True crime enthusiasts in the UK are only now discovering a truly 'horrifying' series that has landed on Disney Plus. 'Betrayal: Secrets and Lies' is a true crime documentary series adapted from Andrea Gunning's podcast, investigating harrowing stories of individuals whose lives were completely shattered by lies and deception.
What Is 'Betrayal: Secrets and Lies'?
The series explores dark realities, from hidden double lives to financial fraud, revealing what happens when a loved one is not who they seemed. It is a spin-off and continuation of the hit 'Betrayal' franchise, a firm favourite among true crime fans. While typical 'Betrayal' seasons dive deep into one story per season, 'Secrets and Lies' takes an anthology approach, with each episode exploring a new chilling case.
Where to Watch in the UK
The docuseries aired in the US on ABC earlier this year, and all eight episodes are now available to binge on Disney Plus in the UK. Disney Plus teases: 'Love. Trust. Deception. Betrayal: Secrets & Lies reveals the true stories of people whose lives are torn apart by those closest to them. Each episode follows a life undone and the courage it takes to survive. When loyalty turns to lies, the truth does more than break hearts. It changes everything.'
Fan Reactions
One true crime fan recently watched the series for the first time, calling it a must-watch. In a TikTok video, they said: 'Episodes include scandalous confessions, secret lives, terrifying acts of violence, financial ruin and much more. I just watched the first two episodes and I really, really enjoyed them. The first episode to be honest was quite wild.'
Previously, the series was dubbed a 'horrifying' watch. Another viewer commented: 'This new docuseries has given me severe trust issues... Betrayal never disappoints with the horrifying dating stories and they just dropped a new season where every episode is a different story and it is just as horrifying.'
On IMDb, one reviewer stated: 'This is a very well-done true crime documentary. I already knew about half of these stories, but they were presented through today's lens, looking back with interviews from each survivor. And goodness, are these people survivors!'
'Betrayal: Secrets and Lies' is available to stream now on Disney Plus in the UK.
