Hudson’s involvement in the second season ofTruth Be Told,a series fromReese Witherspoon’s production company Hello Sunshine, was first announced in October 2020. She will play Micah Keith, a lifestyle guru and friend of Spencer’s character, Poppy Parnell.
The first season followed podcaster Poppy as she launched a reinvestigation of a murder case that she reported on nearly two decades earlier. Season 2, which does not yet have a premiere date, will highlight a new case that involves both Poppy and Micah.

“It’s basically a glimpse into America’s obsession with crime podcasts. It challenges the viewers to consider the consequences when justice or the pursuit of justice is on a public stage,” Spencer, who also serves as an executive producer, toldEntertainment Weeklyof the series ahead of season 1 in November 2019.
“[I love]Serial. I remember thinking, wow, this is based on someone’s life [and] realizing that I was so engrossed with the story itself, but that it actually happened to real people,” she continued. “[It was great] to be a part of a story that not only challenges the viewers in that way, but also what journalism means, and how anyone basically with an interest in a particular subject can basically start a narrative and a podcast.”
In addition to Hudson and Spencer, the season 2 cast ofTruth Be Toldincludes Cranston Johnson, Hale Appleman, Anthony Lee Medina, Merle Dandridge, Jason O’Mara, Alona Tal, David Lyons, Christopher Backus and Mychala Lee, according toDeadline.
