The steamy and compulsive drama that has viewers hooked, 'Tell Me Lies', has officially returned for its highly anticipated third season on Disney+. The streaming platform released the first three episodes of the new season on Tuesday, 13th January 2026, sending fans into a frenzy.
A Toxic Romance Continues to Unravel
Based on Carola Lovering's bestselling novel, the series charts the turbulent, eight-year relationship between college freshman Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and junior student Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White). Set in the late 2000s, their insatiable yet deeply unhealthy attraction spirals, affecting everyone around them.
Season two saw Lucy attempting to break free from a cycle of deceit, but the new season promises to plunge their dynamic to even more dysfunctional depths. Lead actress Grace Van Patten teased to Deadline that Lucy begins the season in denial, believing things will be different, but quickly realises she's trapped in a vicious cycle. "They really are dealing with their separate emotions while still being connected," she revealed, hinting at a season filled with active panic and tension.
New Cast Additions and Fan Adoration
Created by Meaghan Oppenheimer, the ensemble cast includes Catherine Missal, Spencer House, Sonia Mena, Branden Cook, and Alicia Crowder. The show previously added Tom Ellis in a main role for season two, and season three welcomes Iris Apatow as a new character named Amanda.
The series has garnered a devoted following, with fans praising its gripping portrayal of drama, secrets, and scandal. Reviews on platforms like IMDb are glowing, with one viewer who rated it 10/10 declaring they were "obsessed!" after bingeing the new episodes. "I desperately wanted more," they wrote, highlighting Van Patten's compelling performance. Another fan called the show "perfect" and their favourite ever, while a third admitted to being completely "addicted," having re-watched the series four times.
