Hulu’s Psychological Thriller Featuring TV’s Most Toxic Couple Is Already A Streaming Sensation

Hulu’s psychological drama, Tell Me Lies, is quickly becoming a hit after the release of its newest season. The show is set in the late 2000s and follows the complicated, years-long relationship between college students Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White). Season 3 of Tell Me Lies premiered on January 13, 2026, with three episodes available to stream.

According to FlixPatrol, Tell Me Lies is now the most popular show on Disney+ globally, after the release of its third season. As of January 15, 2026, it’s the top show across all of Disney’s streaming platforms, including Disney+ and Hulu. The series currently ranks number one in 22 countries, such as Australia, Canada, Bulgaria, New Zealand, and Norway.

The show jumps between two time periods – 2008 and 2015 – and reveals how past events continue to affect the characters and their relationships in the present. This creates a dramatic and tangled web of lies, secrets, and intense emotions.

The show’s first three episodes re-establish the characters and their usual dynamics, while also raising the tension and drama. This is particularly true for Lucy and Stephen, whose turbulent relationship affects everyone nearby. The series continues to deliver intense psychological suspense, keeping viewers worldwide hooked.

The show is benefiting from strong reactions from both critics and viewers. Although Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t have enough reviews yet to give an overall score, the four reviews available for season 3 are all positive. Currently, IMDb ratings are also high: episodes 1 and 2 of season 3 have an 8.5/10, and episode 3 has an 8.9/10.

The new Hulu series is already a huge success, quickly becoming popular with viewers after its recent return. With fresh episodes released each week, the show is expected to maintain this momentum as the complex and dramatic love story of Lucy and Stephen continues to unfold.

As a huge fan, I can’t wait to see the final five episodes of Tell Me Lies! It’s already doing so well on streaming, and I’m totally hooked on the drama. Even though the central relationship is messy and, let’s be honest, pretty toxic, it’s impossible to look away. I’m expecting a lot more intense moments as the story unfolds!

New episodes of Tell Me Lies season 3 air Tuesdays on Hulu and Disney+.
