There’s nothing like a murder mystery to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.Television writers spin tales of tangled webs all the time, but not all of them make it past the first season.
One fall drama is enjoying a second kick at the can as determined detective Andrea Cornell (Juliette Lewis,“Cape Fear,” 1991) tries to solve another case in a new episode of “Secrets and Lies,” airingSunday,Oct.16,onABC.Thefirst season of the ABC drama co-starred Ryan Phillippe (“Cruel Intentions,” 1999) as Ben Crawford, who was the prime suspect in the death of a young boy.
Season 2 chronicles a completely different case involving the murder
of a beautiful young woman. Unlike a lot of TV dramas that follow the same storyline season after season,“Secrets and Lies” is an anthology series with several new characters and a whole new plot. Introducing a new mystery could be risky, but the show is in good hands with Lewis, who’s been known to take a few risks herself. Renowned for her range, actress and rocker Lewis has played everything from a mentally challenged young woman in “The Other Sister” (1999) to a homicidal maniac in “Natural Born Killers” (1994).
She’s taken on yet another challenge in “Secrets and Lies” as she portrays
buttoned-up Det. Cornell. She talked about her part during a recent ap- pearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“This role is so different from any- thing I’ve ever done because she’s unemotional and you have to be in that line of work,” explained Lewis, who wentontoraveaboutherco-stars:“I’m so proud of my cast!”
That new cast includes Michael Ealy (“Barbershop,” 2002) as Eric Warner,
a well-educated man on the verge of taking control of his family’s private equity firm in Charlotte, North Carolina. Unfortunately, his good fortune takes a turn for the worse when his new wife, Kate (Jordana Brewster, “The Fast and the Furious,” 2001), turns up dead dur- ing a party celebrating his success. Ealy started out performing in off-Broadway productions before getting his big break on the big screen in “Barbershop.” He’s also appeared in such films as “2 Fast
2 Furious” (2003) and “Seven Pounds” (2008), as well as in the television series “Flashforward” and “The Good Wife.”
Cornell is immediately suspicious of Warner, but, of course, his family has plenty of secrets as well. Terry O’Quinn (“Lost”) portrays Eric’s charming father, John,whobuilthiscompanyonastrong foundation of honesty and morality. Kate’s death casts a shadow on his company and its future. O’Quinn is best known as John Locke in J.J.Abrams’s “Lost,” but he’s been working steadily in the industry for decades, hav-
ing appeared in such movies
as “Young Guns” (1988), “Tombstone” (1993) and “The Rocketeer” (1991). His television credits include “Alias,” “JAG” and “Hawaii Five-0.”
Actress and dancer Mekia Cox (“90210”) plays Eric’s sister, Amanda.A criminal attorney for the public defender’s office,
Amanda is very familiar with Cornell, and is
fiercely protective of
Eric as a result. Cox ap- peared as a dancer in the Michael Jackson concert series “This Is It,” and like O’Quinn, she has a connec- tion to Abrams, having had a role in his canceled spy drama “Undercovers.”
The supporting cast also includes Charlie Bar- nett as Patrick, Eric and
Amanda’s younger brother. Barnett is no stranger to television audiences, who may recognize him as firefighter/para- medic Peter Mills from NBC’s “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.”
Kenny Johnson has joined the cast of “Secrets and Lies” as a character named Danny, another potential suspect in Kate’sdeath.Withrolesinsomeof television’s hottest dramas, Johnson has been a virtual fixture in prime time for several years, and has had memorable appearances in such series as “The Shield,” “Cold Case,” “Saving Grace,” “Sons of Anarchy,” “Burn Notice” and “Dexter.”
The suspects aren’t the only ones with secrets in “Secrets and Lies.” Every- one seems to have something to hide, even Cornell.As the season wears on, Cornell will be forced to deal with her own dark revelations.
Based on Stephen Irwin’s Australian television series of the same name, ABC’s “Secrets and Lies” was devel- oped for North American audiences by Barbie Kligman (“Private Practice”).
As a producer and writer, Kligman has also had a hand in such prime-time suc- cesses as “The Vampire Diaries,” “CSI: NY” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”AaronKaplan(“TheMysteriesof Laura”),Tracey Robertson (“The Strange Calls”) and Nathan Mayfield (“Texas Rising:The Lost Soldier”) also serve as executive producers.
ABC offers fans even more content through the online companion series
“Cornell Confidential.”Available each week immediately following the show’s East Coast broadcast on ABC.com/SecretsandLies and the
ABC app, the program features an in-depth look at the investi-
gation, as well as additional clues, scenes and sometimes cliffhangers.
While critical reviews of the first season of “Secrets and Lies” were mixed, the show consistently drew
more than five million
viewers, no small feat in today’s cutthroat prime- time landscape. Lewis and
her new castmates have all sorts of new twists and turns to keep viewers intrigued
this season. Check out a new episode of “Secrets and Lies,” airing Sunday, Oct. 16, on ABC.
