Grace Van Patten has proven she has what it takes to make it in Hollywood. She’s worked alongside A-list actors, including Nicole Kidman and Adam Sandler, and stars in the hit show Tell Me Lies, a television adaptation of Carola Lovering’s dark coming-of-age novel. The long-awaited second season of the Emma Roberts–produced series, which follows a college freshman entangled in a toxic relationship, is finally streaming on Hulu. The first season premiered in the fall of 2022 and introduced a rapidly growing fan base to Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco (played by Van Patten’s real-life boyfriend, Jackson White), college students who fall into a hot, heavy, and increasingly dark relationship. The show jumps between Albright’s first year of college and the couple’s reunion, eight years later. Tell Me Lies skillfully balances parties, sex scenes, and college nostalgia with the reality that, unlike many Hollywood love stories, this is a couple that is not supposed to end up together. —Clara Molot
