  "textContent": "\n\n\n\n_We Were Liars_ is one of my favorite June TV shows because it simply has everything I love: romance, mystery, and an impeccable summer atmosphere. Plus the cast really and truly became a family!! Well, Cadence's story might end with the first book, but I can't wait to see how the story continues in _We Were Liars_ season 2. Here's what we know about the sophomore season.\n\n* * *\n\n## Here's everything we know about Prime Video's _We Were Liars_ season 2, including the new cast.\n\n### Who's in the We Were Liars season 2 cast?\n\n\n\n\n_We Were Liars_ season 2 is actually going to feature a brand new cast in addition to the stars we love since the show is taking us to 1999 — so we'll have the same characters, but they'll be played by new actors for the new plotline. Here's who we'll see in season 2:\n\n  * **Josh Dallas** (_Once Upon a Time_) as _Harris Sinclair_\n  * **Costa D’Angelo** (_Tell Me Lies_) as _Pfeff_\n  * **Parker Lapaine** (_House of the Dragons_) as _Carrie Sinclair_\n  * **Peyton List** (_Mad Men_) as _Tipper Sinclair_\n  * **Elysia Roorbach** (_The Pitt_) as _Penny Sinclair_\n  * **Madison Wolfe**(_The Hunting Wives_) as _Bess Sinclair_\n  * **Emily Alyn Lind** as _Cadence Sinclair Eastman_\n  * **Joseph Zada** as _Johnny Sinclair Dennis_\n  * **Caitlin FitzGerald** as _adult Penny Sinclair_\n  * **Mamie Gummer** as _adult Carrie Sinclair_\n  * **Candice King** as _adult_ _Bess Sinclair_\n\n\n\n### What is We Were Liars season 2 about?\n\n\n\n\nCadence (Emily Alyn Lind) returns to Beechwood after finally uncovering what happened the summer her entire life changed. As she dives even farther into her family's past — and their secrets — the show takes us to 1999, when a young Carrie, Penny, and Bess have their own life-changing summer.\n\n### Will there be We Were Liars season 2?\n\n\n\n\nAuthor E. Lockhart admits she's not allowed to talk about whatever season 2 plans Prime Video might have. \"But if you watch _We Were Liars_ all the way til the end, and you watch the little coda, you can see that that coda tips to the start of _Family of Liars_ ,\" she told _Deadline_. \"And you know, we have not forgotten about what's going on with Johnny and Carrie.\"\n\nI'd love to see Prime Video tackle this prequel, especially after Bess teases that she thinks the tragedy of _We Were Liars_ was punishment for what the moms did when _they_ were teens.\n\n### Is there a We Were Liars sequel?\n\n\n\n\nWe don't have a direct _We Were Liars_ sequel yet, but there is a prequel book called _Family of Liars_ that E. Lockhart published in 2022. The book follows Johnny's mom Carrie the summer she was 17, alongside her sisters. Carrie's life changes forever when her dad orchestrates a cosmetic surgery and she gets addicted to the pain pills. And things on Beechwood island get super complicated when Carrie's uncle brings three teen boys to the island to make her cousin Yardley happy.\n\n### What happened to Cadence when We Were Liars?\n\n\n\n\nThe end of We Were Liars see Cadence learn (or remember) that she came up with the idea to burn down her the family house — and that Gat, Mirren, and Johnny died in the fire alongside the family dogs. Actress Emily Alyn Lind told _Variety_ how difficult it was to film the show knowing how it ends.\n\n\"Usually when you’re doing a series, you expect with all these characters that Season 2 is going to be a breeze, because you’ve really built this chemistry, and fans will love it,\" she said. \"While we were filming all of that, we knew the main characters weren’t going to live on. Literally. So it was kind of a goodbye to this thing we built.\"\n\n**Check out The We Were Liars Ending, Explained for more.**\n\n_This post has been updated._",
