Cast: Octavia Spencer is set to star in the drama, which is produced by Reese Witherspoon, created and written by Nichelle Tramble Spellman (The Good Wife, Justified), and based on the true-crime novel by Kathleen Barber. Sarah Koenig, the creator of the podcast phenomenon Serial, is consulting. Aaron Paul plays the male lead.

What it’s about: Truth Be Told (formerly, “Are You Sleeping“) provides a unique glimpse into America’s obsession with true-crime podcasts and challenges its viewers to consider the consequences when the pursuit of justice is placed on a public stage.
