Hey FilmBuzzr fam, if you’ve been counting down the days like the rest of us, stop everything—Tell Me Lies Season 3 is officially here! As of January 13, 2026, Hulu has unleashed the first two episodes of the highly anticipated third season, and the toxic vibes at Baird College are back stronger than ever. Whether you’re a longtime fan who binged Seasons 1 and 2 in one sitting or you’re just diving in, this premiere is the perfect excuse to cancel plans and dive deep into the mess.
What’s the Buzz About Tell Me Lies?
Based on Carola Lovering’s bestselling novel, Tell Me Lies is Hulu’s addictive psychological drama that chronicles the tumultuous, intoxicating relationship between Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White). Spanning years and timelines, the series explores how seemingly small choices in college lead to massive, irreversible consequences—filled with lies, manipulation, betrayal, and that can’t-look-away chemistry.
After Season 2’s explosive finale left relationships shattered (that wedding sabotage? Iconic chaos), Season 3 picks up right where the toxicity left off. Lucy and Stephen have rekindled their on-again romance just in time for spring semester, but promises to “do better” are already crumbling under past indiscretions. Lucy gets pulled into a controversy she wants no part of, while their friends deal with their own fallout: Bree navigates life post-affair, Pippa balances complicated feelings, and the whole group faces the emotional wreckage.
Creator Meaghan Oppenheimer has teased that this season pushes characters to a “point of no return,” with more introspection, consequences, and endless drama. Early reactions are calling it the most soul-searching yet—less just steamy hookups, more real emotional warfare.

The core crew is back, bringing all the messy energy:
- Grace Van Patten as Lucy Albright – the sharp, guarded protagonist caught in the cycle.
