'Truth Be Told': Octavia Spencer-Aaron Paul chemistry to thrilling crime story, everything to look forward to in Apple TV+ show
Apple TV+ has rolled the carpet for quite a few unique and interesting shows since its launch in November and has made it clear that there is so much more to come. December will see one of the most anticipated projects on the streaming network yet - 'Truth Be Told', starring Octavia Spencer and Aaron Paul. There are so many reasons we are excited about this legal drama, but here are the top three reasons among them.
Stellar acting
Starring Spencer, Paul, Lizzy Caplan, Elizabeth Perkins, and Michael Beach, the Apple TV show boasts of a formidable star cast. They are all consistently spectacular performers, and we cannot begin to imagine what the culmination of all of their talents would mean for 'Truth Be Told'.
Caplan's performance is especially exciting to us, seeing as she is playing two roles. We will get to see her versatility in a way that we have never seen before, and we are certainly looking forward to that.
Octavia Spencer and Aaron Paul's chemistry
Spencer and Paul, specifically, are captaining the ship, and they are expected to have many scenes together. After all, Spencer's Poppy is a huge part of why Paul was supposedly wrongfully put in prison. Both actors have proved to be exceptional specifically in dark and gritty roles, bringing their unique take on every character they play, and in the series, we will see them in similar scenes quite often, squaring off.
Their chemistry together is one of the biggest reasons to be excited about this show. We get a glimpse of this in the trailer and the first look of the series, and it is clear that they do not really get along, especially at the beginning of their time together. However, they have the same goal, forcing the two of them to spend quite a bit of time together. These powerhouse performers are sure to create Apple TV history together.
True crime drama
Kathleen Barber's 'Are You Sleeping' was one of the best novels of 2017 and if you read it you have already experienced the nailbiting twists and slow yet deliberate thickening of the plot. Hello Sunshine, co-founded by Reese Witherspoon has bought the rights to this very novel to make 'Truth Be Told', so you know you are getting a true thriller featuring great talent.
Moreover, judging by all the amazing shows and films such as 'Big Little Lies', 'The Morning Show', 'Gone Girl' and 'Wild' that Hello Sunshine has already produced, we have high hopes for this one. From the trailer alone, the show looks like it will have us glued to the edge of our seats.
'Truth Be Told' will premiere of Apple TV+ on Friday, December 6
