Summer Streamin' 24 - Tell Me Lies - Season Two

Tell Me Lies is back for a second season. I was late to the party for season one, then season two just dropped at the start of last month. Now after eight episodes, this high level college girl drama is over.

Sex, lies and betrayal, they are the main themes of Tell Me Lies season two. Based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Carola Lovering. The series is a Hulu original, however again in Australia, it streams on Disney+.

Starring Grace Van Patten, Jackson White, Catherine Missal, Spencer House, Sonia Mena, Branden Cook, Alicia Crowder, and Tom Ellis. Thomas Doherty from the recent Gossip Girls reboot, joins the cast, as does Jacob Rodriguez & Katherine Hughes. 

The second series continues to follow the relationship/drama between Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco as it unfolds over the course of eight years after meeting at college. We kick off season two, returning to Baird for her sophomore year, Lucy tries to avoid drama, while also harbouring a troubling secret from Bree. Adopting a new look, Pippa tries to reinvent herself but is getting hate from Wrigley's football team. Stephen and Diana become Barid's new it couple.


There is no word about a third season, however there appears to be enough online hype, that the series may return for another season. Hulu has a fair amount of content on their plate right now, with the big runaway success being, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Yes I know I need to finish that ASAP!

Finale, Don't Struggle Like That, Or I Will Only Love You More continues to dial up the drama, however for me, I think I preferred the binge of the first season over week-to-week one episode at a time.

Lucy's drama in season two just all felt a bit too much at times. She is kinda annoying AF and Stephen. EEEHHHHH

Either way this is an easy watch with some eye candy along with classic tunes thrown into the soundtrack.

Tell Me Lies two seasons stream on Disney+ alongside English Teacher, Reasonable Doubt, Grotesquerie and homegrown series, Last Days of the Space Age.
