Truth Be Told
The latest series to add to the upcoming Apple TV+’s growing streaming slate is the limited series “Truth Be Told.” Premiering on Friday, December 6, the series stars Octavia Spencer as a true-crime podcaster opposite Aaron Paul as a convicted murderer. The series is created by Nichelle Tramble Spellman, a producer and writer on “The Good Wife,” and also stars Lizzy Caplan, Elizabeth Perkins, Michael Beach, Mekhi Phifer, Tracie Thoms, Haneefah Wood, and Ron Cephas Jones.
In the first trailer, below, all of the actors appear to be having fun with this lurid tale of a possibly wrongful imprisonment, and the many aftershocks thereafter. Here’s the synopsis from Apple TV+: “When new evidence compels podcaster Poppy Parnell (Spencer) to reopen the murder case that made her a national sensation, she comes face to face with Warren Cave (Paul), the man she may have mistakenly helped to put behind bars. Her investigation navigates urgent concerns about privacy, media and race.
