Apple TV+ today unveiled the trailer for the second season of the NAACP Image Award-winning drama "Truth Be Told," from acclaimed writer, showrunner, and executive producer Nichelle Tramble Spellman. Starring and executive produced by Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer, the anticipated new season also stars Academy Award-nominee Kate Hudson in her first lead role in a television series.
