Truth Be Told is an American legal/crime drama television series.[1] The series was created by Nichelle Tramble Spellman for Apple TV+ and is based on Kathleen Barber's 2017 debut novel Are You Sleeping. Spellman also acts as executive producer and writes for the show. Unlike the book, Poppy Parnell (Octavia Spencer) plays the main role, as a podcaster who revisits the case that made her famous with the hope of finally getting to the truth.

The series premiered on December 6, 2019.[2] The soundtrack, composed by John Paesano, was released by Lakeshore Records on the same day.[3] New York's Paley Center also aired episodes of the show.[4]

The second season began in August 2021. In December 2021, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on January 20, 2023 and concluded on March 24, 2023. In April 2023, the series was canceled after three seasons.
