Two years ago, “Tell Me Lies” emerged as one of Hulu‘s most streamed original series, in no small part to its steamy storyline. Based on Carola Lovering‘s 2018 novel of the same name, the show chronicles an addictive and tumultuous eight-year relationship between two undergrads at a fictional upstate New York college, and the damage it causes both them and their social circles. Â

Season 2 picks up where Season 1 left off, with Grace Van Patten‘s Lucy Albright and Jackson White‘s Stephen DeMarco not on speaking terms after their dramatic breakup the previous academic year. But of course, old habits die hard, and the two can’t help themselves around each other, even if it means further fallout with those around them.
Here’s the official synopsis for “Tell Me Lies” S2, courtesy of Hulu:
