The drama keeps pulling viewers back in with every twisted turn, and Season 3 of Tell Me Lies has delivered plenty of those moments. Lucy and Stephen’s messy dynamic, the Baird College chaos, and all the lingering secrets have fans glued to Hulu every week. But as the season winds down, one question keeps popping up in group chats and comment sections: Is there an Episode 9 waiting after the latest drop?
Short answer upfront—no, there isn’t an Episode 9 in Season 3. The season wraps up with just eight episodes total, matching the structure of Season 2. Episode 8, which hit Hulu on February 17, 2026, serves as the finale for this chapter. That means once the credits roll on that last one, the season ends right there—no extra installment sneaking in later.
Breaking down the episode count and schedule
Season 3 kicked off strong on January 13, 2026, with the first three episodes dropping at once to hook everyone right away. From there, Hulu stuck to a weekly Tuesday release pattern (technically midnight ET, so late Monday nights for some time zones). Here’s how it played out:
- Episodes 1–3: January 13, 2026
- Episode 4: January 20, 2026
- Episode 5: January 27, 2026
- Episode 6: February 3, 2026
- Episode 7: February 10, 2026
- Episode 8 (finale): February 17, 2026
Eight episodes in total. No surprises beyond that. Sources like Decider, Cosmopolitan, and even Wikipedia’s page on the show all confirm this count, and Hulu’s own guides lined up the same way.
Why only eight?
Compared to Season 1’s longer run of 10 episodes, Seasons 2 and 3 both settled on eight. It feels tighter, more focused on wrapping arcs without dragging things out. And speaking of wrapping up—showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer dropped big news right before the finale aired. She shared on Instagram that Episode 8 doubles as the series finale. No Season 4 is coming. The story reaches its planned conclusion here, even though the fan response to Season 3 got people thinking about possible extensions. Ultimately, the team decided it hit the natural endpoint they always envisioned.
That announcement hit hard for longtime viewers invested in Lucy, Stephen, and the whole toxic crew. But it also brings a sense of closure to the lies, betrayals, and emotional rollercoasters that defined the show.
Where to catch up or rewatch
If the finale left things unresolved in the best (or worst) way, the full series is streaming on Hulu right now. International fans can find it on Disney+ in many regions. Binge-watching the earlier seasons before diving into Season 3 highlights just how far these characters have spiraled—and why the ending packs such a punch.
