\n\tIn season three of Hulu<\/a>\u2019s Tell Me Lies<\/a>, Grace Van Patten<\/a>\u2019s Lucy and Jackson White<\/a>\u2019s Stephen are ready to rekindle things but Lucy gives the warning: \u201cWe have to be nice to each other this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHulu released the trailer for the upcoming season on Wednesday which teases the return of Lucy and Stephen\u2019s toxic romance as they begin spring semester at Baird College.<\/p>\n

\n\tA synopsis for the season reads, \u201cWhile they promise things will be different this time, past indiscretions hinder their best intentions, and Lucy finds herself embroiled in a controversy she wants nothing to do with. Meanwhile, the disastrous repercussions from the previous year also force Lucy and Stephen\u2019s friends to face their own destructive behaviors. As scandalous secrets fester around campus, vicious consequences threaten Lucy and everyone in her circle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThroughout the trailer, Lucy, Stephen and their friends find themselves enduring a myriad of drama with Lucy confronting Stephen about his intentions. Season two ended on a cliffhanger with Stephen sending Bree (Catherine Missal) \u2014 on the day of her and his friend Evan\u2019s wedding \u2014 a recording of Evan (Branden Cook) confessing that he hooked up with Lucy in college. However, Evan was dating Lucy\u2019s friend Bree at the time this hookup occurred. Season three seemingly follows Stephen\u2019s intent for revenge. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe\u2019s going to hold this over us forever,\u201d Lucy tells Evan.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI want to hurt you and I don\u2019t know how else to do it,\u201d Stephen tells Lucy at one point in the trailer. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe shocking moment was something that was written last minute, showrunner and exec producer Meaghan Oppenheimer told The Hollywood Reporter. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn season two, I definitely knew that he was going to record Evan saying this thing. Initially, I didn\u2019t think he was going to play it at the end of the finale. I rewrote\u00a0the ending of the finale very quickly, very last minute\u2026 I rewrote it, because initially it was going to be more of a cliffhanger of: Is he going to tell Bree or not at the wedding? And then I decided he\u2019s just gotta tell her; we just have to have that blow up,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat need for revenge is something that seemingly carries over in season three. \u201cStephen is able to control his anger and then utilize it to his advantage, and when the moment makes sense. It\u2019s very rare that he\u2019s explosive or impulsive,\u201d Oppenheimer told THR. She also teased that Lucy and Stephen still have more of a \u201ccat-and-mouse game\u201d with each other.<\/p>\n

\n\tCat Missal, Spencer House, Sonia Mena, Branden Cook, Alicia Crowder and Costa D\u2019Angelo also return.<\/p>\n
