The eagerly awaited third season of Meaghan Oppenheimer’s hit Hulu series “Tell Me Lies” is set to introduce both familiar faces and exciting new characters, including Amanda, a freshman with complex connections to Bree and Oliver. As the season unfolds, viewers will explore Amanda’s intricate story in the lives of the protagonists.
Amanda, portrayed by Iris Apatow, first appears in the opening episode when Bree, played by Cat Missal, notices her leaving Oliver’s office. Intrigued by the relationship, Bree later encounters Amanda at a karaoke bar, where they bond over cocktails. During their conversation, Amanda reveals her struggles with her boyfriend, who disapproves of her weight gain since starting college. Bree reassures Amanda of her beauty and encourages her to stand up against her unsupportive partner, yet Amanda’s complicated romantic life soon takes a darker turn.
As the episodes progress, viewers learn that Amanda’s breakup with her NYU boyfriend led her to engage in a risky liaison with a married professor—who happens to be the same man that Bree once became involved with. This shocking revelation leaves Bree distraught as she sees another young woman entangled in a similar situation she once faced. Bree’s protective instincts kick in as she attempts to steer Amanda away from Oliver, whom she deems predatory.
Iris Apatow, the new face of “Tell Me Lies,” comes from a notable lineage as the daughter of filmmaker Judd Apatow and actress Leslie Mann. With her impressive acting resume featuring roles in “Knocked Up,” “Funny People,” and upcoming projects like “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping,” Apatow is certainly a talent to watch. Oppenheimer praised her casting, noting her vulnerable presence and intelligence, which make Amanda’s storyline particularly compelling.
As “Tell Me Lies” debuts its third season, fans are eager to see how the entwined lives of Bree, Oliver, and Amanda will unfold, promising more drama and tension. For those interested in following Iris Apatow’s journey further, she maintains a significant social media presence with nearly 800,000 followers on Instagram.
