![]() ![]() In the series, Lucy and Stephen are both still Long Islanders-but Baird College has been moved to New York State. Setting: In the book, Lucy and Stephen have relocated from the neighboring Long Island towns of Cold Harbor and Bayville (respectively) to attend Baird College in sunny Southern California. Spoilers for both the book and series of Tell Me Lies follow. So what tweaks were made in adapting Tell Me Lies for the small screen? Glad you asked. From the first scene, though, it’s clear that showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer isn’t afraid to make a few departures from Lovering’s book. In the way that the storyline closely tracks Lucy’s time at Baird College and the evolution of her relationship with Stephen, the Hulu series remains fundamentally faithful to its source material. The series then flashes back to Lucy’s first year of college and proceeds to show us exactly how Lucy and Stephen got involved-and what their relationship ultimately cost, not only the two of them but everyone else in their orbit. Executive produced by Emma Roberts and based on the addictive novel by Carola Lovering, the series introduces us to Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten), a twentysomething woman on her way to her college friend’s engagement party-only to find her biggest-deal ex, Stephen DeMarco (Jackson James White), also in attendance. For anyone who’s ever had a toxic, just-can’t-quit-you type of relationship with a significant other, the new Hulu show Tell Me Liesmight feel a little too familiar. ![]()
