- Prime Video renewed 'We Were Liars' for Season 2, which draws from E. Lockhart's prequel novel 'Family of Liars' and centers on the three Sinclair sisters' summer of 1999; production began in early July with no release date set.
- Emily Alyn Lind and Joseph Zada will reprise their roles as Cadence and Johnny Sinclair, confirmed by an on-set photo Prime Video posted of the two together.
- Josh Dallas (Manifest), Peyton List (The Rookie), Madison Wolfe, Elysia Roorbach, and Parker Lapaine join the cast as younger versions of Harris, Tipper, and the three Sinclair sisters Carrie, Penny, and Bess.
- Costa D'Angelo (Tell Me Lies) will portray Pfeff, a character from 'Family of Liars' whose full name in the source novel is Lawrence Pfeffernan.
- Dempsey Bryk has been upped to series regular as Ebon; he told Deadline at SXSW 2026 that he's been briefed on his character's arc for the new season.
- Co-showrunners Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie write and executive produce alongside Lockhart herself, with Universal Television and Amazon MGM Studios behind the project.
Why it matters: Prime Video is expanding the 'We Were Liars' universe backward into the Sinclair sisters' 1999 summer with a wave of new cast additions and Dempsey Bryk's promotion to series regular — a notable commitment for a YA franchise still without a Season 2 release date.
