The suspects for the murder of Andrew Earlham have been revealed as Liar season 2 kicks off.

Back in 2017, Liar fans will remember evil Dr Andrew Earlham was exposed as a rapist after he attacked Laura Neilson following a date.

But after Laura (Joanne Froggartt) finally found the evidence she needed to take him to court, the finale tense scene saw Andrew (Ioan Gruffudd) lying dead in the marshes with his throat slit.

Now Liar is back for a new series, this time kicking off three weeks after Andrew disappeared.

It’s unlikely Laura is the murderer as we predict there are many twists and turns along the way.

Speaking ahead of series 2, actress Joanne hinted that Laura said: "Laura is under suspicion. She feels angry the injustice has carried on and she is now a suspect. Andrew is still haunting her.

"But several characters had a reason to want something terrible to happen to Andrew. It shows how one person's actions have a snowball effect on so many lives."

So will Luke turn on his father as we find out more about the Earlham family and the abuse of Andrew’s ex wife?

Viewers found out in series one that Katy (Zoë Tapper) had an affair with Laura's then-boyfriend Tom.
