The acclaimed and tumultuous drama Tell Me Lies has made its highly anticipated return for a third season, with critics already hailing it as the series' most compelling run yet. The show, which follows the toxic and addictive relationship between Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco, is now streaming for UK audiences.
What to Expect in the New Season
The narrative picks up immediately after the cliff-hanger finale of season two, continuing its dual-timeline structure. In the 2008 storyline, Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen (Jackson White) are back at Baird College for the spring semester, attempting to rekindle their romance with promises of change. However, past mistakes and indiscretions quickly threaten their fresh start, pulling Lucy into a campus controversy she desperately wants to avoid.
Meanwhile, the fallout from the previous year forces their circle of friends to confront their own destructive behaviours. As scandalous secrets spread across campus, the vicious consequences threaten to engulf Lucy and everyone in her orbit. Newcomer Iris Apatow joins the cast this season as college freshman Amanda.
Critical Reception and Release Schedule
Early reviews for the eight-episode season have been positive. AV Club called it the 'most interesting run of episodes yet', while Collider confirmed the series remains a 'gripping narrative' and a 'guilty-pleasure watch' that will 'pull you in and mess with your head'.
For UK viewers, the release follows a weekly schedule. The first two episodes are available to stream now. Following this, one new episode will be released every Tuesday, leading up to the season finale on February 24, 2026.
