The truth is coming to Apple+. 

The new streaming service is increasing its offering by adding a new original series that will make you question both evidence and imprisonment. 

Entitled Truth Be Told, the show comes from The Good Wife writer and producer, Nichelle Tramble Spellman. 

Oscar-winning actress Octavia Spencer will play a true-crime podcaster whose investigative work aided in putting a convicted murder played by El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie star, Aaron Paul, begins bars. 

The synopsis released by Apple+ states: “When new evidence compels podcaster Poppy Parnell to reopen the murder case that made her a national sensation, she comes face to face with Warren Cave, the man she may have mistakenly helped to put behind bars. Her investigation navigates urgent concerns about privacy, media and race.”

In addition to Spencer and Paul, the series features Lizzy Caplan, Elizabeth Perkins, Michael Beach, Mekhi Phifer, Tracie Thoms, Haneefah Wood, and Ron Cephas Jones.

Apple+ launches on November 1st, while Truth Be Told will premiere on December 6th
