The Tell Me Lies Season 3 finale will be streaming on Hulu this week. However, on Monday, the showrunner and executive producer, Meaghan Oppenheimer, revealed that the third season will be the show's last. Oppenheimer herself confirmed on Instagram yesterday that season 3 will be the drama series's last.

Posting an image of the cast yesterday, Oppenheimer announced that Tell Me Lies Season 3 would be the show's last. The caption of the Instagram read:

"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. 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. My main goal has always been to protect the quality of the show and give you the best experience I can give you. And so, while it is bittersweet to leave something that has been such a happy experience, I am very grateful that we are able to tell a complete story with an intentional ending - a privilege very few shows get. Thank you for loving our show. We are excited to bring you more stories in the near future."

Tell Me Lies showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer addresses the decision:

Deadline published an interview with showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer on Monday. The interview began with the Deadline reporter asking the showrunner about the shocking revelation that the series was ending with season 3. To this, the showrunner said, "Yeah. Yeah, I was. I think three seasons is the perfect amount."

When asked if she was tempted to continue the episode, Oppenheimer responded:

"Obviously we love making the show, and I love our audience, but I had had so many conversations with our writers, and when you actually look at what could happen next, Lucy’s not in school anymore. Most of the cast are graduating college in the future. They’re all living in different places. They’re not in the same industry. There’s not a lot connecting them, so, while I think it’s such a privilege to know when a show is ending and be able to write an ending and quit while you’re ahead, it’s hard. For me, it was just about do I think there’s another season in here that’s going to be as good, that’s not going to feel like a completely different show? And I felt like it would have to be completely re-imagined. The framing device is over. So yeah, while it’s difficult, I think the worst case scenario would be turning in something I didn’t believe in. And also just knowing how much the cast loved this ending, and they were the people who’d been embodying these characters for so long. That gave me a lot of peace about it."
