Release date confirmed for Liar series 2

It's coming in March!

Author: Alex RossPublished 20th Feb 2020

After it was announced last month that ITV's popular drama Liar would be returning in 2020, fans of the show have been holding out for more news, and now it's been revealed series two will return to our TV screens on Monday 2nd March!

ITV released a brand new trailer earlier this month, which appears to show main character Laura Nielson (Joanne Froggatt) being the prime suspect for the brutal murder of rapist Andrew Earlham (Ioan Gruffudd).

The one minute clip shows Laura pleading her innocence to new character, Detective Inspector Karen Renton, played by former Coronation Street actress Katherine Kelly.

She says, "I wanted Andrew to suffer. It's all I could think about, and when I found out he was dead I was relieved that he couldn't hurt anyone else the way he hurt me, the way he hurt so many people, ruined so many lives."

Later in the short trailer, Laura adds, "I don't know who killed Andrew Earlham, but I'm not taking the fall for it. He's not going to ruin my life all over again.

"I did not murder Andrew Earlham!"

Watch the trailer for Liar series 2 below:

Of course, if you cast your minds back to series one way back in 2017, the thrilling drama ended with Andrew's body floating in a lake with his throat cut open, just as Laura had found evidence to expose him.

And it looks like Laura isn't the only suspect in Andrew's murder, as the initial trailer released back in January showing a video reel of potential suspects.

Now check out the original names of our favourite TV shows:

Friends

We all know and love it as Friends, but the TV show could have been called something very different...

Six of One

Six Of One just doesn't have the same ring to it! Here are the cast Jennifer Aniston, Matt Le Blanc, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow. Mega-fans, you can watch Friends daily on Comedy Central (YAY!) or on Friends – The Complete Series 1-10 on Blu-ray and DVD.

NCIS

NCIS finished its 14th season earlier this year - this moment is from the gripping season finale.

NavyNCIS

Starring Duane Henry, Emily Wickersham, and Wilmer Valderrama (above) NCIS was originally going to be called NavyNCIS.

Only Fools and Horses

We know it as Only Fools and Horses with Del Boy's infamous Reliant Regal Supervan.

Readies or Big Brother

But it was originally due to be called Readies or Big Brother. Good job they went with Only Fools and Horses, then!

The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory could have been called something a lot less catchy...

Lenny, Penny and Kenny

Yep - Sheldon was very nearly called Kenny!

Saturday Night Live

US variety show Saturday Night Live is well known around the world - here's Star Wars actor Adam Driver introducing the show.

NBC's Saturday Night

Not quite the same, is it? Here's Ariana Grande's ex-fiancé Pete Davidson, who works on the show as a comedian.

Hannah Montana

Hannah Montana, was a musical comedy starring Miley Cyrus in the lead role and was named after the main character, but it could have been very different.

Alexis Texas

The lead character was originally going to be called Alexis Texas... Which means that the show would also have been called Alexis Texas!

Lost

The gripping TV show Lost, starring Terry O'Quinn as John Locke (pictured), kept people guessing the ending for years.

Nowhere

Lost could have been called Nowhere!

New Girl

Known as New Girl, the TV show starring Zooey Deschanel as kooky teacher Jess Day could have been called something else entirely.

Chicks and D---s

While New Girl was the name they finally settled on, it had a much ruder working title - and Zooey Deschanel refused to sign onto the project whilst that was the name.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Supernatural TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer was a hit in the late 90s and early 00s. It was named after the lead character Buffy Summers, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Slayers

It was originally going to be called Slayers.

The Good Wife

Known as The Good Wife, the TV series starred Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart (pictured), as a top litigator and senior partner of a Chicago law firm.

Leave the B-----d

The series, which also starred Sex and the City's Chris Noth (pictured), was originally going to be called Leave the B-----d.

Liar returns to ITV on Monday 2nd March.
