The series is a straight-to-series order from the streaming company and will be based on Carola Lovering’s novel of the same name. Emma Roberts is attached as an executive producer with the series being adapted by Meaghan Oppenheimer. Van Patten and White are the only two confirmed cast members as of now.

Along with adapting the work, Oppenheimer will also serve as showrunner and an executive producer for the series alongside Roberts, Karah Preiss, and Matt Matruski. Tell Me Lies will follow the story of an “intoxicating relationship” over the course of eight years. The series will focus on Lucy Albright (Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (White) as they meet at college and begin a long relationship.

“Although their relationship begins like any typical campus romance, they quickly fall into an addictive entanglement that will permanently alter not only their lives, but the lives of everyone around them,” reads the official description of the series.”With an enigmatic quality and a fierce intelligence, Stephen’s (White) ability to read people has always been a means of survival. But underneath his charm, he has a dark side. When he meets Lucy (Van Patten) he will bring out a side of her that is simultaneously enthralling and frightening. Together they will embark on a tumultuous journey, with repercussions that neither could have predicted.”
