'Tell Me Lies' Season 3: All About the Hulu Show's Return

Published 15 hours ago4 minute read

Tell Me Lies' gripping and twisty storylines aren't ending yet.

Based on Carola Lovering's 2018 novel of the same name, the drama centers around students Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White), who meet in 2007 while attending Baird College in upstate New York.

The Hulu series follows the characters in dual timelines — 2008 and 2015 — as it shows how their toxic and turbulent relationship forever alters them, as well as the lives of their closest friends and family.

When it comes to Lucy and Stephen's relationship, White told PEOPLE he thinks "there's something satisfying about seeing two really destructive people just find comfort in each other." He added, "It's like, it's very Bonnie and Clyde ... I don't know, there's something satisfying about it."

Since season 2 of Tell Me Lies ended in October 2024, details have continued to be shared about the next chapter at Baird College. Here's everything to know about Tell Me Lies season 3, including the growing cast.

Yes, it was announced that Hulu had renewed Tell Me Lies for a third season in December 2024.

The series has been a hit for Hulu, with Deadline reporting that it "stayed in the Hulu Top 15 for over 50 straight days throughout its Season 2 run."

When Tell Me Lies was given the green light for season 3, it was also revealed that series showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer had inked an overall deal with 20th TV, which is part of Disney Television Studios.

In a statement, Karey Burke, president of 20th Television, said, “Meaghan has shepherded Tell Me Lies for two intensely addictive seasons that fueled an incredible wave of obsessive fan and social conversation. We are thrilled to have her officially in the studio fold and at the helm of another dramatic season.”

A release date for Tell Me Lies season 3 has not been announced, but according to the show's official Instagram account, filming is currently underway.

For reference, production for the second season began in January 2024, with that season premiering later that year, in September.

So, hopefully, viewers won't have to wait too long to get answers following season 2's intense bombshell-filled finale.

The cast of Tell Me Lies season 3 has not been confirmed, but since the series is about the relationship between Lucy and Stephen, the actors who play the couple — Van Patten and White, respectively — are likely returning.

Even more evidence is that Van Patten is featured in the Instagram post announcing production has started on the new season.

In October 2024, White told E! News that he "would love to do season 3."

"Some of my closest friends I met on this show," he said. "It's so fun to make it with them." (White and Van Patten have been dating since 2022, when they met while filming the first season.)

Other season 2 cast members include Spencer House, Catherine Missal, Sonia Mena, Branden Cook and Tom Ellis.

In May 2025, Ellis confirmed to PEOPLE that he will be returning for the upcoming set of episodes, saying, "Yes, I'm going back."

When it comes to new cast additions, Iris Apatow has joined season 3 in a recurring role. Deadline reports that she will play Amanda, "a bubbly but fragile college freshman keeping a big secret."

The outlet also previously reported that Costa D’Angelo has come aboard for the latest installment. The actor will portray Alex, "a psychology grad student and part-time drug dealer who has a complicated past with Bree (Missal)."

In an October 2024 interview with Variety, Oppenheimer said she had mapped out the series "way in advance."

"I think by the third season, we will still have some 2008 because there’s stuff that we have to wrap up there," she explained. "But I think it would be a little bit shifted in the sense that there will probably be more 2015 than 2008."

Oppenheimer added that "there would probably be a time jump" for season 3.

At CBS Fest in Los Angeles in May 2025, Ellis — who is married to Oppenheimer — told PEOPLE he had read the scripts for the first four episodes of season 3, teasing that fans "will not be disappointed."

"It is as dark, toxic, and funny as ever," he said. "And just when you thought our characters couldn't do anything more ridiculous to themselves, they ended up doing it."
