Grace Van Patten Stars in Hulu's Twisted New Romance Series "Tell Me Lies"

In a recently announced coming-of-age romance, Hulu takes a twisted take on the typical college romance, setting the stage for an emotional roller coaster fueled by passion and betrayal. On August 2, the streaming platform released the trailer for "Tell Me Lies," based on Carola Lovering's 2018 bestselling novel. The 10-episode series tells the story of a young college student named Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) who finds herself in a toxic relationship that's too engrossing to get out of.

""Tell Me Lies" follows a tumultuous but intoxicating relationship that spans 8 years," reads the show's synopsis. "When she meets Stephen, Lucy sees a dark side in him that she recognizes in herself, and will inadvertently bring her demons to light...Together, they will embark on a tumultuous journey, with repercussions that 'neither could have foreseen."

As Lucy's relationship with her campus crush, Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White), grows, she realizes that the negative effects of their entanglement will permanently damage both their lives and that of everyone around them.

Cast of "Tell Me Lies"

'Nine Perfect Strangers' star Grace Van Patten will play Lucy Albright, a "protected but well-adjusted girl" from a wealthy Long Island family. While her cool exterior has earned her the title "Ice Queen", Lucy's confidence is a cover for her unresolved childhood trauma. Alongside Van Patten's Lucy, Jackson White will play Stephen DeMarco, a charming and fiercely intelligent man with an "enigmatic quality." When Lucy discovers Stephen's dark side, she is terrified to see her own darkness unleashed.

The cast will also include Catherine Missal as Bree, Lucy's best friend; Spencer House as Wrigley, an athlete struggling with hidden insecurities; Sonia Mena as Pippa, Lucy's enemy; Branden Cook as Evan, a "nice guy" with repressed anger issues; Benjamin Wadsworth of "Teen Wolf" as Wrigley's shy younger brother Drew; and "The Society's" Alicia Crowder as Diana, an Audrey Hepburn personality with strong ties to Stephen's past.

The series is produced by Emma Roberts, Karah Preiss and Meaghan Oppenheimer, who is also the showrunner.
