Prime Video We Were Liars Season 2 Plans Featuring Family of Liars Prequel

E. Lockhart's bestselling YA novel "We Were Liars" has expanded into a successful Prime Video series that has been renewed for a second season, which will adapt her prequel novel "Family of Liars" and introduce new storylines. The show continues to explore the Sinclair family's complicated past and present, including supernatural elements such as the ghost of Johnny Sinclair, with returning cast members Emily Alyn Lind, Joseph Zada, and others reprising their roles. Lockhart has also released a new book, "We Fell Apart," set in the same universe but focusing on new characters and events occurring simultaneously with the original story. The upcoming second season promises to blend past and present narratives, incorporating twists beyond the novels to surprise even those familiar with the prequel. The showrunners aim to delve deeper into the Sinclair sisters' lives, particularly their roles as parents, while also expanding on the mysteries of Beechwood Island. Lockhart emphasizes the series' themes of young people creating their own worlds distinct from patriarchal structures, and she takes pride in crafting layered plot twists that reward repeat readers.
