Tell Me Lies Season 2 is coming, Hulu announced on Instagram, over a month after the season finale of the show aired. The announcement was accompanied by a montage of our favorite Tell Me Lies characters. Fans of the program, which centers on the endearing and deceptive Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White) and Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten), whose fascination with Stephen turns her into a false person as her dependence on him gets out of hand.
Van Patten sympathized with Lucy but acknowledged that it was difficult to watch her descend further into the destructiveness of her and Stephen’s relationship. It’s really difficult to see through the fog, she said, and “I’ve lost myself in a position before where you don’t know whether feelings are authentic and coming from your heart or what feelings are coming from the people around you.”
As “Tell Me Lies” Season 1 came to a close, we saw all the characters eight years in the future, where we left off in Episode 1, celebrating Evan (Branden Cook) and Bree’s engagement, while Lucy gets to know Stephen’s fiancée Lydia (Natalee Linez), who also happens to be her ex-best friend. Already, there are so many questions. Here is what is currently known about Season 2.
What is the release date for Tell Me Lies Season 2?
Season 2 of “Tell Me Lies” has not yet received a release date from Hulu as of December 21. However, history frequently provides clues as to what the potential timeline might be. The first three seasons of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the main program on Hulu, were released one year apart. The fourth season of many programs had to be delayed due to the epidemic until producers found a means for the cast to gather securely, which resulted in a four-year delay for fans.
According to what we know, Hulu approved “Tell Me Lies” Season 1 in August 2021. It took 13 months from when it was given the green light to when fans were able to watch it on their screens because the first season premiered in September of 2022. That hopefully signifies that Season 2 will eventually debut at the end of 2023 or the start of 2024.
What is the plot of Tell Me Lies Season 2?
Showrunner and executive producer Meaghan Oppenheimer has dropped numerous hints about the Season 2 of “Tell Me Lies,” despite the fact that nothing specific has been revealed. Oppenheimer hinted additional plots and more before Season 2 was approved, telling Decider, “I have a lot of plans for both my undergraduate years and my adult life. It will be interesting to learn more about Lucy’s life as an adult and observe how she responds when Stephen re-enters her life after a long absence.”
Additionally, viewers are curious about that bizarre scene in the Season 1 finale where Evan and Lucy woke up in the same bed. Bree has no idea that her buddy formerly had a sexual relationship with her fiance, based on everyone’s behavior at the upcoming engagement celebration. Oppenheimer believed that the moment was necessary because Evan was morally upright. Oppenheimer explained his reasoning for the dramatic and unexpected sequence by stating that “Evan was so good all season, and no one’s that good all the time.” Of course, there should also be more attention paid to Lucy’s friendships and undoing some of the harm she has caused. According to Oppenheimer, “I want to see a lot more of the ensemble characters.” “Much more Bree, much more Evan, much more Pippa, much more Wrigley.”
Who is in the cast of Tell Me Lies Season 2?
While it’s likely that Season 2 may have some new cast members, Meaghan Oppenheimer’s statements indicate that the majority of the original ensemble will remain. As a result, we can anticipate Grace Van Patten as Lucy and Jackson White as Stephen to return. The supporting cast members, including Catherine Missal as Bree, Spencer House as Wrigley, Sonia Mena as Pippa, Branden Cook as Evan, and Alicia Crowder as Diana, are also anticipated to make a comeback. Natalee Linez, who plays Lydia, may not be in the main cast but will undoubtedly make an appearance at some point given we already know she will eventually become engaged to Stephen.
The character played by Benjamin Wadsworth, Drew, has many fans with questions. Fans were concerned about him because he didn’t attend the engagement party and because Evan claimed that his brother Wrigley was furious because Drew’s birthday was the day before. Redditor u/umameroni speculated, “I suppose they’re estranged, therefore his birthday is terrible for Wrigley.” Although the character isn’t in the book, his existence in the series begs for explanations, and hopefully Wadsworth’s character will return in Season 2 to do so.
Who is showrunning, directing and producing Tell Me Lies Season 2?
In addition to being the showrunner of “Tell Me Lies,” Meaghan Oppenheimer also penned the season’s opening and concluding episodes. Along with her production business, Belletrist, co-founder Karah Preiss, and Director of Development Matt Matruski, Emma Roberts serves as the show’s executive producer. To exclusively focus on transforming books into television adaptations, they founded Belletrist TV. Their first collaboration with Hulu was on Carola Lovering’s “Tell Me Lies.” Sam Schlaifer of Vice Media’s Refinery29 and Rebelle Media’s Laura Lewis and Stephanie Noonan are additional executive producers of the show. Additionally cited as a consultant producer is author Lovering.
Season 1 directors for the 20th Century Fox production included Sam Boyd, Erin Feeley, Ed Lilly, Isabel Sandoval, and Robin Wright. In the new Hulu series “Nine Perfect Strangers,” which also stars Nicole Kidman, Melissa McCarthy, and Michael Shannon, Grace Van Patten is being directed by Jonathan Levine, who also serves as the series’ executive producer and helmed the pilot episode. If any of them return for Season 2, it is yet to be determined.
