‘Tell Me Lies’ S3 official trailer teases fiery return

The official trailer for ‘Tell Me Lies’ season 3 is out, previewing Lucy and Stephen’s tumultuous reunion on Hulu

Hulu has dropped the official trailer for Tell Me Lies season 3, offering a first look at the drama and emotional turmoil awaiting fans when the hit series returns on January 13, 2026. The teaser was released on December 17, 2025, and confirms the third season will launch with two episodes, kicking off an eight‑episode run on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ internationally.

The trailer puts the spotlight on Lucy Albright (played by Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (portrayed by Jackson White) as their complicated relationship once again becomes the centre of the narrative. After rekindling their romance at Baird College, they promise to try and do things differently, but past mistakes and unresolved emotions make that goal all but impossible.

From the opening moments, the teaser sets a tense and intimate tone, beginning with Lucy recording what looks to be a heartfelt apology. The season’s promotional scenes then weave between emotional confrontations, uneasy reconciliations in bed, and moments where friends confront the consequences of last year’s decisions. These glimpses hint at a spring semester filled with personal growth, betrayal and scandal that refuses to stay buried.

In addition to Van Patten and White, the ensemble cast includes Cat Missal, Spencer House, Sonia Mena, Branden Cook, Alicia Crowder and Costa D’Angelo, all of whom appear to grapple with the fallout from the previous seasons. The extended cast also features Iris Apatow in a recurring role, adding fresh intrigue to the show’s already tangled web of relationships and secrets.

The Tell Me Lies series is based on the novel by Carola Lovering, following the intense and often toxic bond between Lucy and Stephen through their formative college years and beyond. Critics and fans alike have praised the show for its raw depiction of complicated relationships and the emotional consequences of love that goes off the rails.

Social media buzz around the trailer reflects a mixture of excitement and speculation, with many viewers reacting to the dramatic tone and the way the footage hints at unresolved tensions and fresh controversy. Commenters have pointed to scenes from the teaser as signs that this season could be the most emotionally charged chapter yet, setting the stage for gripping storytelling early in the new year.

As anticipation builds for the January release, Tell Me Lies season 3 looks to elevate the stakes for its beloved and embattled characters, promising a season filled with intensity, heartbreak and drama that resonates with its devoted audience.
