Detective Andrea Cornell (Juliette Lewis) will return to television to work on a new case next season. ABC has renewed their Secrets and Lies TV show for a second season.
On the first season of 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 season stars Lewis, Ryan Phillippe, Lewis, KaDee Strickland, Natalie Martinez, Dan Fogler, Indiana Evans, and Belle Shouse.
The series did pretty well in its first season, averaging a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.66 million viewers.
Some fans were upset by the way that the first season’s story ended but it’s looking doubtful that season two will bring any addition resolution. Word is that Lewis’ character will be the only one returning.
What do you think? Did you like the first season of Secrets and Lies? Will you watch the second? Do you want more resolution for the first season?
I am thrilled there will be a second season. However, I am bummed that Ryan Phillppe in the other cast members won’t be back. I’d like to see a resolution to season one. We knew going in this was only a short series but I think we’ve all become attached to the characters in season one. I will definitely miss them! Better get another good looking murder suspect comparable to Phillippe to appease those of us who are distraught about no longer seeing him on Sunday nights. Lol.
We will definitely be watching the 2nd season. Love Cornell. Can’t wait to see what happens next season. Thank you ABC
If this isn’t the highth of a network not giving a dam about their loyal public I just don’t know. It’s bad enough they took the story line from the same series that aired in Australia but change the story line just a little, and then to change the ending in such a flubbed up way that we come away more confused then ever is just not right. Then for the network to say to their viewers, ” you’ll take this as the ending and like it because we won’t spend one more penny to help you our loyal viewers… Read more »
Juliette Lewis has fascinated me for years, and here she plays a strong but troubled police detective, so am interested absolutely to see where this goes.
Glad it’s coming back. Finally, bringing back one of the good ones instead of cancelling like the other good shows. I would like closure to last season. Another mystery would be good, but I don’t like that only one of the original cast is returning. Keep some continuity!
I won’t watch if the whole cast doesn’t come back its what made the show.
Thank you saving agood show when ABC has cancelled so many shows already that they should not have.
I wrote a previous post regards to keeping the show…..However, with the new rumors that surfaced about Ben dying in prison & Cornell( Juliette Lewis) being the only original cast member returning……I don’t think i’m interested in a second season now. Ryan instagrammed saying goodbye to his character & other reports stating he only agreed to the one season. I know Hollywood plays games with the media to get our attention on certain things. I just hope on this account they are all just rumors because the show will be ruined without original cast members….(in my opinion)
Without the first year cast returning for season 2, I will not continue to watch the show. I have enjoyed getting to know the key characters; season 2 can’t possibly survive without them. Juliette Lewis is not the star of the show.
Would definitely watch again. Did see Gracepoint and bought Broadchurch DVD. Did not like end of first season (Seasons & Lies).
i will watch the new season but i’d like some resolution for the season that just ended.
W/O the original characters but Lewis……why ?
I loved it and I can’t wait for season two to come out.
I agree with you. I was very entertained and will be waiting for the next season to begin.
Awesome news, can’t wait for season two and see what the next mystery will be.
i will definitely watch it again. Cornell was my favorite character. Strong enough to keep the feel of it going. it had it’s own feel (the show) which was different from common feelings of most shows. it reminded me of Gracepoint somewhat.
I agree. I will watch it again and it is like Gracepoint and Broadchurch. All are stories (wrapped in a pretty good Who Dit It?) about the extended, and sometimes unintended, effects on people caused by a murder investigation. Other Who Did Its seldom give much attention to that part of the story or even to how it affects the community in general.
