It's a topic that comes up repeatedly in e-mails.
After season one completed in the spring of 2015, the show was given a season two renewal and was supposed to return this year as a mid-season replacement.
But that did not happen.
However, now ABC has announced the show will return this fall:
It's official! "Secrets and Lies" season 2 is premiereing SUNDAYS 9|8c this fall on ABC. In season 2, Kate Warner fell to her death from a 12-story building, but this was no accident, all evidence points to this being a homicide. Detective Andrea Cornell is brought in to root out the real killer. Her prime suspect is Kate's husband, Eric Warner. Join Detective Cornell as she digs up secrets, exposes lies, and brings to light the truth of this tragic and senseless death.

Detective Cornell is the top Homicide Detective for the Charlotte Mecklenberg County Police Department. Her commitment to justice is unparalleled, so it's no wonder she has the highest close rate in her department. When 5-year-old Tom Murphy is murdered, Cornell embarks upon an unrelenting pursuit of the offender, who she believes, from early on, is Ben. Her unwavering dedication to her job makes her the most formidable opponent - or a highly valuable ally.
