Based on Carola Lovering’s bestselling novel, the series continues to dissect the destructive, years-long entanglement between Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White), now rekindled in the spring semester at fictional Baird College.

As old wounds reopen and consequences mount, the arrival of intriguing new characters promises to upend fragile dynamics and introduce layers of deception.

Season 3 picks up in the aftermath of Season 2’s explosive fallout, with Lucy and Stephen attempting to restart their tumultuous romance despite mounting resentment and betrayal.

The narrative weaves between timelines, expanding beyond the familiar 2007 college years and 2015 aftermath to explore deeper emotional territory.

Creators have teased a “point of no return,” where characters finally confront real repercussions for their actions—described by stars as “chaotic,” “peak worst decisions,” and full of surprises that fans won’t see coming. Themes of manipulation, guilt, and unresolved trauma intensify, with Stephen edging closer to “super villain” territory in his schemes.

Among the most buzzed-about additions are two key new characters labeled as “complicated” for their ability to disrupt existing relationships:

• Costa D’Angelo as Alex — A series regular portraying a psychology grad student and part-time drug dealer. Alex shares a tangled, complicated history with returning character Bree (Catherine Missal), stemming from their shared past in the foster care system. He initially appears aloof and borderline rude, but layers reveal hidden depths. Early episodes show him calling out Lucy’s apparent fear of Stephen and potentially sparking new tensions or romantic intrigue.
• Iris Apatow as Amanda — In a recurring role, Apatow (daughter of Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann) plays a bubbly, instantly likable college freshman harboring a major secret. Her fragile exterior and hidden truths position her as a classic catalyst for chaos—catching the eye of figures like Oliver (Tom Ellis) and forcing the group to question appearances.

Other new or expanded roles include Emily Meade as Mary and Michelle Nolden as Dean, adding to the ensemble’s web of intrigue.

The core cast returns intact: Grace Van Patten (Lucy), Jackson White (Stephen), Catherine Missal (Bree), Spencer House (Wrigley), Sonia Mena (Pippa), Branden Cook (Evan), Alicia Crowder (Diana), and Tom Ellis (Oliver). Their performances continue to drive the show’s addictive portrayal of toxic college relationships and long-term fallout.

With eight episodes total, new installments drop weekly after the premiere, culminating in a finale around late February. Seasons 1 and 2 remain available for binge-watching to refresh on the lies that built to this point. As Baird College’s spring semester unfolds, Tell Me Lies Season 3 delivers more obsession, betrayal, and emotional wreckage—proving some connections are impossible to escape.
