Michael Ealy Joins 'Secrets & Lies' Season Two as New Lead

Michael Ealy has been named the new leading man on ABC’s anthology series Secrets & Lies!

According to Deadline, the 41-year-old actor will star opposite Juliette Lewis in the second season.

Juliette is the only season one castmember returning as she takes on a brand new case, which of course involves Michael‘s character Eric Warner and the investigation into his wife’s murder.

Here’s the character description: “Smart, well-educated and hard working, Warner is at the top of his game – he’s the heir apparent to his family’s private equity firm in Charlotte, NC, newly married to ‘the one’ and walking on air. Eric is attending a party to honor dad passing over the reins when suddenly tragedy strikes – his wife Kate is murdered, and life, as he knows it, is over.”

Michael‘s credits include recent roles on The Following, Almost Human, and The Good Wife.
