Not your typical love story. Tell Me Lies is full of romance and sex — but the relationship at the center of the upcoming Hulu TV show isn’t one viewers should root for.
Tell Me Lies, which is based on Carola Lovering‘s novel of the same title, follows college students Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco who “quickly fall into an addictive entanglement” that “will permanently alter their lives and the lives of everyone” around them, according to Hulu’s synopsis.
Showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer teased that the connection between the pair isn’t meant to be aspirational. “Tell Me Lies is an exploration of toxic relationships and the ways we undermine ourselves when we fall for the wrong people,” she told Cosmopolitan in August 2022. “When Lucy meets Stephen she sees all the red flags, but she ignores them—and it sets her down a path that completely derails her.”
Oppenheimer, who is an executive producer on the project alongside Emma Roberts, hoped that viewers would be able to relate to the emotional storytelling.
“I think if we’re honest, most of us have had a relationship that damages us, yet for whatever reason we can’t walk away from it,” she continued. “When you’re in a dynamic that’s mentally or emotionally abusive, you begin to accept treatment that you never thought you would accept. To me, it’s such a universally relatable subject, but we don’t talk openly about it because it feels shameful.”
The screenwriter concluded: “That was what I loved about Carola Lovering’s book — she captured that feeling of isolation in such a visceral way. So I’m hoping the show will open up conversations where people can talk about these things without feeling judged. Because most of us have had a Stephen in our lives at some point.”

his surprise, his influencer girlfriend Clementine (Madelaine Petsch, “Riverdale”) is less than impressed by the locale. So, naturally, she storms out, too. (The restaurant’s proudly prominent product placement throughout makes for a presumably unintentional but highly entertaining contrast when the characters are forced to get their coffee at “Starcups.”)A miserable and drunken Griffin soon winds up at Margot’s place, because — wait for it — they both live at 15 Maple Drive.
Emily Longeretta When Emma Roberts and Meaghan Oppenheimer read Carola Lovering’s 2018 book “Tell Me Lies,” they were hooked, likely for the same reason that fans were: It told the story of a woman falling for a very toxic man who turns her life upside down. The show, however, took a bit of a different approach. Instead of being told from both points of view, the Hulu drama is told strictly from Lucy’s (Grace Van Patten), as she falls for manipulative Stephen (Jackson White). The other difference is that the leading man is a less controlling than in the book — he’s toxic and abusive, Oppenheimer admits, but they had to find a way to make him likable.
Based on the novel of the same name by Carola Lovering, the new Hulu drama “Tell Me Lies” follows the toxic relationship between Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten, “Nine Perfect Strangers”) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White), over the course of eight years, starting when they first meet during college. Meaghan Oppenheimer (“Queen America”) serves as showrunner for the racy series, with Emma Roberts executive producing with her partner Sarah Preiss under their Belletrist Productions banner. The show’s star, Grace Van Patten, first got the taste for acting in an episode of “The Sopranos” directed by her father Tim Van Patten.
