After three intense seasons, Tell Me Lies has officially come to an end, leaving fans reflecting on the tangled relationships and emotional wreckage surrounding the friend group from Baird University. The series finale delivered dramatic confrontations and painful consequences, yet it also left many lingering questions about what the future might hold for its characters. Before the announcement that Season 3 would be the final chapter, cast members Cat Missal and Spencer House shared their thoughts on what they would have liked to explore if the story had continued into a fourth season.

The final episodes were packed with chaos, particularly during Evan and Bree’s wedding. Stephen, portrayed by Jackson White, nearly set the celebration ablaze with his explosive behavior. His actions did not stop there; he later abandoned Lucy, played by Grace Van Patten, at a gas station in a move that underscored his manipulative and destructive tendencies. Meanwhile, Lucy’s college timeline ended in devastation. She was expelled after her false accusation against Chris was exposed, bringing her once-promising academic journey to a humiliating collapse.
When Missal and House spoke about the possibility of Season 4, they were unaware that Season 3 would mark the end of the series. Naturally, they reflected on how their characters’ journeys might have evolved. Missal expressed interest in seeing the characters navigate the next stage of their lives. She suggested that while flashbacks could have been entertaining, it would have been even more compelling to watch the group attempt to figure out what came next after such dramatic upheaval. For Bree in particular, the aftermath of the wedding and her complicated relationship with Wrigley offered rich material for further exploration.
One of the most emotionally charged storylines centered on the fractured friendship between Bree and Lucy. During their college years, Bree made the shocking decision to release a recording of Lucy admitting that she had falsely accused Chris of rape. Bree’s choice was not made lightly. She had just discovered that Evan had cheated on her with Lucy during their freshman year, a betrayal that shook her deeply. At the same time, she found herself entangled in manipulation and blackmail involving Oliver, Marianne, and even her own mother. Under immense emotional pressure, Bree lashed out in a way that permanently altered Lucy’s life.

If the story had continued, the possibility of forgiveness between Bree and Lucy would have been a central question. Missal reflected that Lucy, in her opinion, should forgive Bree, pointing out that Lucy herself had committed hurtful acts. She suggested that friendships can survive even the most painful betrayals, though she also acknowledged that the real question might not be whether reconciliation is possible, but whether it is wise. The complexity of their relationship, layered with guilt, anger, and shared history, could have provided powerful material for another season.
Spencer House, who portrayed Wrigley, felt that Season 3 concluded in a strong and satisfying way for his character. However, he admitted there were still areas he would have loved to explore. One particularly compelling storyline would have involved Wrigley’s relationship with his parents. Throughout the entire series, his parents were never shown onscreen, leaving their influence largely implied. After the tragic death of Drew, Wrigley’s brother, the emotional impact on his family must have been immense. House expressed curiosity about how Wrigley’s dynamic with his parents might have changed in the aftermath of such loss. He even joked that the subject matter was heavy enough to inspire an entirely separate show.
The conclusion of the series leaves viewers imagining countless possible futures for these characters. Would Bree and Wrigley build a stable life together after everything they endured? Could Lucy rebuild her identity and sense of purpose after being expelled and abandoned? Would Stephen ever face the full consequences of his manipulations? The finale offered emotional closure in some respects, yet it intentionally left room for interpretation, allowing audiences to speculate about what might come next.
Although there will be no Season 4, the legacy of Tell Me Lies lies in its unflinching portrayal of messy relationships, flawed decisions, and the long-lasting impact of youthful mistakes. The characters were never perfect, but their imperfections made them human. In the end, the show captured the painful transition from adolescence to adulthood, reminding viewers that some wounds heal while others leave permanent scars.
