Will There Be a Tell Me Lies Season 3? Creator Hints at a “Time Jump” in New Season

Take a moment to breathe. Following that intense season finale, you might find yourself in need of a breather… but the question looming in your thoughts might just be: when will Tell Me Lies Season 3 be released?

Hulu and Disney Plus have certainly raised the stakes with Season 2 of their captivating series, Tell Me Lies. Adapted from Carola Lovering’s novel, the show focuses on Lucy (played by Grace Van Patten) and Stephen (Jackson White), delving into the complexities of their fraught and toxic relationship.

The dramatic events of Season 2 unfolded relentlessly, revealing the fate of Drew (RIP), while the intricacies of Marianne and Oliver’s challenging open relationship with Bree came to light. In a shocking conclusion, Bree discovered Lucy’s affair with Evan in the final moments of the season.

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably anxiously wondering what happens next! There won’t be an Episode 9, but we do have some tentative updates regarding the possibility of Tell Me Lies Season 3.

Is Tell Me Lies Season 3 in the works?

As it stands, Tell Me Lies Season 3 has not yet received official confirmation from Hulu, but the show’s creator expresses a desire to further develop the narrative, indicating a possibility for renewal.

Keep in mind, the debut season was launched in September 2022, and it took almost two years for the following season to be produced and released on streaming platforms.

Ultimately, the future of Tell Me Lies depends on its performance metrics. It didn’t feature on Nielsen’s Top 10 list during the period of September 9-15 (which might be seen as an unfavorable indicator), although the audience share for Disney Plus experienced a slight uptick of 5.2% in the latest Gauge report.

This increase is largely attributed to the ongoing success of Bluey in the ratings, but with Hulu’s content now accessible through Disney, it’s possible Tell Me Lies contributed, even if marginally.

When can we expect a Tell Me Lies Season 3 release date?

At this moment, there is no confirmed release date for Tell Me Lies Season 3, primarily due to the uncertainty surrounding its potential continuation!

If the series moves forward, audiences are hopeful that the new season might be available by late 2025, aiming to avoid another lengthy wait like experienced between the first two seasons.

Should Season 3 commence production, scheduling will need to accommodate the existing commitments of the cast, so be sure to keep this page saved for timely updates as soon as new details become available.

Who can fans expect to see return in Season 3?

Grace Van Patten (Lucy) and Jackson White (Stephen) are anticipated to reprise their roles in Tell Me Lies Season 3, along with the following cast members:

Catherine Missal as Bree
Spencer House as Wrigley
Sonia Mena as Pippa
Branden Cook as Evan
Alicia Crowder as Diana
Gabriella Pession as Marianne
Thomas Doherty as Leo

Two characters we likely won’t see return are Drew (Benjamin Wadsworth) and Oliver (Tom Ellis). Although Drew made a brief appearance in the finale, his storyline culminated in a tragic death, shedding light on Wrigley’s grief in the present timeline.

Regarding Oliver, creator Meghan Oppenheimer has confirmed he will not be returning. In an interview with Variety, she noted, “I don’t believe so. Tom was interested in only doing one season.” She continued, “We concluded his narrative effectively. There’s room for more storylines with Marianne, but Oliver’s journey feels resolved.”

What can we expect in Tell Me Lies Season 3?

To start with, the new season will likely delve into the repercussions of that jaw-dropping finale scene: Stephen sharing a recording with Bree of Evan confessing to his infidelity with Lucy… on their wedding day!

While there remains ample ground to cover regarding Stephen and Lucy’s college years, Oppenheimer hinted at a shift towards exploring more current narratives in upcoming seasons.

“I anticipate a time jump,” she revealed, indicating that while some 2008 storylines will conclude, there will likely be a greater emphasis on the 2015 timeline going forward.

In previous remarks, she mentioned that Season 3 would explore “new territory… Certain characters deserve resolution that I believe needs addressing if we proceed with Season 3. There’s endless potential for storytelling.”
