Prime Video Confirms ‘We Were Liars’ Season 2 With Darker Twists and Sinclair Family Secrets

Prime Video has officially renewed its hit thriller series We Were Liars for a second season, following the show’s widely acclaimed debut in June. Adapted from E. Lockhart’s bestselling novel, the drama captivated viewers with its intoxicating mix of privilege, secrecy, and betrayal.

At the heart of the story is Cadence Sinclair Eastman and her close-knit circle of friends, known as the Liars, who spend their summers on an exclusive island off the New England coast. Beneath the Sinclair family’s polished exterior lies a web of fractured relationships, buried truths, and a mysterious accident that reshaped Cadence’s life forever.

Showrunners Julie Plec and Carina Adly Mackenzie expressed their excitement at the renewal:

“We loved making this show with so many spectacular humans. The fan response was truly special. There are still plenty of secrets buried on Beechwood Island, and we can’t wait to keep digging them up.”

The series is produced by Universal Television in association with Amazon MGM Studios, with studio leaders calling the decision to renew a “no-brainer.”

Author E. Lockhart hinted at even bigger revelations ahead, promising surprises along with long-awaited moments from her novels:

“We have big, big plans for Season Two, including everything readers of my books are dying to see onscreen – and a lot of surprises as well.”

Plec also suggested that the next chapter may weave in elements from Lockhart’s prequel novel Family of Liars, giving the creative team a chance to explore the Sinclair legacy both forward and backward in time.

With its renewal, We Were Liars is set to delve even deeper into the dark heart of Beechwood Island, offering audiences a more chilling exploration of the Sinclair family’s secrets.
