Secrets and Lies has returned for a second season with a new case so Ryan Phillippe and his TV family are gone. The ABC series debuted late last season when there was a bit less competition. Now it’s launching in the fall, without most of the previous season’s characters. Will the ratings go up or down? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
In season two of Secrets and Lies, Detective Andrea Cornell (Juliette Lewis) is investigating a new murder case. Smart and educated, Eric Warner (Michael Ealy) is attending a party to honor his dad as he passes over the reins of the family company. Tragedy strikes when Eric’s wife, Kate (Jordana Brewster), is found dead. Life, as he knows it, is over. Cornell immediately puts the grieving husband in her crosshairs. As Eric battles to prove his innocence and save the family’s company, he discovers that his beloved Kate and the rest of his family are not who they appeared to be. The rest of the cast includes Mekia Cox, Charlie Barnett, Kenny Johnson, Terry O’Quinn, and AnnaLynne McCord.

Please make more series just got so into it here in the uk love it
Please renew.
Please make a Season 3 and 4 etc., I’ve got hooked on watching Det. Cornell and the complicated lives they all seem to have. Very clever production.
Secrets and Lies, another program is biting the dust. This is why I have cable, so I can watch shows that don’t disappear like ABC, CBS, and FOX do, with a demo. group of 18-49. Don’t you ever consider that Senior Citizens might be watching TV. I mean, lets face it, we’re older people. We like watching TV.
I have just start watching this series today somewhere in season two and I must say that I am impressed with the writers. However I do not see this series making it to season three. All the main characters are in jail, dead or in hiding. IF there is a season three, better much come.
the two seasons were different stories… the third season would have had the same detective… just another crime to solve
Please bring it back!!! I love this show! I want it renewed for season 3!! There’s so many twists & turns in this show with secrets after secrets that it becomes so intriguing to watch. It’s addicting! I miss it!! It would be so cruel to leave all us fans of Secrets and Lies hanging on a cliff with the ending of season 2. So please renew season 3!!!!!!
This is a great series, please bring it back! I look forward to this each week and hate when it ends.
We need a Season 3 of Secrets and Lies….. What great storylines the writers have given us in the first 2 seasons. Juliette Lewis is wonderful as Cornell and the twists and secrets and lies that come out each episode just has us wanting more and more each week.
I honestly don’t know which season I liked better. They both were sooo good! This show is amazing. There needs to be a series!!!
Please bring back secrets and lies and also blood and oil. I’m not sure who actually gave those shows bad ratings but obviously they do not like drama series. I actually liked Sunday night television when those shows aired!!
I couldn’t agree more
You need to renew secrets and lies . It is one of the best shows on tv.
