London - New York - April 24, 2019 - ITV and Sundance TV announced the start of production on season two of the award-winning six-part thriller Liar, written by Harry and Jack Williams of Two Brothers Pictures (The Missing, Fleabag) and starring Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey) and Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four), in the U.K.

When Andrew's body is found in the Kent marshes, Detective Renton (Kelly) alongside DS Rory Maxwell are tasked with uncovering clues about Andrew's past and unpacking the events of the three crucial weeks leading up to his murder.
