What happened at the end of Tell Me Lies?

The final episode of Tell Me Lies season one came out on October 26, 2022.

And, much like the Lucy and Stephen’s relationship, it was a tumultuous one.

One of the biggest shock is that it revisits the events of the very first episode again, but shows what happened in a different light.

It finally reveals how Lucy’s roommate Macy dies – and that Stephen was with her.

Viewers are shown how Macy heads to a party on her own, then calls up Stephen, and the pair end up making out in her car.

Stephen decides to drive them home, despite having a lot to drink.

As they drive, Macy starts arguing with Stephen, seeing him take his eyes off the road – indirectly leading to the crash.

When Stephen wakes, Macy is already dead, and – to try protect himself – he moves Macy’s body into the driver’s seat and deletes the txt messages from him on her phone.

There are more twists and turns throughout the episode, too, and of course a cliffhanger.

Will there be another season of Tell Me Lies?

As of October 26, 2022, there was nothing set in stone.

But, series creator Meaghan Oppenheimer said the goal was to have a second season.

She told Vanity Fair: “There’s been many breakups and [moments of] getting back together. We just haven’t seen them yet.

“But in terms of what I wanted to show more of, I mean, we had such a big ensemble.

“I really, really hope that we get a season two so that we can explore more of the ensemble.”

Meaghan said if season two wasn’t on the table, “I wouldn’t have left such a cliffhanger, a**hole ending”.
