Devotees of the gripping drama Tell Me Lies are counting down the hours until they can once again immerse themselves in the tumultuous world of Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco. The show's highly anticipated third season is poised to hit screens, continuing the story adapted from Carola Lovering's bestselling novel.
A Toxic Romance Rekindled
The series, which has captivated audiences with its raw portrayal of a destructive relationship, follows university students Lucy, played by Grace Van Patten, and Stephen, portrayed by Jackson White. Their intense and all-consuming connection, which began when they crossed paths at Baird College, has repeatedly bled into every aspect of their lives.
Employing a dual-timeline narrative, the story oscillates between the characters' university years from 2007 to 2008 and their present-day lives in 2015. The show's debut in 2022 earned a solid 75% critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while its second season was awarded an impressive 90% audience score on the same platform.
What to Expect in the New Season
According to an official synopsis from Disney+, the new chapter finds Lucy and Stephen having rekindled their chaotic romance just in time for the spring semester. "While they promise things will be different this time, past indiscretions hinder their best intentions, and Lucy finds herself embroiled in a controversy she wants nothing to do with," the preview reveals.
The repercussions of previous events also force the couple's friends to confront their own destructive patterns. As secrets simmer across the campus, the resulting fallout threatens to engulf Lucy and everyone within her orbit. A trailer released in December 2025 offered a glimpse of the coming storm, showing an emotional Lucy recording a heartfelt apology video.
Weekly Release Schedule Confirmed
For fans hoping to devour the entire season in one sitting, there is a disappointment. Disney+ will not be releasing all episodes at once. Instead, the streaming service has opted for a weekly rollout to build suspense.
The season launches on Tuesday, January 13, with the first two episodes dropping simultaneously. The remaining six episodes will then follow on a weekly basis. The full confirmed schedule is as follows:
