Written by Randy C on November 25, 2019
Apple today shared a
“first look featurette” of upcoming Apple
TV+ show “Truth Be Told,” which stars Octavia Spencer
and Aaron Paul.
The show focuses on podcaster Poppy Parnell (Spencer) who is
trying to reopen a murder case that she was involved in solving 18 years
earlier, which put Warren Cave (Paul) behind bars.
When new evidence compels podcaster Poppy Parnell (Octavia Spencer) to reopen the murder case that made her a national sensation, she comes face to face with Warren Cave (Aaron Paul), the man she may have mistakenly helped to put behind bars. Her investigation navigates urgent concerns about privacy, media and race.
“Truth Be Told” is
based on the novel by Kathleen Barber, and it’s said to provide a glimpse into
America’s obsession with true crime podcasts. The show aims to challenge its
viewers to consider the consequences when the pursuit of justice plays out on a
public stage.
Sarah Koenig, who created and produced
“Serial,” a podcast similar to the storyline in “Truth Be
Told,” consulted on the series. Other stars in “Truth Be Told”
include Lizzy Caplan (“Masters of Sex”), Ron Cephas Jones (“This
Is Us”), Mekhi Phifer (“ER”), and Elizabeth Perkins
(“Big”).
“Truth Be Told” is set to debut on
Friday, December 6 on Apple TV+. It will join existing shows that include “The Morning
Show,” “For All Mankind,” “Dickinson,” and
“See.”
