Los Angeles, United States– The Hulu romantic drama “Tell Me Lies” has officially ended with its third-season finale, released February 17, 2026, after creator Meaghan Oppenheimer confirmed the episode would serve as the series’ conclusion. The decision, announced hours before the finale premiered, reflects what Oppenheimer described as the story’s intended and natural endpoint, according to multiple media reports.
Oppenheimer said the writing team had long envisioned a three-season arc and ultimately chose to preserve the show’s narrative integrity rather than extend the storyline without purpose. She acknowledged that strong audience engagement prompted discussions about continuing the series but concluded the plot had reached a complete resolution.
Based on Carola Lovering’s 2018 novel, the series follows the volatile, years-long relationship between college students Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco and the impact of their actions on a close group of friends. The ensemble cast includes Grace Van Patten, Jackson White, Catherine Missal, and others, with storylines spanning multiple timelines centered on campus life and its aftermath.
The finale resolves several long-running character arcs and confirms there are no current plans for a fourth season, ending speculation about the show’s future. The concluding episode debuted at midnight Eastern Time on Hulu, bringing the drama to what producers described as a deliberate and complete close.
Oppenheimer characterized the ending as bittersweet while expressing gratitude to viewers and collaborators, noting that few television projects are able to deliver a fully intentional conclusion. Cast members similarly described the finale as emotional, marking the completion of a story developed across three seasons.
The series’ conclusion finalizes a narrative that maintained strong fan engagement and social conversation throughout its run, even as creators weighed whether additional seasons could be justified creatively. Producers ultimately prioritized a definitive ending over further expansion.
