Tell Me Lies Is an Erotic Thriller on Hulu That Keeps Getting Better

Adapted from Carola Lovering's novel, Tell Me Lies arrived on Hulu in 2022 as an erotic thriller that leans into sex, intense connections and sharp twists. Four years after Season 1 premiered, the series has only grown more compelling, building layers of desire and intimacy rather than relying on titillation alone.

The story follows Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten), who falls for Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White) at Baird College. Their relationship is the center of several volatile entanglements—Bree (Catherine Missal) and Evan (Branden Cook) have their own fraught storyline, and Pippa (Sonia Mena) and Wrigley (Spencer House) are also explored—while the show probes topics such as consent and what people actually want from relationships.

Season 1 unfolds around a dark love triangle, Season 2 deepens the complications (including a problematic affair for Bree), and Season 3, which premiered on Hulu in January 2026, leaves the characters in greater messes; Season 1 has 10 episodes and Seasons 2 and 3 have eight each.
