When will 'One of Us is Lying' Season 2 be released?
As we know the first season had eight episodes and so the viewers can be sure that this season too, the number of episodes ain't changing. Speaking of the second season of the series, on January 14, 2022, Peacock renewed the series for a second season, with Saleh replacing Madrona as showrunner. In May 2022, Joe Witkowski and Doralynn Mui joined the cast in recurring roles. The second season is set to premiere on Thursday, October 20, 2022, only on Peacock.
In case you have not watched the series yet the official synopsis of the series reads, "At Bayview High, five students: Simon (Mark McKenna), Addy (Annalisa Cochrane), Cooper (Chibuikem Uche), Bronwyn (Marianly Tejada), and Nate (Cooper van Grootel) are given detention. Simon, known for starting an online gossip group with his friend Janae (Jessica McLeod) to snitch on his classmates, suffers a sudden and fatal allergic reaction. Each of the four students had the motive to kill Simon, and after it is determined his death was not an accident, an investigation ensues."
The reviews of the first season have been pretty decent. The Hollywood Reporter reviewed the first season saying, "deftly tweaks its balance of suspicions to keep things interesting, but it's McKenna and Van Grootel who really pull focus." The Hollywood Reporter's Angie Han said the series was missing a spark to set it apart from similar programming, with characters that feel like "archetypes," a "sour, dour mood, with few moments of either levity or raw pain," and dull colors that "keep the show's emotions at arm's length. The story moves forward at a painless pace, and the characters are easy enough to like, if not really interesting enough to love. But without any notable quirks or deep insights, it's also a show that seems likely to disappear from memory as soon as that binge is over."
However, you can catch the latest season of 'One of Us is Lying' on Peacock on October 20, 2022, at 6 am ET/3 am PT.
