Tell Me Lies has been one of Hulu's most invigorating teen drama love stories of the generation. The series primarily revolves around college-goers Lucy Albright (played by Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (played by Jackson White) and their twisted relationship as lovers.

Apart from the infatuation they have for each other, the duo have serious issues concerning their compatibility as a couple. The couple first met at Baird College during their freshmen year when they instantly hit it off.

While there’s no doubt they liked each other, they entered a very toxic ruse involving cheating scandals on multiple occassions across the two seasons of the show.

Despite the affairs, the couple still can’t seem to get enough of each other and continue to date periodically. However, in season 2, they navigate the aftermath of a messy split as they return to college as sophomores.

With flashbacks, secrets, and lies still yet to be unraveled, fans can’t help but wonder about a season 3 of Tell Me Lies. Do note, the finale of the drama is yet to air on October 16, 2024. Until then, here's everything we know about the possibility of a new season!


Has Tell Me Lies been renewed for season 3 on Hulu?

No, Tell Me Lies has not yet been renewed for season 3 on Hulu. The show recently launched its second installment and will probably wait for viewership ratings. It will be a while before fans and viewers can hear any official confirmation about the same.

However, with glowing reviews from fans and an intense storyline, the possibility of the show’s return for a third installment isn’t out of the question at all.

Per Elle UK, last year, the show’s second series was confirmed midway in season 1. With the finale days away, we may expect a surprise announcement like before. However, showrunners and Hulu have kept mum about season 3 of Tell Me Lies.

The series is adapted from Carola Lovering’s critically acclaimed novel of the same name, gaining traction across the world. This enamoring saga’s storyline was further expanded per an interview with Deadline on August 26, 2024.

The executive producer Meghan Oppenheimer teased the probability of several seasons. Now, whether she meant just season 2 or more is a vague topic. However, speaking to the publication she mentioned,

“When I pitched the show originally - it’s probably three years ago now - I had to write a pretty thorough, serious format that had possibilities for later seasons.”

When discussing Oppenheimer’s alleged plot for season 3, the executive producer mentioned having several ideas but might settle for a darker tone. Referring to season 2, Oppenheimer remarked,

“I think that a lot of people are rightfully very distraught at the end of this season, and I think some revenge needs to happen, or justice."

While the primary toxic ethos of the series will remain unaltered per Oppenheimer, if season 3 is greenlit, there could be some pretty interesting plots and subplots in store.
