One of Us Is Lying Season 3: Wait, so Who Killed Jake?

By Jivika Last updated Oct 27, 2022

Erica Saleh created the American mystery television series One of Us Is Lying. The series is based on Karen M. McManus’s 2017 novel of the same name, and it follows five high school students who are detained, one of whom dies under suspicious circumstances, and an investigation ensues. The show debuted on Peacock on October 7, 2021, to generally positive reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of 9 critics’ reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.0/10, and the audience score is 92% for the second season.

It’s understandable that, as the second season ended on October 20, 2022, viewers began to wonder if the show had been renewed for a third season after so many positive reviews from audiences and critics around the world. To be honest, it won’t surprise me if the network decides to renew the series. So, if this occurs, we’ve compiled a quick rundown of everything you need to know about the release date, plot, and cast, so you can get a head start on the next instalment and be ready before the series airs.

Has One of Us Is Lying season 3 Been Confirmed?

The short answer is no, Netflix has not announced a new season of One of Us Is Lying. However, this does not rule out the possibility.

Because the show hasn’t been confirmed, we can assume it hasn’t yet been shot, which means fans will have to wait for production to begin before the show can even consider editing. Maybe something similar to the 8-month gap between the release of seasons one and two on Netflix? Here we come, June 2023!

One of Us Is Lying Season 3 Plot

There is no word on what the plot of One of Us Is Lying Season 3 will entail, but several key plotlines have hinted at possible scenarios and directions the series could take if it is renewed. The following season is expected to pick up the plotline from the second season’s finale episode and follow the basic plotline, which follows the mystery surrounding Bayview High when five students walk into detention and only four walk out alive, leaving one dead just as he was about to reveal life-changing secrets about the others in a gossip app.

Bronwyn, Addy, Nate, and Cooper all had the opportunity and individual motives to murder their classmate, but all claim to be innocent because the case revolves around which of them is lying.

Wait, so Who Killed Jake? (Spoilers)

The season two finale of One of Us Is Lying ended with a dramatic bang and a stab, literally. It turns out that Addy (Jake’s ex-girlfriend who was cheating on him with TJ, causing Jake’s need for vengeance, which resulted in Simon’s fatal allergic reaction) was the one who killed Jake. The Murder Club, on the other hand, attempted to frame Fiona (Doralynn Mui) for Jake’s murder, despite the fact that she had been tormenting them all as the mysterious Simon Says (think Gossip Girl, with more blackmail).

Fiona stabs Bronwynn and sets fire to the Murder Club’s boat in the Season 2 finale of One of Us Is Lying. We also get an enigmatic flash-forward to the lethal graduation. All we can say is sign us up for Season 3 of One of Us Is Lying! Seasons 1 and 2 are currently available on Peacock.
