Tell Me Lies Season 2 now has a trailer, and the tension only gets thicker between Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White). The show premieres Sept. 4 with two episodes, followed by one episode a week.

The second season of the drama series will watch as the fallout from last season extends deeper into Lucy and Stephen’s friend group.

Unfortunately, Stephen is still very much around both in the friend group and individually, and the addictive dynamic between him and Lucy just takes a new shape this season. But Thomas Doherty‘s (Gossip Girl) recurring guest character takes an interest in Lucy.

Deadline broke the news that Tom Ellis (Lucifer) joined Season 2 in the role of Baird College professor Oliver, who is married to Lucy’s teacher Marianne (Gabriella Pession). His involvement with a student could spell trouble.

Other newcomers include Jacob Rodriguez as Chris, brother of Lydia (Natalee Linez) and potential love interest for Pippa (Sonia Mena). Katherine Hughes will play Molly, Diana’s friend who is also on the lookout for romance this season.
