Breakfast Club meets Gossip Girl meets murder in Netflix’s hit teen series One Of Us Is Lying, which has returned to the streamer for a second outing this month following its release via Peacock in the US.
Season 1 ended on a massive cliff hanger when (spoiler alert!) Jake was killed in the finale after it was revealed he was resposnibel for Simon’s death. The circumstances surrounding his murder, however, were murky. We do know it involved Addy, Cooper and Janae, however, and that its repercussions will drive the second season.
Unlike the first novel, the series’s second outing veers away from the Karen M McManus book series it’s based on, focusing on the Bayview High students we already know rather than a new set of characters.
But are they all back? And who is joining them for another round of twisty murders? Read on for the full One Of Us Is Lying season 2 cast.

Going into season 2, she and some of her fellow students now have a new secret – but will it come out?
