What’s This TV Show About?
An action series airing on the CBS television network, the True Lies TV show stars Ginger Gonzaga, Steve Howey, Erica Hernandez, Omar Miller, Mike O’Gorman, Annabella Didion, and Lucas Jaye. The story follows Harry Tasker (Howey), a bland and unremarkable computer consultant husband who is secretly a first-class international spy for the US’s Omega Sector. His wife, Helen (Gonzaga) is a language professor bored with her daily routine. One day, she makes the shocking discovery that her seemingly ordinary husband is leading an extraordinary double life. With the secret out, his agency recruits her and she impresses everyone with her formidable skills (thanks partly to Tae Bo and yoga). Working together with Harry’s team, the couple adds much-needed sizzle to their emotionally distant marriage and upends the top-secret world of Omega Sector.
Season One Ratings
The first season of True Lies averages a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.48 million viewers. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how True Lies stacks up against other CBS TV shows.
True Lies has been cancelled, so there will not be a second season. Could the show return someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew True Lies for season two? This show feels like a good fit for the network but is produced by an outside studio. I think it will definitely have to earn its keep and get solid ratings to be renewed. I want to wait and see but right now, I think it has a good shot.

What do you think? Were you hoping the True Lies TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you disappointed that CBS cancelled this TV series instead?
Not happy. It has potential.
This is one of the very few network shows that my husband and I watch. It has it all! Romance, comedy, adventure, suspense. Let’s hope CBS realizes what a treasure this show is and decides to renew it after all.
I enjoy the show I want it to continue
True lies was a fun show what’s wrong with CBS it’s no wonder we are all streaming
I can’t believe True Lies is being cancelled! This is a great show unlike all the other typical who-done-it crime shows (yawn!). Please keep this going – our entire household enjoys it!
True lies is a wonderful show and should definitely be renewed. If not by the current network, another network should pick it up. Excellent show.
Good news “True Lies” cancelled. I had stopped recording it just before reading latest. The wife character seemed like a passive aggressive housewife, just too critical/whiny, not on “hero” level of other spy characters. I found myself wanting the husband to tell her “shut up”. Good call.
yessssss! same. She is so annoying!
I would love True Lies to be renewed! Love the cast and love the stories! It has action, it has levity, and it is simply an enjoyable TV show!
Bring true lies back enough
The wife is still too annoying and a bad fit.
Absolutely great show. Edge of your seat great.
i like it, it’s a cute feel-good show
Nothing like the movie which i am waiting for a 4K release anytime. I would not be strange if CBS cancel it.
The show is fantastic renewal please
Give over!
We loved it. New twist to a spy show. Hope someone else picks it up. It is GREAT!!
