The highly anticipated third season of the addictive drama Tell Me Lies has officially arrived, with critics already hailing it as the series' most compelling run yet. The show, which follows the toxic and tumultuous relationship between Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco, returns to pick up immediately after the cliffhanger that concluded season two.
What to Expect in the New Season
The narrative once again unfolds across two timelines. In the present day of 2015, the story continues directly from the previous season's dramatic finale. Meanwhile, the 2008 timeline sees Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen (Jackson White) back at Baird College for the spring semester, attempting to rekindle their romance.
According to the official synopsis, the pair promise that things will be different this time. However, their best intentions are quickly derailed by past indiscretions. Lucy finds herself dragged into a campus controversy she desperately wants to avoid, while the disastrous repercussions from the previous year force their circle of friends to confront their own destructive behaviours.
As scandalous secrets begin to fester across the university campus, the vicious consequences threaten not only Lucy but everyone in her orbit. The core cast, including Cat Missal, Spencer House, Sonia Mena, Branden Cook, Alicia Crowder, and Costa D’Angelo, all return. This season also welcomes a new face: Iris Apatow joins as college freshman Amanda.
Critical Reception and Release Schedule
Early reviews for the eight-part season have been largely positive. AV Club described it as the "most interesting run of episodes yet", though it noted that showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer's attempts to tackle larger societal issues met with varying degrees of success. Meanwhile, Collider confirmed the show remains a "guilty-pleasure watch" that will "pull you in, mess with your head".
For UK viewers eager to dive back into the drama, the release schedule is straightforward. The first two episodes of Tell Me Lies season three are available to stream now. Following this, a brand new episode will be released every single Tuesday, leading up to the season finale on February 24.
