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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She concluded: \u201cMy 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 \u2014 a privilege very few shows get. Thank you for loving our show. We are excited to bring you more stories in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The season 3 finale scheduled to be released on Tuesday, February 17, will now be considered a series finale as well. Oppenheimer previously broke her silence on the assumption that season 3 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/tell-me-lies-most-to-least-toxic-couples-us-ranks-fictional-romances\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">of <em>Tell Me Lies<\/em> is the show\u2019s last.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of future seasons, it\u2019s impossible to really know at this point,\u201d Oppenheimer exclusively told <em>Us Weekly<\/em> in January. \u201cI certainly had always thought this was always more or less the ending I\u2019d had in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oppenheimer didn\u2019t rule out a return, adding, \u201cBut you never know what\u2019s going to happen in the future. But there\u2019s definitely a sense where I didn\u2019t want to leave anything hanging this season. Basically, I wanted to satisfy everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Based on Carola Lovering\u2019s novel of the same name, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/tell-me-lies-creator-breaks-silence-on-the-show-ending-after-season-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Tell Me Lies<\/em> follows the messy relationship<\/a> between college students Lucy (<strong>Grace Van Patten<\/strong>) and Stephen (<strong>Jackson White<\/strong>). Their problematic on-and-off romance ends up lasting eight years \u2014 and everyone around them is affected by Lucy and Stephen\u2019s ups and downs.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:66.7%;\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Josh Stringer \/ \u00a9Hulu\/Disney \/ Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Season 3, which returned in January, raised the stakes with a surprise romance involving Bree (<strong>Cat Missal<\/strong>) and Wrigley (<strong>Spencer House<\/strong>), which complicated the present timeline. Bree\u2019s wedding to Evan (<strong>Branden Cook<\/strong>) seemingly went off without a hitch despite her still having feelings for Wrigley \u2014 and previously learning that her now-husband hooked up with Lucy in college.<\/p>\n<p>Off screen, Oppenheimer spoke to <em>Us<\/em> about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/which-tv-shows-received-very-early-and-surprise-renewals-in-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how the writers\u2019 room juggles<\/a> the story lines that happen across two timelines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always had a sense of where they are in 2015 and what their dynamic is and what secrets everyone is holding. Once you at least know what people know and what they don\u2019t know, that gives you a lot of space to play,\u201d she noted in 2024. \u201cBut the way that we constructed it is we definitely did the 2008 story line first in the room. We kind of mapped out the whole season and then we did 2015 as its own thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oppenheimer continued: \u201cI knew where I wanted to end the season, though, in 2015. I knew where it needed to get to.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>After <em>Tell Me Lies<\/em> was renewed for a third season, Oppenheimer signed an overall deal with 20th Television, which is a part of Disney Television Studios.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeaghan has shepherded Tell Me Lies for two intensely addictive seasons that fueled an incredible wave of obsessive fan and social conversation,\u201d president of 20th Television Karey Burke said in a December 2024 statement. \u201cWe are thrilled to have her officially in the studio fold and at the helm of another dramatic season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The final episode of <em>Tell Me Lies<\/em> airs Tuesday, February 17, on Hulu.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/hulus-hit-series-tell-me-lies-is-officially-ending-after-season-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell Me Lies will not be coming back for more episodes after its third season.
