Tom Ellis Reveals If Wife Meaghan Oppenheimer Asked Him To Star In Her Hulu Series Tell Me Lies Season 2: ‘It’s Strange That…’

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must say that the dynamic between Tom Ellis and his wife, Meaghan Oppenheimer, on Tell Me Lies season 2 is nothing short of fascinating. It’s not every day you see a power couple collaborating so seamlessly both at home and in the professional world.


In a recent interview, Tom Ellis shared the story behind his casting as Oliver in the acclaimed Hulu drama series Tell Me Lies, which launched its second season on September 4. This gripping show is overseen by its creator and showrunner, Meaghan Oppenheimer, who made the decision to bring Ellis onto the series

In a recent chat with PEOPLE magazine, Tom Ellis, the actor, candidly talked about his role as Oliver and shared insights into working alongside his wife, Meaghan Oppenheimer. Ellis confessed that he had never envisioned himself being part of this series, as they hadn’t discussed it at home beforehand

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I can share an intriguing behind-the-scenes revelation. When my talented partner on the set of Lucifer, Inspector Charlotte Richards (Oppenheimer), began brainstorming about Season 2 and the direction she envisioned for our characters, she mentioned a unique relationship dynamic she wanted to delve into. She subtly posed the question, “By any chance, would you be intrigued by this concept?”

Initially unsure about his wife’s intentions due to their idea seeming abstract, the actor gradually grew more enthusiastic as it became tangible. Yet, it wasn’t until they formally proposed the role of Oliver that he declared himself eager and prepared to join the project

Afterward, Ellis admitted that his wife hadn’t made him try out for the role, expressing, “Meaghan has likely witnessed enough of my work to understand that I might be able to handle it.”

Additionally, the actor emphasized that he and Meaghan Oppenheimer hold an immense creative admiration for one another. He praised her abilities, stating that it was simply intuitive for him to be part of the production, given her talent

As an ardent admirer putting words to my fascination, I can’t help but share a fascinating insight: the actor casually mentioned that some might ponder over the peculiarity of collaborating with his better half on set, assuming it must be a bizarre experience. However, in his own intriguing manner, he expressed, “It’s almost peculiar to realize that it isn’t peculiar at all.”

As an ardent admirer, let me share my perspective on the moment Ellis spoke about his desire to be part of the series. You see, every new project comes with a tinge of uncertainty, like taking a chance at the casino. But with this show, I was positively itching to roll the dice! It simply seemed too good to pass up

He mentioned that the character of Oliver is far more detached compared to any roles he has taken on previously. He explained this by stating that his challenge was learning how to become less empathetic and interact with someone who reveals very little

Meanwhile, the first two episodes of Tell Me Lies season 2 are now streaming on Hulu.
