What is Tell Me Lies about?

According to Hulu, the series follows a tumultuous but intoxicating relationship between Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco over the course of eight years. The two meet in college, and though it starts off as any typical campus romance, they quickly fall into an “addictive entanglement” that will alter their lives and those around them.

Oppenheimer told Cosmopolitan that the series is an “exploration of toxic relationships.” The showrunner said Lucy sees the red flags when she first meets Stephan, but ignores them.

Tell Me Lies cast

Grace Van Patten stars in the lead role as Lucy Albright. The well-adjusted girl from an affluent Long Island town has a cool demeanor, earning her the label of “ice queen” among her friends, according to Hulu. But beneath that coldness, Lucy is hiding a childhood trauma that leaves her disconnected from her peers. When she meets Stephen, she sees a dark streak in him that she recognizes in herself, and will inadvertently bring her demons to light.

Leading man Jackson White will portray Stephen DeMarco. The fellow college student has an enigmatic quality and is able to read people. But underneath his charm is a dark side. When he meets Lucy, he brings out a side of her that is enthralling and frightening. The two will embark on a tumultuous journey with repercussions that neither could have predicted, Hulu shares.

Rounding out the cast are Catherine Missal as Bree, Spencer House as Wrigley, Sonia Mena as Pippa, Branden Cook as Evan, Benjamin Wadsworth as Drew, Alicia Crowder as Diana.
