Amazon Prime Video’s We Were Liars arrived on June 18, 2025, introducing viewers to the enigmatic Sinclair family and their haunting Beechwood Island summers. Led by Emily Alyn Lind as Cadence Sinclair Eastman, the eight-episode psychological drama unfolds a tragic mystery marked by loss, memory, and buried guilt. With a shocking finale that blurred the lines between reality and hallucination—and teased deeper supernatural possibilities—the show has sparked widespread speculation about a We Were Liars Season 2. Here’s the latest on what’s next for the Liars.
Will there be a We Were Liars Season 2?
As of June 25, 2025, Prime Video has not officially renewed We Were Liars for a second season. Despite its top 10 placement and strong fan interest, the streaming giant is reportedly awaiting full viewership data before making a decision
What happened in We Were Liars Season 1?
Emily Alyn Lind portrays Cadence “Cady” Sinclair Eastman, the eldest grandchild of the wealthy Sinclair dynasty. After returning to Beechwood Island plagued by migraines and memory loss, she gradually reconstructs the fateful summer that resulted in a catastrophic fire—and the deaths of her cousins Johnny and Mirren, as well as her friend Gat.
n a harrowing revelation, Cadence learns she carried out the arson plot that killed them, believing it would unite her fractured family. The finale delivers both closure and tension as the apparitions of Gat and Mirren finally depart—but Johnny remains, bound by psychic ties to his mother Carrie—a scene that mirrors the opening of E. Lockhart’s prequel, Family of Liars.
What can we expect in Season 2?
If renewed, Season 2 will likely draw from Family of Liars, focusing on the teenage years of the Sinclair sisters—Carrie, Penny, and Bess—and the ghost of Rosemary, as indicated in the final scene and by insider comments from showrunner Julie Plec. The show is expected to explore whether the ghosts are supernatural or psychological and delve into the sisters’ teenage trauma and sacrifice.
Both Plec and co-creator Carina Adly MacKenzie have said they “intentionally planted seeds” for a sequel and have held “endless conversations” with Prime Video executives, waiting for algorithmic support to green-light a follow-up.
Who is likely to return in the cast —and who’s joining?
Emily Alyn Lind is expected to return if a second season moves forward, alongside current cast members including Mamie Gummer, Caitlin FitzGerald, and Candice King. However, because Family of Liars is a prequel, much of the action may center around younger versions of the Sinclair sisters, leaving open the possibility for a new supporting cast portraying them as teenagers. Still, producers have expressed interest in keeping the present-day characters as part of the ensemble.
When will Season 2 premiere?
Assuming renewal follows soon, production could begin late 2025, with a realistic premiere in mid-to-late 2027. The show filmed Season 1 from June to September 2024, so about a year and a half turnaround would be expected if timelines remain consistent .
