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?
My wife and I looked soooo forward to Sunday evenings just to watch this show.
Great SHOW- Love it.
It is easy to get attached to the characters and storyline of a show and not want to see it change. But just where was this supposed to go for another season? Ben is in prison or dead from the extra scene). The entire season revolved around the effects of his inept investigating and it’s horrible results on people who had nothing to do with the murder. What I took from season one is that crime and investigating a crime is a dirty uncertain business affecting a lot of innocent people. If you want to see crime as bad guy… Read more »
Loved the first season, but not crazy about the finale. I loved home repairman, his best friend and his family. Juliette Lewis’s cop was awesome. She ought to get an EMMY for her performance. But the show wasn’t really about her. It was about the home repairman and his family. Can’t see her in the picture anymore, if there is another season. The next season would have to be mainly about the home repairman (now in jail) and his what happens with his daughter (on the lam I suspect) who killed her younger brother.
Loved the first season and
I for one am very pleased with the ending. I think it would have detracted from the very powerful & shocking ending if they had wrapped it up all neat and tidy. It is much more unsettling to leave the audience to wonder if a child serial killer got away with murder and might grow up to do it again than to catch her and lock her up. I think the writers left the audience with exactly the feelings/impact they intended too. I am very glad they have Juliette Lewis returning as Detective Cornell, as I loved her character. She… Read more »
I will watch S2. So disappointed with ending for S1 though. Ben deserved better. When wife realized in the car that ‘child-of-the-corn’ did it on purpose, she should have taken her straight to Cordell. If their goal was to leave us disturbed and with unresolved issues, they won (lol).
I thought that another crime would be commited And Cornell will try to connect it to Ben’s youngest daughter. Cornell knows she killed Tom, and she goes vehemently after her to finally bring her to justice that way the second season would bring closure to the first season.
Secrets and lies should be renewed for a second season but I definitely don’t think the detective should go on to another case. I would rather have a resolution to the first case with Abby.
Don’t like the way it ended need some closure from season to season. Would watch again
if it comes back.
what a terrible ending.
Does Natalie, or the mom tell the truth, or his “best friend”.
what gives….at the start of season 2, this should be resolved.
very disappointing ending…will the next one end like this???
sohap love he show
Will watch. I have to say the ending was disturbing on first season. Parents covering up a murderer is so disacerning. Would love closer
Yes, we were all displeased with how this show ended!! We want closure. this great Father went to jail for his youngest daughter’s sins. We want more. I do not know if the series will survive with other stories and short tales and no closure. Juliet Lewis is wonderful as an actress, but this whole cast and crew ensemble is what made this first season great and another show next season will just be taken not as seriously. Fans will not watch if it goes to another case. The premise was great and if it had ended with the daughter… Read more »
I was so disappointed with the ending. When I realized Ben had died I was even more disappointed. I enjoyed the show but if it comes back and doesn’t finish the storyline of the original characters then I won’t keep watching. I don’t like it when stories don’t end. I don’t like being left with so many questions.
