Who

Octavia Spencer (star); Reese Witherspoon (executive producer); Nichelle Tramble (showrunner); Sarah Koenig (consultant)

What

One of three Apple TV shows Witherspoon is involved in, Truth Be Told - which comes from The Good Wife and Justified's Tramble - is based on the novel Are You Sleeping? by Kathleen Barber. It stars Spencer as Poppy Parnell, a relentless investigative reporter who uses her new podcast as a means of uncovering the truth behind a decades-old murder. It's basically a bit like Serial: The TV Show, which explains Koenig's involvement, while the rest of the cast includes Aaron Paul and Elizabeth Perkins.
