The Prime Video drama series, We Were Liars, has left fans on the edge of their seats with its shocking cliffhanger finale. Based on E. Lockhart's bestselling novel of the same name, the show follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman (Emily Alyn Lind), a privileged teen who uncovers the truth behind her memory loss and the tragic events that unfolded on her family's lavish compound on Martha's Vineyard.

How Did Season 1 of We Were Liars End?

In the season's final scenes, it's revealed that Cadence's best friends, cousins Mirren (Esther McGregor) and Johnny (Joseph Zada), and friend Gat (Shubham Maheshwari), are dead. Although Cadence has spent the summer talking to them as if they were alive, they actually perished in a fire that she started at the family's estate. The devastating truth unravels as Cadence's memory returns, forcing her to confront the full weight of the tragedy.

Will There Be a Season 2 of We Were Liars?

Prime Video hasn't confirmed a sequel for We Were Liars, but the show's author and writer, E. Lockhart, hinted that the story is far from over. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lockhart stated that We Were Liars is "not a limited series." Emily Alyn Lind, who plays Cadence, also expressed her desire to continue the story, saying that her character has only done "the bare minimum" of confronting her past.

What Would We Were Liars Season 2 Be About?

If a second season were to happen, it could explore Cadence's journey to separate herself from her family and their toxic dynamics. Lockhart mentioned that this could be an ongoing journey for Cadence, as she tries to break free from her family's rigid rules and prejudices. Alternatively, the show could adapt Lockhart's 2022 prequel novel, Family of Liars, which is set in 1987 and follows the older generation of Sinclair sisters when they were teens.

Which Cast Members Would Return?

If a second season were to continue the original storyline, Emily Alyn Lind would likely reprise her role as Cadence. However, if the show were to adapt the prequel novel, an entirely new cast would be introduced. Joseph Zada, who played Johnny, could make a reappearance, given his character's haunting presence in the finale.
