‘Secrets And Lies’ Renewed For Season 2, Big Cast Changes Ahead


There’s good news out for Secrets and Lies fans: ABC has renewed the show for Season 2. Everybody was left buzzing after Sunday night’s finale, and luckily, the network didn’t wait too long to reveal the good news. However, the renewal does come with some significant changes.

TVLine shared the news about the Secrets and Lies renewal. ABC revealed good news on Thursday for a number of shows, with Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, Modern Family, The Bachelor, Dancing With the Stars, How to Get Away With Murder, Nashville, and Castle all getting renewal orders, too. Quite a few other ABC shows were renewed as well, but it wasn’t good news for everybody.

The network just handed out some cancellations as well, with The Taste, Forever, and Cristela, along with a couple of other shows, getting the axe. News regarding Last Man Standing has yet to be revealed.

For the most part, though, there was very little carnage at ABC compared to the cancellations dealt out at other networks. Of course, as fans already know, Revenge has been canceled, as well. The Revenge series finale for that show airs on Sunday, May 10.

So, what can fans expect from Season 2 of Secrets and Lies? Fans got some stunning news in the final Cornell Confidential that was posted online after the Season 1 finale. The show definitely put the pieces into place to explain the absence of Ryan Phillippe’s character, Ben Crawford, when the show returns. However, many fans aren’t ready to accept the news of his demise yet.

As Deadline confirms, Season 2 of Secrets and Lies will have an entirely new cast, other than bringing Juliette Lewis back as Detective Cornell. She’ll be working on a new case, though fans hope there is some room for final pieces of the Crawford case to be tied up. At this point, however, it doesn’t sound as if fans should necessarily bank on that happening.

Who will join Lewis for the next adventure on the show? There’s no word on that front yet, and fans will be very curious to see who comes on board. Though it was seemingly always the plan for Phillippe and the others to depart after the initial 10-episode run, that doesn’t mean fans are entirely happy about it.

Stay tuned for Secrets and Lies spoilers for Season 2 as the show moves forward in building the next case for Detective Cornell. Will you be tuning in despite the heavy shifts in the cast?
