We Were Liars season 2 is officially on the way, and fans aren’t too surprised after the thrilling drama became a hit on one of the best streaming services earlier this year.
After becoming Prime Video’s new #1 show when it premiered in June, it’s no surprise that We Were Liars is coming back. And there’s plenty more source material to follow with the show baed on the works of E. Lockhart.
So, here’s everything we know so far about the potential release date, confirmed cast, plot rumors and more of We Were Liars season 2.
Full spoilers follow for We Were Liars season 1. Plus, spoilers for We Were Liars season 2 will also appear.
We Were Liars season 2: release date prediction
There’s no We Were Liars season 2 release date just yet, but we do know that the show was officially renewed on September 17, 2025 with an Instagram post revealing it’s “coming soon”.
In a statement via The Hollywood Reporter, the show’s co-creators Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie said: “We loved making the 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.”
Season 1 came out in June 2025, a year after filming commenced. So, if I were to predict a release date for season 2, I’d say at the earliest it’ll be late 2026 or early 2027.
We Were Liars season 2 trailer: is there one?
Since filming is yet to commence on We Were Liars season 2, there’s no trailer to share – and I imagine that’ll be the case for a while.
Season 1’s official trailer dropped just weeks before the show premiered on Prime Video, so I imagine we won’t be able to share a trailer until at least late 2026.
We Were Liars season 2 confirmed cast
Full spoilers follow for We Were Liars season 1.
Author E. Lockhart has revealed some of the cast returning for season 2, as per Deadline, and while the shock twist in the We Were Liars season 1 finale revealed the death of key characters, we also know that the cast interact with the ghosts of said people.
So, for season 2, I would predict we’ll see all of the main cast returning:
- Emily Alyn Lind as Cadence Sinclair Eastman
- Caitlin FitzGerald as Penny Sinclair
- Mamie Gummer as Carrie Sinclair
- Candice King as Bess Sinclair
- Esther McGregor as Mirren Sinclair Sheffield
- David Morse as Harris Sinclair
- Joseph Zada as Johnny Sinclair Dennis
- Rahul Kohli as Ed Patil
- Shubham Maheshwari as Gat Patil
There’s also talk, referenced in the same Deadline piece where Lockhart confirmed returning characters, that younger versions of the Sinclair sisters will also be cast for season 2.
Though there’s no official news on these castings yet, I’ll be sure to update here as soon as we hear.
We Were Liars season 2 plot details & rumors
Full spoilers follow for We Were Liars season 1. Potential spoilers also follow for We Were Liars season 2.
Whilst We Were Liars season 1 followed E Lockhart’s novel of the same name, season 2 will follow her second book, titled Family of Liars – with a bit of a twist.
Speaking to Deadline, Lockhart teased: “We have Season 2 planned for We Were Liars, and the showrunners, Julie Plec and Carina Adley Mackenzie, are taking the story that’s in Family of Liars, my second book, but they are also adding all kinds of fun new twists and turns.
“They have lots of ideas up their sleeves, so that people who know Family of Liars will get to see everything that they want to see, but they will also get to be surprised. I think it’s going to be really fun.”
Without giving too much away, as you can read the book if you really want to know what We Were Liars season 2 will be about, but Family of Liars is a prequel story alluded to in the season 1 finale.
The book speaks of a summer where the Sinclair sisters were involved in their own mystery on Beechwood Island, back when they were teenagers.
As Deadline explains: “The plan is to interweave that material with the younger generation’s storylines and cast younger versions of the three Sinclair sisters as well.”
And there’s direct reference to this in the season 1 finale as Carrie and Bess discuss whether an incident in their past, during Summer 16, was the reason for everything dreadful that’s now happened to them in their present. But, details on what they actually did that faithful summer have been kept firmly under wraps.
There’s also the fact that by the end of the finale, whilst it was assumed that Johnny seemingly passed on from the world alongside the other Liars, that’s not actually the case.
Instead, Carrie sees her son for the first time in the kitchen and speaks to him. But, why he’s not passed on is a mystery for season 2.
Whether the same can be assumed for Gat and Mirren’s souls is unclear right now. But, Maheshwari who played Gat in season 1 told Us he’d be open to returning, if there’s opportunity for him: “If that happens, I’m so game. I’m so ready for that, but I really don’t know. It’s hard to say. I’m sure they have ideas. I’m not very aware of what they’re thinking.”
Will there be more seasons of We Were Liars?
Family of Liars isn’t the last book in the We Were Liars family – and that’s because in November 2025, Lockhart’s third novel, We Fell Apart, was published.
And when speaking to Deadline, Lockhart revealed that while We Fell Apart is a standalone story, there are nods to the world (and two seasons). So, when it comes to developing this for a third season, well, Lockhart says: “All I can really say is that my showrunners have early copies of this book, and we will see what they want to cook up.”
But what this means for a potential season 3 is currently unclear. As explained by Variety, We Fell Apart “follows a new set of characters that have their own secrets to keep and mysteries to solve.”
This includes Matilda, who is invited to spend the summer at Hidden Beach with her long-lost father: a reclusive artist named Kingsley Cello. But, when she gets there, her father is nowhere to be seen and instead meets her half-brother Meer, a former child star named Brock, and a brooding boy named Tatum living at the seaside home.
Again, Lockhart explains how while it’s a separate book, it still has ties to the We Were Liars universe: “The first thing that I want to say is it can be read alone, but for people who have read “We Were Liars,” I think the thing that they’re going to like the most that starts close to the beginning of the book is that the characters trespass over on Beechwood Island.”
Whether this will get picked up as a spin-off, as a season 3, or not at all, we’ll have to wait and see.
