‘Tell Me Lies’: Meaghan Oppenheimer and Tom Ellis Dissect That ‘Heartbreaking’ Season 2 Finale

[Editor’s note: The following interview contains spoilers for the “Tell Me Lies” Season 2 finale.]
In the wake of another delicious and devastating “Tell Me Lies” finale, creator Meaghan Oppenheimer had just one apology to make. “I’m sorry that relationships suck so much,” the showrunner and screenwriter told IndieWire. “I’m very sorry to the audience that it seems like everyone has been so traumatized by their own relationships. It feels like this universal and inescapable thing.”
You wouldn’t know it looking at Oppenheimer and actor Tom Ellis, who married in June 2019 and spoke at length about their experience collaborating on Hulu’s obsession-worthy fall drama. Adapted from Carola Lovering’s novel of the same name, “Tell Me Lies” Season 1 is a murder mystery investigated by way of an especially warped college romance. In Season 2, Oppenheimer exploded that concept to incorporate several new storylines — chief among them, a toxic love triangle that cast her husband as a predatory professor.
