Season three of "Tell Me Lies" has arrived, bringing with it a plethora of surprises that will leave fans reeling. Creator Meaghan Oppenheimer reveals that the team was driven by fan feedback to craft a specific storyline for season three, with Lucy's character being at the forefront of this endeavor.
Lucy's arc takes center stage as she navigates her complicated relationship with Stephen, one of the show's most complex characters. Grace Van Patten plays Lucy, who is initially hopeful that things will be different this time around but quickly realizes that her past mistakes are repeating themselves.
The decision to punish Lucy for her actions was largely influenced by fan commentary, which Oppenheimer believes highlights a disturbing trend of societal expectations on women. "I hear a lot of people say 'she's as bad as Stephen,' which I think is just baffling to me," she explains. "We're writing the show to make you ask yourselves at the end of the season if you feel okay with that, you know? How do you actually feel that you were so hard on this girl?"
Meanwhile, Bree, played by Cat Missal, finds herself entangled in a web of relationships and friendships that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. There are hints of a romantic connection between Bree and Alex, who is played by Costa D'Angelo, adding another layer to her tumultuous life.
Oppenheimer also notes that fans were equally harsh on Bree last season during her relationship with Oliver, highlighting the tendency for audiences to unfairly judge women in positions of vulnerability. "People were like 'oh, she knew what she was doing,' I was like 'She was 19!'", Oppenheimer recalls.
As for the rest of the gang, Wrigley finds himself on a redemption arc that will surprise fans. Spencer House reveals that playing this character has allowed him to tap into a more hopeful side of his personality.
Throughout the season, expect plenty of shocking moments and stunning revelations that will leave you questioning everything. Oppenheimer's advice for viewers? Put your phones away, put social media aside, and simply watch. "I think a lot happens that is not spoken, that are a little... you know, looks between characters that end up being big clues to things," she warns.
With all the twists and turns, season three of "Tell Me Lies" promises to be an unforgettable ride. Mark your calendars for January 13th on Hulu and Disney+, as the entire cast prepares to deliver some truly shocking performances.

i mean, steve's character is literally toxic but fans are still trashin' lucy i dont get it, ppl need 2 chill n watch the show without bringin in external expectations 
the whole thing about fans bein harsh on bree last season got me thinkin, maybe we should be more empathetic towards women who r just tryin 2 navigate life 
lucy's arc is going to be so emotional, i can already imagine myself getting all teary-eyed 
and omg bree & alex's romance is giving me LIFE 
cant wait for wrigley's redemption arc too, spencer house is going to bring so much depth to that character! 
and trust me when meaghan oppenheimer says put ur phones away, u won't wanna miss any of the shocking moments 
gotta say, I'm loving how they're pushing Lucy's character this time around. I mean, she's already got enough drama going on with Stephen, but now it feels like the whole world is judging her for past mistakes 
. I love how they're not holding back on her either - last season was already a hot mess, but this time it feels like she's really going to get her comeuppance 
. But you know what would be even better? If they explored some of the guys' emotions for once... Alex and Bree are giving me major vibes 
. He was always my fave character, and I think it's time he got his due. The whole show feels like it's building up to something huge, and I am HERE. FOR. IT 
she's like totally listening to fan feedback and making it happen 
lucy's storyline is going to be SO complicated and i am here for it 
anyway i need to get my phone away from my couch ASAP because i don't want to spoil anything 
cant wait to see what all the drama brings! 
anyway, Bree's love life is getting messy and I am SO here for Wrigley's redemption arc 
Anyway, back to "Tell Me Lies"... I'm not really sure what the big deal is about season three, but if Lucy's character arc is the focus then I guess it could be interesting... I've heard mixed reviews from friends and I don't know if I'm sold on it yet. At least the cast seems talented, right? 
. It's like, just because someone makes a mistake doesn't mean they're inherently bad people. We gotta start questioning these societal expectations that put pressure on women to be perfect all the time 
. It's like, let's have a conversation about how we can support each other, rather than tearing each other down 
.
.
. It's going to be a wild ride, but I think we can all learn a thing or two from Lucy and Bree's experiences 
.
And I love that Meaghan Oppenheimer listened to fan feedback and made Bree a more vulnerable character... it's so refreshing to see women being portrayed as humans with flaws instead of just perfect roles. 
January 13th can't come soon enough! 
She's got so much going on in her life, and I'm literally on the edge of my seat thinking about what's gonna happen with Alex. And, Wrigley's redemption arc is giving me all the feels 
. Tell Me Lies is all about complex characters and messy relationships, and I am HERE FOR IT 
.
! The rest of the gang sounds like they're in for a wild ride too 
. January 13th can't come soon enough! 
. And btw, can we talk about how unfair it is when people say "she's just as bad as Stephen"? Like, come on, that's not fair to Lucy at all 
. I love how the show's creator is trying to make us question our own reactions to these characters' actions
