Tell Me Lies won’t be coming back for more episodes after its third season.
Creator Meaghan Oppenheimer confirmed on Monday, February 16, that the hit Hulu series could be concluding its run, writing via Instagram, “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. Your incredible response to this season inspired us to explore whether there was one other organic technique to proceed the story, but ultimately we felt it had reached its natural conclusion.”
She concluded: “My essential goal has at all times been to guard the standard of the show and offer you one of the best experience I can offer you. And so, while it’s bittersweet to depart something that has been such a glad experience, I’m very grateful that we’re capable of 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.”
The season 3 finale scheduled to be released on Tuesday, February 17, will now be considered a series finale as well. Oppenheimer previously broke her silence on the belief that season 3 of Tell Me Lies is the show’s last.
“By way of future seasons, it’s not possible to actually know at this point,” Oppenheimer exclusively told Us Weekly 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, adding, “But you never know what’s going to occur in the longer term. But there’s definitely a way where I didn’t want to depart anything hanging this season. Mainly, I desired to satisfy everyone.”
Based on Carola Lovering’s novel of the identical name, Tell Me Lies follows the messy relationship between college students Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen (Jackson White). Their problematic on-and-off romance finally ends up lasting eight years — and everybody around them is affected by Lucy and Stephen’s ups and downs.
Season 3, which returned in January, raised the stakes with a surprise romance involving Bree (Cat Missal) and Wrigley (Spencer House), which complicated the current timeline. Bree’s wedding to Evan (Branden Cook) seemingly went off and not using a hitch despite her still having feelings for Wrigley — and previously learning that her now-husband attached with Lucy in college.
Off screen, Oppenheimer spoke to Us about how the writers’ room juggles the story lines that occur across two timelines.
“I at all times had a way of where they’re in 2015 and what their dynamic is and what secrets everyone seems to be holding. When you at the very least know what people know and what they don’t know, that offers you a whole lot of space to play,” she noted in 2024. “But the way in which that we constructed it’s we definitely did the 2008 story line first within the room. We form of mapped out the entire season after which we did 2015 as its own thing.”
Oppenheimer continued: “I knew where I desired to end the season, though, in 2015. I knew where it needed to get to.”
After Tell Me Lies was renewed for a 3rd season, Oppenheimer signed an overall take care of twentieth Television, which is part of Disney Television Studios.
“Meaghan has shepherded Tell Me Lies for 2 intensely addictive seasons that fueled an incredible wave of obsessive fan and social conversation,” president of twentieth Television Karey Burke said in a December 2024 statement. “We’re thrilled to have her officially within the studio fold and on the helm of one other dramatic season.”
The ultimate episode of Tell Me Lies airs Tuesday, February 17, on Hulu.
