I was watching a movie and there was something like advertising the next episode in the bottom of the screen. It was a text which i can't match with the english grammar. Just this :
Truth be told
I have some questions about this sentence.
- Why not using "the truth"?
- What does it mean exactly? Is this some kind of telling something about the future? If it was my sentence, i would say "The truth will be told".
- Is this sentence grammatically right?

It's an idiom, an expression. You can't really use it as a complete sentence; normally, you'd say, for example: "truth be told, I don't really like pokémon." It means about the same thing as 'to be honest' or 'frankly'.
