We're not lying about this TV news.
Peacock's One of Us Is Lying is back for a second season on Oct. 20. And after the dramatic death of Jake (Barrett Carnahan) at the end of season one, the Bayview Four are in hotter water than ever in Peacock's newly released sneak peek.
"It's over," says Nate Macauley (Cooper van Grootel) in the season two trailer as the group seemingly deposes Jake's body in the water. But Addy Prentiss (Annalisa Cochrane) thinks otherwise, telling him, "I think it's just getting started."
As a refresher, the first season centered around Nate, Addy, Bronwyn Rojas (Marianly Tejada) and Cooper Clay (Chibuikem Uche), all four of whom were suspects in the mysterious death of classmate and runner of the school gossip app About That, Simon Kelleher (Mark McKenna).
After a season's worth of investigating, it is revealed that Jake was responsible for Simon's demise and sought to frame the Bayview Four (a.k.a. Murder Club), as Simon knew secrets about them that made them appear as likely suspects.
During a fight in the woods over evidence proving their innocence, Jake pulled a gun on the group but ended up getting shot himself and died.
The deadly secret lies at the center of season two. Not only are students—including high school queen Vanessa (Sara Thompson)—suspicious of news that Jake fled to Mexico, but the Murder Club is being targeted by another blackmailer, this time the mysterious Simon Says.
"We have to figure out who Simon Says is," says Bronwyn in the trailer, to which someone replies, "And until then, we need to do whatever they say."
The eight-episode season also stars Jess McLeod as Janae, Melissa Collazo as Maeve and Alimi Ballard as Kevin.
Showrunner Erica Saleh also serves as a writer and executive producer, alongside executive producers Darío Madrona, John Sacchi, Matt Groesch, Jan Oxenberg, Molly Nussbaum and Bill Johnson. Executive producer Michael Weaver also directs the series with Shannon Kohli, Roxanne Benjamin and Ben Semanoff.
From smashing cars to explosions, new relationships, kidnappings and more, fans will have to tune in to see "just how far they'll go to protect their secret, themselves, and each other," according to Peacock's description.
