“Tell Me Lies” Ends After Three Seasons
Following the release of the season three finale of the hit drama series, “Tell Me Lies”, the show’s creator, Meaghan Oppenheimer, has confirmed that the show has now come to an end.
“Tell Me Lies” follows a tumultuous but intoxicating relationship as it unfolds over the course of 8 years. When Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco meet at college, they are at that formative age when seemingly mundane choices lead the way to irrevocable consequences. Although their relationship begins like any typical campus romance, they quickly fall into an addictive entanglement that will permanently alter not only their lives, but the lives of everyone around them.
Meaghan took to Instagram to confirm the show won’t be returning for a fourth season:
After three amazing seasons of Tell Me Lies, tonight’s episode will be the series finale. This was always the ending my writing team and I had in mind, and we are insanely proud of it. Your incredible response to this season inspired us to explore whether there was another organic way to continue the story, but ultimately we felt it had reached its natural conclusion. My main goal has always been to protect the quality of the show and give you the best experience I can give you. And so, while it is bittersweet to leave something that has been such a happy experience, I am very grateful that we are able to tell a complete story with an intentional ending – a privilege very few shows get. Thank you for loving our show. We are excited to bring you more stories in the near future.
“Tell Me Lies” stars Grace Van Patten, Jackson White, Cat Missal, Spencer House, Sonia Mena, Branden Cook, Alicia Crowder, and Costa D’Angelo.
Meaghan Oppenheimer serves as executive producer & showrunner. Emma Roberts, co-founder Karah Preiss and Matt Matruski executive produce under their Belletrist banner, and Laura Lewis executive produces for Rebelle Media. Shannon Gibson, Stephanie Noonan and Sam Schlaifer also serve as executive producers, and Tyne Rafaeli is executive producer & director. Adapted from Carola Lovering’s novel of the same name, Lovering serves as a consulting producer. The Hulu Original series is produced by 20th Television.
All three seasons of “Tell Me Lies” are available to stream now on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ around the world.
Roger’s Take: One of the most annoying things about many modern television shows is that they often just “end”, usually through a cancellation and don’t get to have a proper ending. So, for the creators to go into the third season with the mindset that this was going to be the conclusion to the story, and to not give into the temptation to continue while the going is good, is fantastic.
No doubt many fans of “Tell Me Lies” are going to be upset that the show is ending, but at least now there is a complete story, which makes it much more compelling from the point of view of a new viewer, since they know now that there is a full story arc, without getting to the finale and never knowing what happens next.
