Liar’s Joanne Froggatt teases ending of who killed Andrew Earlham: ‘The audience will be kept guessing’

Season two of ITV’s Liar will be back on our screens in just a matter of weeks as it surrounds the mystery of Andrew Earlham’s death.

The upcoming series sees Laura Nielson (Joanne Froggatt) in one hell of a troubled situation as she’s sent to prison for the murder of twisted Andrew (Ioan Gruffudd) – but is she guilty of the crime?

Speaking ahead of series two, which will hit our screens next month, Joanne revealed that she was satisfied by the ending.

‘It’s a very satisfying story. The audience will be kept guessing,’ she told Metro.co.uk.

When reading the script Joanne admitted that she kept changing her mind as to who the killer was.

Season one of the gripping drama focused on the bitter battle between the two of them, where viewers were left guessing if Andrew had raped Laura, or if Laura was making it up for revenge.

It ended with Andrew’s dead body lying on the ground with a cut throat– so now the next game is to figure out who’s responsible for that in the tangled tale.

At the moment, it looks like Laura has taken the fall, which isn’t helped by her eerie monologue that sets off the new trailer, as she’s locked up for the crime.

She said: ‘I wanted Andrew to suffer. It’s all I could think about, and when I found out he was dead I was relieved that he couldn’t hurt anyone else the way he hurt me.

‘The way he hurt so many people, ruined so many lives.’

But then it takes a twist, and anyone who’s seen season one knows that there’s more than one person who would’ve wanted Andrew dead.

‘Somehow he’s still doing it, messing with my life, he’s dead and he’s still playing games with me,’ she said.

‘I don’t know who killed Andrew Earlham, but I’m not taking the fall for it. He’s not going to ruin my life all over again.’

New cast member Katherine Kelly will play DI Karen Renton, who joins DS Rory Maxwell (Danny Webb) as his new partner in investigating Andrew’s past to identify his killer.

Show writers Jack and Harry Williams revealed last year how Andrew is going to return – and no, it’s nothing like setting himself up.

‘I can categorically say that he’s dead, but there’s a time jump at the end of the series,’ explained Jack.

‘There’s three weeks we’re going to find out, we’re going to see the story of what actually happens in the weeks leading up to it.’

Liar returns Monday 2 March at 9pm on ITV.
