Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Apple announced Friday that Kate Hudson has joined the cast of its Apple Original series Truth Be Told for Season 2. Production begins Oct. 26 in Los Angeles, Calif.

According to a press release, Hudson will play Micah Keith, a lifestyle guru friend of Poppy Parnell (Octavia Spencer). Season 2's new mystery involves both women and tests their friendship.

As a movie star, Hudson was Oscar-nominated for her role as Penny Lane in Almost Famous. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association awarded Hudson a Golden Globe for that role.

Spencer also executive produces Truth Be Told along with Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine, Chernin Entertainment and Endeavor Content. Hello Sunshine also produces Apple TV+'s The Morning Show, on which Witherspoon also stars.
