Season Three. [Episodes 1 - 3]

Aired On: Hulu on Disney+.

Release Date: 01/13/26.

Genre: Drama.

The Verdict: A Must-See

The show centered on the most toxic relationship to grace our televisions in years returns for season three on Hulu. And we aren’t complaining. Tell Me Lies is based on the book of the same name by Carola Lovering. The previous two seasons focused on the romantic relationship between Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen (Jackson White). Their shaky love connection is constantly upended by jealousy, ego trips, and mostly self-inflicted wounds. It affects everyone in their orbit with their friends regularly getting in the line of fire between the two lovers. 


Season three picks up right where the previous one left off. In the present day, Bree (Catherine Missal) is getting ready to marry Evan (Branden Cook) as Stephen attempts to thwart their nuptials. The flashbacks take us back in time to 2009, where the friend group is navigating college. Things are mostly the same. Lucy and Stephen are back together. Pippa (Sonia Mena) is still consoling Wrigley (Spencer House) despite having confusing feelings for Diana (Alicia Crowder). Bree is still reeling after her affair with Oliver (Tom Ellis), her professor. 


There are two revelations in the first episode that will presumably drive the plot forward for the rest of the season: Bree’s confession right before she walks down the aisle in the present day and Stephen confronting Lucy about sleeping with Evan in the flashbacks. Each episode makes it seem as though the drama can’t possibly continue its absurd upward trajectory. And yet somehow it does. The lies unfold easily, and ensnare the friend group in a myriad of sticky situations. Most of the fun of the last two seasons came from watching Lucy and Stephen’s relationship implode with bad decisions and toxic behavior that makes you cringe. Season three promises more of that. So fans can once again kick back and bask in the drama that’s impossible to stop watching.
