Kate Hudson Joins Octavia Spencer for ‘Truth Be Told’ Season 2

Kate Hudson will star opposite Octavia Spencer on Season 2 of the Apple TV+ series “Truth Be Told,” the streaming service said Friday.

The second season of the drama series, which was renewed in March, will see Spencer reprise her role as Poppy Parnell, a podcaster who reopened the murder case that made her a national sensation and was forced to come face-to-face with the man she may have mistakenly helped to put behind bars (played by Aaron Paul). The events of the new season will unfold around a new case.

For Season 2, which is set to begin production in Los Angeles Oct. 26, Hudson will play Micah Keith, “a lifestyle guru and longtime friend of Poppy Parnell (Spencer), as a new case that deeply involves both women unfolds and quickly puts their relationship to the ultimate test,” per Apple.
