Apple has released the trailer to their new true-crime drama "Truth Be Told" to the Apple TV+ YouTube channel.




"Truth Be Told" is a true-crime drama that stars Octavia Spencer ("The Help", "The Shape of Water") and Aaron Paul ("Breaking Bad", "BoJack Horseman"). The show is based on the original novel "Are You Sleeping" by Kathleen Barber. The show is written by Nichelle Tramble Spellman, who will also act as executive producer. Spellman has also worked on "The Good Wife", Harper's Island", "Justified", and others.





"When new evidence compels podcaster Poppy Parnell (Octavia Spencer) to reopen the murder case that made her a national sensation, she comes face to face with Warren Cave (Aaron Paul), the man she may have mistakenly helped to put behind bars. Her investigation navigates urgent concerns about privacy, media and race." reads the video's description.

The series shines a light on the cultural phenomena of the true crime podcast, and the novel the show is based off of was directly inspired by the true-crime podcast "Serial." Apple announced they were developing the series in January of 2018, and it is set to debut on Apple TV+ on December 6.

    Looks very good and fills a niche.

    Is there enough violence and sex to shut up the people claiming Apple's content is too mild and that Apple is trying to be Disney?

    The violence and sex is simply an excuse for those that are looking to criticize Apple for any reason. They can claim a million different reasons why this show or Apple TV + will fail but the only one that matters is the quality of the storytelling.

    I figured when violence and sex appeared they'd move the goal posts to the next irrelevant complaint.

    How about the fact every production will be filmed in 4K HDR? No streaming service on Earth has this.

    This show looks pretty good. After the first 12 months Apple should have a nice tidy collection of original content while continuing to build out more.

    This is moronic. Why would they post it on a competing platform but not their own?! Same with the m knight sham’s movie.

    It’s called advertising. You don’t need to advertise to people that are already on your platform. Given Apple TV+ isn’t available yet, how would they advertise on that platform anyway?
