ABC has a history of airing docuseries that are cancelled after just one season. Will the new Betrayal: Secrets & Lies series be just another one-and-done show or, because an alternate version has been airing for three seasons on Hulu, will it get a second season? Stay tuned.
A docuseries, the Betrayal: Secrets & Lies TV show is based on the popular true crime podcast. Episodes follow the lives of people who are undone by unthinkable betrayals, as well as the courage it takes to survive scandalous confessions, secret lives, terrifying acts of violence, financial ruin, and more. When loyalty turns to lies, the truth does more than break hearts — it changes everything.
