Truth Be Told generally focuses on murder cases across America, presenting pieces of evidence alongside ongoing investigations.
In the first season, Poppy Parnell, played by Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer, a San Francisco journalist, begins a true-crime podcast supporting professor Chuck Buhrman’s murder in 1999. In season two, Poppy concentrates on a photographer-filmmaker’s murder.
The upcoming season will see Poppy Parnell saddened by the lack of attention by the media and authorities concerning the various cases of missing Black girls across America.
The journalist teams up with a Union to present the victims’ names to the public to find them justice. A sex trafficking ring will also come into the picture as part of the suspects.
