Tell Me Lies is not available on Disney Plus in the United States
Tell Me Lies streams on Hulu, not Disney Plus. The series is a Hulu original drama that premiered in September 2022, and new seasons release on Hulu. If you have a Disney Plus subscription alone, you will not find this show in your library.
The show is owned by Disney, which is why the confusion happens — Disney owns both Disney Plus and Hulu. But Disney keeps different content on each platform. Disney Plus focuses on family-friendly material and Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic content. Hulu carries more adult-oriented dramas, comedies, and recent television series.
If you want to watch Tell Me Lies, you have several options depending on what subscriptions you already have or are willing to get.
Key Takeaways
- Tell Me Lies streams exclusively on Hulu and is not available through Disney Plus.
- You can watch the show through a standalone Hulu subscription, a Hulu add-on to Disney Plus, or a Disney Bundle that includes both services.
- The Disney Bundle (Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus) costs less per month than buying each subscription separately.
- New episodes of Tell Me Lies release on Hulu on a weekly schedule when a season is airing.
How to watch Tell Me Lies through Hulu
The simplest way to watch is to subscribe to Hulu directly. You can sign up for Hulu on its website or through most streaming devices and smart TVs. Hulu offers different subscription tiers — with ads or ad-free — and the price varies depending on which tier you choose.
If you already pay for Disney Plus, you can add Hulu to your account without creating a separate subscription. Log into your Disney Plus account, go to account settings, and look for the option to add Hulu. This bundles both services under one login and one monthly charge.
The Disney Bundle option
Disney offers a bundle package that includes Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus all together. The bundle costs less per month than buying each service separately. You get to choose whether you want Hulu with ads or ad-free, and that choice affects the total bundle price.
The bundle is useful if you watch content across all three services. If you only want Hulu for Tell Me Lies and have no interest in Disney Plus or ESPN Plus, a standalone Hulu subscription is the cheaper choice.
What Tell Me Lies is about
Tell Me Lies is a drama series based on a novel by E. Lockhart. The show follows a college student named Lucy Albright and her complicated relationship with a fellow student named Stephen DeMarco. The plot moves between past and present, revealing how their relationship shaped both of their lives.
The series explores themes of manipulation, consent, and the long-term impact of toxic relationships. Season 1 has 10 episodes, and Season 2 aired in 2024. The show is rated TV-MA, meaning it contains adult language, sexual content, and violence.
How to watch past seasons and new episodes
All episodes of Season 1 are available to watch on Hulu right now. Season 2 episodes are also on Hulu. You can watch them in any order, though watching from the beginning makes the story clearer.
When Hulu releases new seasons, episodes typically come out on a weekly schedule rather than all at once. Hulu will notify you when new episodes are available if you follow the show or turn on notifications in the app.
Other ways to watch Tell Me Lies
If you do not have Hulu and do not want to subscribe, you can purchase individual episodes or full seasons through other platforms. Tell Me Lies is available for purchase on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and Vudu. Prices vary by platform and whether you buy an episode or a season.
Purchasing is more expensive than a subscription if you plan to watch multiple shows, but it is an option if you only want to see this one series and do not want a monthly commitment.
Checking your current subscriptions
If you already subscribe to Disney Plus, Hulu, or both, you may not need to pay anything extra. Log into your Disney account on the Disney Plus app or website and check which services are included in your current plan. Your account settings will show whether Hulu is bundled with your Disney Plus subscription.
Some Disney Plus subscribers have Hulu included automatically depending on when they signed up or what promotion they used. Others have Disney Plus alone. Checking your account takes less than a minute and tells you exactly what you have access to.
