The Lying Game is heading back to Channel 5, with the broadcaster’s 5* channel picking up the second season of the American teen drama for the UK.
Based on the books by Sara Shepard, the series follows identical twins Emma Becker and Sutton Mercer, separated at birth and raised worlds apart, neither aware the other exists. When the two finally find each other, Emma agrees to slip into Sutton’s life for a few days while Sutton goes looking for their birth mother, a favour that quickly spirals into a tangle of secrets and lies. Alexandra Chando plays both twins.
The first season aired on 5* in the UK, and the channel has now snapped up the further run of episodes. Produced by Alloy Entertainment and Warner Horizon Television, the show also stars Andy Buckley, Blair Redford, Alice Greczyn and Allie Gonino.
