“Tell Me Lies” season 2 trailer offers even more sex, lies, and mind games

The soapy series returns to Hulu on Sept. 4.

The relationship may be over, but the toxicity is only just beginning.

On Thursday, Hulu dropped the trailer for season 2 of Tell Me Lies, the soapy drama based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Carola Lovering.

After Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White) had a dramatic breakup at the conclusion of season 1, they're back at Baird College — and aren't speaking.

But that doesn't last long, still hating each other and pulled right back into a new version of their troubling, addictive dynamic. Season 2 also expands outward into the lives of Lucy and Stephen's friends, as the fallout of season 1 begins to impact all of them in unexpected ways.

The trailer, which ominously features the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Heads Will Roll," starts with Lucy enjoying the last of her summer, claiming, "I was in a delusional state last year." But despite her pledge to her friends to focus on school and not boys, Stephen keeps popping up, offering her less-than-authentic apologies.

Which leaves Lucy with only one option: to promise to destroy his life — that is, while she's not busy flirting with and kissing Leo (Thomas Doherty).

The trailer also offers a glimpse of Lucifer's Tom Ellis, who appears in the season 2 series regular role of Oliver, a professor at Baird College who is married to Lucy’s professor Marianne (Gabriella Pession).

Season 2 also has some explaining to do when it comes to its season 1 finale time jump, showing us Evan (Branden Cook) and Bree's (Catherine Missal) engagement party. There's a lot of time to fill in between the break-up and that night.
