It's time to say goodbye to the most toxic fictional boyfriend to ever grace our TV screens, Stephen DeMarco.
"Tell Me Lies" creator and showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer confirmed ahead of the Season 3 finale on Monday, Feb. 16, that the show will not be renewed for a fourth season.
"After three amazing seasons of Tell Me Lies, tonight's episode will be the series finale. This was always the ending my writing team and I had in mind, and we are insanely proud of it," Oppenheimer wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the cast. "Your incredible response to this season inspired us to explore whether there was another organic way to continue the story, but ultimately we felt it had reached its natural conclusion."
"Tell Me Lies," based on Carola Lovering's 2018 novel of the same name and created for television by Oppenheimer, has captured a passionate fanbase of readers of the book and series-only viewers alike over its too-realistic portrayal of the toxic ex or situationship in Stephen and Lucy, played by Grace Van Patten, who won't quit each other, no matter how low their relationship goes.

To celebrate the new season, the cast of "Tell Me Lies," including stars Grace Van Patten and Jackson White, hit New York City for a screening hosted at The Corner Store on Jan. 12, 2026.
