One of Us Is Lying, a teen murder mystery series, is based on the novel of the same name by Karen M. McManus. The series stars Annalisa Cochrane, Chibuikem Uche, Marianly Tejada, Cooper van Grootel, Barrett Carnahan, Jessica McLeod, Mark McKenna, Melissa Collazo, Sara Thompson and Alimi Ballard.
The story follows five delinquent Bayview High students - cheerleader Addy (Cochrane), baseball pitcher Cooper (Uche), overachiever Bronwyn (Tejada), drug dealer Nate (Grootel), and tabloid proprietor Simon (McKenna). One of them dies of a fatal allergic reaction, and the other four all have a motive for the classmate's death. If it turns out that the death was not an accident, the investigation begins.
One of Us Is Lying was Peacock's first original series order in August 2020, with the eight episodes of the first season released on October 21, 2021. The series was renewed for a second season three months later, with the new episodes being released in released October 2022.
Deadline reports that while Peacock was pleased with the series, the ratings weren't good enough to warrant a third season. The series is being produced by Universal Studio Group, and the company is said to be looking for a new home for the series so it could potentially get a third season elsewhere.
Teen drama Vampire Academy has also been canceled by Peacock,
