Tell Me Lies Season 3 Episode 5 Release Date
Tell Me Lies season 3, episode 5, titled “I’d Like to Hold Her Head Under Water,” premieres on Hulu on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET).
For viewers in the U.S., that means the episode drops at midnight ET on the 27th, but Pacific Time fans can technically start watching on the evening of Monday, January 26 at 9:00 p.m. PT.
It’s that classic “same day, different clock” dance that streaming originals love so if you’re west of the Rockies, it’ll feel like it arrives a bit earlier.
Internationally, Tell Me Lies season 3 is available on Disney+ (with a subscription), and episode 5 should appear around the same global release window, usually within a few hours of the U.S. drop.
Check your local Disney+ schedule for exact timing, but it’s usually aligned with the Hulu midnight ET / 9:00 p.m. PT mark.
Just like the previous weeks, only one episode drops this week no surprise triple or double drop like that opening week. So set a reminder for Tuesday the 27th, or Monday night if you’re on the West Coast, and have a drink ready.

About Tell Me Lies Season 3
Tell Me Lies season 3 continues the story of Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White) as their toxic, on‑again‑off‑again relationship reignites at Baird College in 2008, while the 2015 wedding timeline shows fallout from all those past choices.
The season dives into scandal, secrets, and emotional messiness, with Bree, Wrigley, Diana, Pippa, and Evan all tangled in the fallout.
Episode 4 finally revealed who called Bree before her wedding, and that secret now hangs over the group, with Stephen looking to use it to cause maximum damage.
The official synopsis for episode 5 sets the tone: “Gossip spirals around Lucy at a pool party. Bree seeks answers from her childhood”.
That hints at Lucy’s secret being exposed more publicly, while Bree starts digging into her past for clarity.
With only a few episodes left after this one, season 3 is clearly building toward some big confrontations, and episode 5 promises another intense, messy hour at Baird.
