What This Means For Tell Me Lies Season 3

Hulu has not announced whetherTell Me Liesseason 3 will serve as the adaptation’s farewell. The streamer could be waiting to make that announcement alongside a release date. In any case, it does sound like the upcoming episodes have been written with a sense of finality in mind. Ellis also mentions that it may be the darkest yet, with unexpected partnerships.

After theshocking end toTell Me Liesseason 2, that’s something of a tall task. The previous installment concluded with the main characters reuniting for the wedding of Evan (Branden Cook) and Bree (Catherine Missal) in the 2015 timeline. Stephen waits until the big day to drop the bomb that Evan, one of his best friends, had a one-night stand with Lucy in the late 2000s.

Our Take On Tell Me Lies Season 3 Being The Last

Tell Me Liesseason 2 marked an increase in interest for the Hulu Original, with Lucy and Stephen’s twisty turns seeing an increase in viewership and in critical acclaim. It’d be unusual for a streaming series to bow out just as it is getting good. But if it’s what’s best for the story, then it’s better than prolonging the drama for the sake of it.
