The dark comedy series will follow Sasha (Roberts), who is fresh from a terrible breakup and flees New York to start over in London, where she meets and quickly falls in love with a recently divorced father named Jacob (Ellis). When they impulsively decide to get married, they learn that there’s a lot they don’t know about each other – and they can’t outrun their pasts forever.
 
Based on Carola Lovering’s 2018 novel of the same name, “Tell Me Lies” premiered on Hulu in September 2022 and was renewed for a second season in November.
