Jan 5, 2023
Back in 2019, Apple TV+ jumped on the true crime craze with “Truth Be Told,” which stars Octavia Spencer as a podcaster out to prove a convicted murderer’s innocence. Critics didn’t like the series, but the show garnered enough views for another season in 2021. Now, “Truth Be Told” returns for Season 3, with Spencer on another grisly case.

Based on Kathleen Barber‘s novel of the same name, itself inspired by the hit podcast “Serial,” “Truth Be Told” centers on Spencer’s Poppy Parnell, a journalist who runs a successful true-crime podcast. In the new season, Poppy teams up with Gabrielle Union‘s local school principal to chase down leads about the disappearance of several young girls. Is a sex trafficking ring behind the missing girls?
