The first season of “Truth Be Told” launched last December, shortly after the launch of the Apple streaming service. It followed Poppy as she is compelled to reopen the murder case that made her a national sensation, and comes face-to-face with the man (Aaron Paul) she may have mistakenly helped to put behind bars.
