EXCLUSIVE: Gabrielle Union (Being Mary Jane, Cheaper by the Dozen) is set as a lead alongside Octavia Spencer in the third season of the anthology drama series Truth Be Told.
Descending into the world of true-crime podcasts, Truth Be Told stars Spencer as podcaster ‘Poppy Scoville,’ who risks everything—including her life—to pursue truth and justice. Based on the novel by Kathleen Barber, the series 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.
The upcoming season will see Poppy Scoville focus on a new case with Union starring as Eva, an outspoken high school principal who becomes embroiled in a problematic incident.
With Spencer’s Poppy as the thread through the anthology series, each season tells a different story and features new stars opposite Spencer. Season 1 had Aaron Paul and Lizzy Caplan; Season 2 starred Kate Hudson.
NAACP Image Award-winning Truth Be Told is created and executive produced by Nichelle Tramble Spellman, and the third season of the drama is helmed by showrunner Maisha Closson, who also serves as executive producer. In addition to starring, Spencer serves as executive producer. The series is produced for Apple TV+ by Hello Sunshine, Chernin Entertainment and Endeavor Content. Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter executive produce for Hello Sunshine, and Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping executive produce for Chernin Entertainment. Mikkel Nørgaard also serves as executive producer.
Union, who headlined BET’s Being Mary Jane and was the co-lead of L.A.’s Finest, currently stars in Disney+’s Cheaper By the Dozen remake. She is repped by Range Media, CAA and Lede.

“Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” fans alike have been pondering if we’d ever see Bryan Cranston’s Walter White and Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman make an appearance on the prequel/spinoff series. Well, the creative team and network have finally given a concrete answer to that question.
Walt and Jesse are coming back.After years of fielding questions about an appearance by the “Breaking Bad” characters on the prequel series “Better Call Saul,” AMC confirmed on Saturday night that Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will indeed be back in some capacity in the upcoming final season of the Bob Odenkirk-fronted show. “Better Call Saul” co-creator Peter Gould first made the announcement on a Paley Fest panel on Saturday night.Further details about Cranston and Paul’s appearance were not revealed.The actors first returned to the roles of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in the 2019 Netflix sequel film “El Camino,” which was written and directed by “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan and picked up immediately after the “Breaking Bad” finale left off, providing additional closure to Jesse Pinkman’s arc.The sixth and final season of “Better Call Saul” premieres on April 18 on AMC, but the season is being split up into two parts (Part 2 premieres in July), so it’s unknown during which part Cranston and Paul appear.Gould and Gilligan created “Better Call Saul” after the end of “Breaking Bad” as a way to expand the universe and explore the life of Saul Goodman – aka Jimmy McGill – before he crossed paths with criminal mastermind Walter White.
It’s official – Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are coming back!
