Tell Me Lies is over for now — however the solid already has ideas for a derivative.
Before the season 3 finale premiered on Tuesday, February 17, creator Meaghan Oppenheimer confirmed the hit Hulu series had reached a conclusion. Us Weekly spoke with Grace Van Patten, Jackson White and more about the probabilities for follow-up shows after Stephen (White) left Lucy (Van Patten) following yet one more reconciliation.
“Is Lucy done with revenge? Possibly she finds herself,” Van Patten, 29, suggested for a possible recent story line. “Now we have enough revenge.”
White was on the identical page about trying something recent if Tell Me Lies expanded with one other series. But while White, 29, didn’t see one other show centered around Stephen, he was willing to maintain it within the family.
“It’s called ‘Norah From Bayville.’ It’s my mom, [Katey Sagal], and it’s her own show,” he quipped. “She smokes cigarettes and goes to the food market and f***s along with her kids.”
Elsewhere within the finale, Wrigley’s (Spencer House) secret affair with Bree (Cat Missal) got here to light at her wedding to Evan (Branden Cook). Missal cosigned Us‘ suggestion for a derivative centered across the trio — a.k.a “the following toxic love triangle” — while Cook could see a show where Evan “finds love” again with someone recent. (Perhaps Evan’s ex Molly — played by Cook’s real-life fiancée, Katherine Hughes?)
House, meanwhile, had a more humorous take, suggesting, “I believe just Wrigley as a used automotive salesman or something and we just follow him around.”
The one individuals who were in a position to be marked secure from Stephen’s reign of terror within the finale were Pippa (Sonia Mena) and Diana (Alicia Crowder) — and the actresses would love the potential to come back back for more.
Mena pitched seeing Pippa and Diana’s “messy era,” while Crowder added, “I believe Diana goes to law school and undergrad. Then we will see how they find one another along the way in which.”
Based on Carola Lovering‘s novel of the identical name, Tell Me Lies aired for 3 seasons on Hulu. Oppenheimer confirmed on Monday, February 16, that it was her selection to finish the show.
“After three amazing seasons of Tell Me Lies, tonight’s episode can be the series finale. This was at all times the ending my writing team and I had in mind, and we’re insanely pleased with it,” she wrote via Instagram. “Your incredible response to this season inspired us to explore whether there was one other organic approach to proceed the story, but ultimately we felt it had reached its natural conclusion.”
She concluded: “My major goal has at all times been to guard the standard of the show and offer you the most effective experience I can offer you. And so, while it’s bittersweet to depart something that has been such a completely happy experience, I’m very grateful that we’re in a position to tell a whole story with an intentional ending — a privilege only a few shows get. Thanks for loving our show. We’re excited to bring you more stories within the near future.”
Oppenheimer previously spoke to Us about why it made sense to finish the story with season 3.
“When it comes to future seasons, it’s unimaginable to essentially know at this point,” Oppenheimer exclusively told Us in January. “I definitely had at all times thought this was at all times kind of the ending I’d had in mind.”
Oppenheimer didn’t rule out a return in some capability, adding, “But you never know what’s going to occur in the long run. But there’s definitely a way where I didn’t want to depart anything hanging this season. Mainly, I desired to satisfy everyone.”
Tell Me Lies is currently streaming on Hulu.
