The Apple drama series “Truth Be Told” is done after three seasons at the streamer.
Series star Octavia Spencer announced the news in a statement on her Instagram account.
“Hey y’all. I wanted to share the news that after three seasons of seeking truth and justice, Poppy Scoville is going on a much-needed vacation,” she wrote. “I want to thank my partners at Orit Entertainment, Hello Sunshine, Chernin Entertainment, Fifth Season, and everyone at Apple for being so supportive over the past three seasons. Nichelle Tramble, Maisha Closson, Mikkel Norgaard and our incredible cast and crew – thank you for your creative vision during this incredible journey. Poppy Scoville signing off.”
The series originally debuted in 2019 and aired its third (and now final) season between January 20 and March 24, 2023. Spencer starred as Poppy Parnell (she uses the name Scoville in Season 3), a true crime podcaster who investigates a different case each season.
