‘Tell Me Lies’ Cast’s Biggest Confessions About the Steamy Scenes

Tell Me Lies captivated fans with its steamy sex scenes — and the cast has been candid about the work that goes into those memorable moments.

The Hulu series, which debuted in September 2022, introduced the tumultuous relationship between college students Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen (Jackson White). As viewers explored an eight-year time period of the couple’s lives, they also caught snippets of how the relationship affected those around Lucy and Stephen.

According to executive producer Meaghan Oppenheimer, it was important to ensure that “every sex scene served a purpose” to the story. “Some of the scenes are sexy, some of them are really not sexy. Some of them are really upsetting sex scenes or awkward,” Oppenheimer shared in 2022, referring to the show’s intimacy coordinator, Dr. Tiffanie Henry.

The showrunner detailed the discussions that took place between the crew and the cast, saying, “No one was ever even slightly pushed to do something they didn’t want to do. It was always a conversation and making sure everyone felt really comfortable and really safe. We really rehearsed everything out so there were no surprises on the day. It’s like a dance, you have to choreograph it and it’s actually quite mechanical when you get down to it.”
