to go on line to find that you cancelled the last show. What a bummer!

Enjoyed the show especially Ryan. Please bring it back with same chatacters. Need to know if A by will be convicted. Need a season finale and return season Please!!!!!
Please tell us the for season 2
I thought there was supposed to be another show tonight, I want to see Abby confess or what happens. Please tell me when the next show will air, I look forward to this every Sunday night!
What happened to tonights airing? I want to know when next show will air, I want to see a confession of Abby! With all same characters.
Please have season 2 of secrets and lies, I need to know what happens. It should have the same cast trying to get Abby to confess or be charged. It just won’t be the same with the story ending like this and with an all new cast.
Keep it going! My mother and I want season 2!!
I thought there was another show tonight, May 10th that would lead to the detective proving it was Abby. I really want this show to continue on with the same characters and more characters added when needed. I look forward to this show every Sunday night!!
Thank you!!
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE SEASON FINALE AND THEY JUST CANCEL IT?! AMERICA WANTS THE SAME CHARACTERS AND THE SAME CASE!!!! IF SEASON 2 is going to be the same as this and just end it HORRIBLY I DO NOT WANT TO WATCH IT! ITS A GREAT SHOW BUT THEY SHOULDNT JUST CANCEL IT!!!
Yes I want it to continue and I would like to see Ben cleared
Yes, bring back season 2 with it being about putting Abbey behind bars.
I will say, Phillipe is the main draw for me. Keep the storyline going as is!
I need to know what happens
Oh my gosh, I am addicted to this show now… Please make a second series!!
I certainly will watch another Secret and Lies season WITH the same characters. With just the cop, don’t think so..
Secrets and lies should be renewed for a second season and it should still stay on the same storyline.
Yes, please continue this show. You could continue it about the detective trying to put Abby away.

HOORAY
Are you kidding me? You showed previews of episode 10 and then you cancel it. I’m going crazy trying to find it on the guide every week. Why would you ever take the finale away from viewers hooked on the series. NOT FAIR. I’m sick of seeing the AD Bible continues in my TV Guide. PLEASE BRING IT BACK. Even if just for the series finale. Same characters. This is s bummer.
Episode 10 (the season finale) was on last Sunday.
