FULL INTERVIEW: 'Tell Me Lies' Star Alicia Crowder Teases 'Explosive' Season 3 Finale & Which Scene Was 'Emotionally Draining'

Inside Diana’s reckoning – and the scenes that took the biggest toll.

Since Hulu’s Tell Me Lies first premiered, Alicia Crowder has watched her character Diana evolve from a seemingly self-possessed college girlfriend into one of the show’s most quietly complicated figures.

In this uncut, unfiltered Q&A, OK! writer Carrie Berk catches up with Alicia to talk about growing with the series, how time, distance, and the writers’ strike shaped the story, and why Diana’s journey this season feels more personal – and more painful – than ever.

And when it comes to what’s ahead, she teases a finale where the simmering tension finally boils over… promising revelations, emotional fallout, and a breaking point that changes everything.

CARRIE: You’ve been doing this for a while now. How long has the show been going on?

ALICIA: We shot season one in 2022, so four years. It’s been a while. I posted my original audition tape from 2021 recently, which is really insane. It’s kind of been a long time, but at the same time there was the writers’ and actors’ strike in 2023, so we didn’t shoot that year at all. It’s changed my life.

CARRIE: Does it feel like it’s been a long time, or does it feel like you shot the first episode yesterday?
