Okay, real talk—Tell Me Lies fans are losing it after that Season 2 finale. Lucy and Stephen’s toxic rollercoaster? Still running full speed. And now, Hulu’s dropping bombs: production’s done, first-look pics are out, and the drama’s about to hit harder than ever. Here’s everything going down with Tell Me Lies Season 3—when it drops, who’s back, and what fresh hell these characters are walking into. (Spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution!)
When’s Tell Me Lies Season 3 Coming Out?
Mark January 13, 2026 on the calendar in red ink. That’s when Hulu unleashes the first two episodes of Season 3. After that, it’s one new episode every week, with the finale landing February 24, 2026. Eight episodes total—just enough to wreck your sleep schedule.
Filming wrapped in August 2025, so the team’s had time to polish every messy fight, tearful confession, and jaw-dropping betrayal. Winter TV just got a whole lot steamier.
Who’s Back? Cast Updates
The whole Baird College crew is returning, and yeah, the chemistry’s still electric—especially between the leads.
- Grace Van Patten as Lucy Albright: still spiraling, still magnetic.
- Jackson White as Stephen DeMarco: charming, dangerous, and way too good at lying.
- Spencer House as Wylie: the voice of reason nobody listens to.
- Catherine Missal as Pippa: brace for her glow-up (and drama).
- Sonia Mena as Sasha: sharp-tongued and done with everyone’s nonsense.
- Branden Cook as Drew: carrying guilt like a backpack.
- Alicia Crowder as Diana: queen bee with secrets that could burn it all down.
First-look images show Katherine Hughes back in the mix too, and fans are already dissecting every glance. No major new cast members announced yet, but set leaks hint at surprise cameos. Also? Grace and Jackson’s real-life vibe keeps the internet buzzing—makes the on-screen tension feel that much more real.
Plot Scoop: What’s Happening in Season 3?
Season 3 picks up immediately after that reunion bombshell. Lucy and Stephen are back together—again—and it’s messier than ever. Eight years of damage, secrets, and bad decisions are about to explode.
Here’s what’s confirmed:
- Pippa and Diana are dating. Yes, that Diana. The sorority rival? Now Pippa’s girlfriend. Talk about a plot twist.
- Flashbacks dive into Stephen’s revenge against Bree and Evan—ending with a wedding-day catastrophe that changes everything.
- Evan’s one-night stand with Lucy? Stephen knows. And he’s weaponizing it.
- Lydia’s origin story with Stephen finally gets told—how these two even happened is darker than anyone expected.
Showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer says this season goes deeper into “sexual and psychological manipulation” than before. It’s not just cheating and lies anymore—it’s obsession, control, and the quiet ways people destroy each other without raising their voice.
The show’s loosely based on Carola Lovering’s book, but Season 3 is going full original. That means no safety net. Anything can happen.
