‘Secrets and Lies’ season 2 spoilers: ‘90210’ alum AnnaLynne McCord latest to join case
Per a report from Deadline, the actress (who is best known for “90210” and recently had an arc on “Dallas”) is going to be coming aboard this show as Melanie Warner, an “outspoken housewife” of Patrick Warner, the third child of an extremely wealthy John Warner, a soon-to-retire giant of an equity firm. John is set to pass down his business to his son Eric (Ealy), but much of that could change courtesy of the murder of Eric’s wife Kate. Melanie specifically feels like somewhat of an outsider in the Warner family, and it remains unclear just what the present circumstances will do when it comes to that perception.
There is some irony here in McCord’s casting. It was also recently reported that her former “Dallas” co-star Jordana Brewster is going to play Kate on the show, presumably in flashbacks for the most part given that she has to die pretty early on in the series for it to work.
The second season of “Secrets and Lies” is meant to be an entirely new story, and Juliette Lewis (Det. Cornell) is the only returning cast member. This is good news for the most part for series neophytes, who will be able to jump on board without feeling particularly lost (we made that reference just for O’Quinn fans). Hopefully, at the same time there will be some references still to the past, just enough to reward fans of the first season.
This new season will premiere at some point in 2016. For now, let us know what you think about the casting below, and head over here to get some other TV news on everything we cover sent right to you, courtesy of our CarterMatt Newsletter. (Photo: ABC.)
