What is season 3 about?
Season three picks up after the dramatic cliffhanger ending of the previous series. On her wedding day, Bree received an audio message from Stephen that revealed Evan had previously cheated on her with Lucy.
In the new episodes, Lucy and Stephen have rekindled their rocky romance in time for spring semester at Baird College.
The synopsis continues: "While they promise things will be different this time, past indiscretions hinder their best intentions, and Lucy finds herself embroiled in a controversy she wants nothing to do with.
"Meanwhile, the disastrous repercussions from the previous year also force Lucy and Stephen's friends to face their own destructive behaviors. As scandalous secrets fester around campus, vicious consequences threaten Lucy and everyone in her circle."

What have the cast said about the show?
Teasing the new season in an exclusive interview with HELLO!, Sonia Mena, who plays Pippa, described the episodes as "chaotic, messy" and "ugly".
Meanwhile, Alicia Crowder, who portrays Diana, said the characters feel "a lot more grounded" in the new season. "There's less of a performative element to them all," she explained. "I mean performative in the way that when you first meet a group of friends, you're not necessarily being your truest, ugliest self. In [season three], it's less filtered."
