Secrets and Lies Season 2: Detective Cornell Will Be Under 'Tremendous Pressure' 

Juliette Lewis‘ tough-as-nails Detective Cornell didn’t put the right person behind bars in 

Needless to say, the sleuth will be even more committed to jailing the

killer during the ABC drama’s second go-round — but she’ll also be up against a few more obstacles.

“It wouldn’t bode well for the show if, every season, our star detective did not get the person who committed the murder,” showrunner Barbie Kligman said Saturday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena. “There’s tremendous pressure, and she’s a very good detective, and she will find justice.”

As TVLine has previously reported, Season 2 will center on Eric Warner (played by

‘s Michael Ealy), a well-educated newlywed and heir apparent to his family’s private equity firm in Charlotte, N.C. While attending a party to honor his dad’s (

‘s Terry O’Quinn) retirement, Eric’s wife (

‘ Jordana Brewster) is murdered, forcing Eric to turn to Det. Cornell to find the truth.

“Everything about this season is different [for Cornell],” Lewis said, when asked how her typically icy character may evolve in the second season. “How she has to handle [a wealthy family], how she handles her investigation is different. She really has to watch herself. There’s more things she’s up against in her investigating.”

‘ sophomore season will also be told from Cornell’s perspective much more often than in Season 1, allowing viewers “to see the pressure [she] experiences in her own environment as she tries to solve the case… which is very refreshing for the audience,” Kligman shared. “There’s more to her than just that woman that keeps popping up.”

Still, even though Cornell learned a lesson from last season’s derailed Ben Crawford (R.I.P.) case, Lewis insisted her character won’t be weighed down by remorse when we next see her: “[She’s OK with what happened], as much as people who stuff emotional things down [can be].”

returns in 2016, though a premiere date is still TBD. Will you be watching?

I’m excited for the new season, but based on that promo picture I’m wondering if season 2 will be based in the same small fictional town as season 1…

The article on Deadline says it returns on March 1. Is that accurate?

Only place I have seen that has a date, so I’d say maybe but doubtful.

I can’t wait to see how much that last case affected her.

I’ve been waiting for months now!!! I miss the show. Air season 2 already!!!!!!

Oh you bet I’ll be watching. I cannot wait!!!! Yayyy😊😊 I think Juliette Lewis is an amazing actress and her supporting crew seems to be just as awesome. Patiently waiting.

hahahaha but who are these people in the photo with Lewis? That’s not Ealy. Nor Brewster. Nor even O’Quinn. No one who is mentioned in the article… ?
