Grace Van Patten on Tell Me Lies Season 3 and Playing Amanda Knox: No Sugarcoating, Just the Truth
Let’s be real—when a show’s entire premise hinges on deception, manipulation, and bad life choices, you know the third season is going to be a dumpster fire wrapped in emotional chaos. That’s exactly what Grace Van Patten promises for *Tell Me Lies* Season 3—and honestly, we wouldn’t expect anything less.
Van Patten, who plays Lucy Whittemore, recently gave E! News a peek behind the curtain of Hulu’s twisted romantic thriller. And while fans were still reeling from Season 2’s wedding-wrecking climax (shoutout to Stephen’s absolutely catastrophic audio file), she insists things are about to get even messier. “It feels like the peak of all these young people’s worst decisions,” she said at the premiere of *The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox*. Because nothing says “emotional maturity” like watching fictional twenty-somethings spiral harder than your average group chat after a breakup text.
For those who missed it, Season 2 ended with Lucy’s best friend Bree getting cold feet thanks to Stephen’s incriminating recording—because obviously, nothing says romance like sabotage on your wedding day. And yet, despite playing characters locked in a toxic tango, Van Patten and co-star Jackson White—who portrays Stephen—are doing just fine IRL, thank you very much. In fact, he was right there beside her at the premiere, proving that sometimes, life imitates art in the least dramatic way possible. Who knew?
But if you think Van Patten’s plate is full enough juggling *Tell Me Lies*, she also took on the role of Amanda Knox in the new biographical series *The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox*. And no, this isn’t some tabloid rehash—it’s a serious look at a woman wrongfully convicted of murder in Italy back in 2009. Van Patten called the experience “the most fulfilling job” she’s ever had, which is saying something considering how emotionally charged the material must have been.
Amanda herself served as an executive producer on the project, which probably helped keep things authentic. “She really truly captured what it was like for me,” Knox said of Van Patten’s performance. High praise from someone who lived through one of the most sensationalized legal nightmares of the 21st century.
Still, let’s not pretend we’re all tuning in for deep character exploration. We want drama. We want lies. We want more gasp-worthy moments than a reality TV reunion special. And based on Van Patten’s hints, *Tell Me Lies* Season 3 is shaping up to deliver all of that and then some.
So yes, brace yourselves. The emotional wreckage is coming. And knowing this show? it won’t hold back.
