Tell Me Lies, a Hulu drama series, captivated audiences with its complicated relationships and dark secrets. Among the most intriguing characters is Drew, Wrigley’s brother, whose tragic story has left fans wondering what really happened to him.
His journey through season 1 had a lot of impact on many other characters, leaving viewers curious to know his fate.
Who is Drew in Tell Me Lies?
Drew, played by Benjamin Wadsworth, is introduced early in the series as Wrigley’s brother. Throughout the first season, Drew struggles with the weight of a secret regarding his role in Macy's death which becomes a crucial part of the plot. He isn't just Wrigley's brother; he becomes a pivotal figure whose decisions affect many lives.
Drew’s life took a tragic turn when he accidentally caused Macy's death. In episode 2, it's revealed that Drew was involved in the car accident that killed Macy. He was drinking that night, which caused him to panic and flee the scene without calling the authorities. This terrible mistake would haunt him and unravel his life.
Drew’s mental state begins to deteriorate as he grapples with the guilt of Macy’s death and Wrigley’s injury. Some viewers theorize that this guilt might have led him to consider suicide, but the show doesn’t provide any clear answers. His downward spiral is heartbreaking, and it raises questions about whether he can ever find peace.
Stephen, Wrigley's friend, has a significant influence on Drew’s fate. By telling Lucy the truth about Macy's death and letting her believe Drew was solely responsible, Stephen sets off a chain reaction that leads to Drew’s downfall. His manipulation plays a major role in the events that follow.
Drew's bond with Wrigley
Drew and Wrigley shared a deep brotherly bond, but Drew’s guilt started creating cracks in their relationship. Wrigley, who plays football and is generally seen as lovable, tries to protect his brother. However, things get complicated when Drew’s involvement in Macy’s death is exposed, leading to tension between the siblings.
Lucy, Wrigley’s girlfriend, plays a huge part in Drew’s downfall. After learning about Drew’s role in Macy's death from her boyfriend Stephen, Lucy sends an anonymous letter to the Dean, urging an investigation into Drew’s involvement.
This letter becomes the catalyst for Drew’s problems, as it sets off a series of events that ultimately push him to confront Pippa.
At a party, Drew confronts Pippa, wrongly believing that she was the one who sent the letter to the Dean. The confrontation turns into a physical altercation, and Wrigley tries to intervene, but things spiral out of control. This leads to Wrigley accidentally falling off a balcony, which changes everything for Drew and Wrigley.
Drew's absence in Tell Me Lies Season 2
Drew is notably absent from the two-part premiere of Tell Me Lies Season 2. However, one clue in the season 1 finale gives us some insight. During Evan and Bree's wedding, Evan mentions that it was Drew’s birthday the day before. This comment, along with Wrigley’s behavior, suggests that something tragic happened to Drew.
Drew’s story in Tell Me Lies is filled with tragedy and uncertainty. His guilt over Macy’s death and his involvement in Wrigley’s injury have caused him to spiral out of control.
While season 1 left fans wondering whether Drew is alive or dead, there’s hope that season 2 will provide the answers we’ve been waiting for.
