After that final episode of Prime Video's We Were Liars, it's safe to say that many will be wondering if there's more to be fleshed out in this picture-perfect (yet deeply twisted) world of Beechwood and the Sinclair family.
The cliffhanger ending certainly pointed at there being more material left for the series adaptation, especially seeing as that scene didn't take place between Carrie and Johnny in the original E Lockhart novel.
But could there be a second season of We Were Liars? Read on for everything we know so far.
Will there be a We Were Liars season 2?
Seeing as the series has just landed on the platform this month and continues to be in its top 10 shows, we'll likely get more of a concrete answer when viewership figures are confirmed later down the line.
Speaking to TVLine about the season 1 finale, she said: "That final scene with Carrie and Johnny is very close to the opening of my second book in the We Were Liars universe, which is called Family of Liars.
Filming took place on season 1 throughout summer 2024, with the release date on 18th June 2025 so it was quite the speedy turnaround. However, the series was ordered back in 2023 so it was quite the wait between the show's initial announcement and release.
If the series were to be renewed soon, we could be looking at a potential release date of 2026 or 2027 depending on scheduling.
Who could star in a potential We Were Liars season 2?
For this reason, if the TV series does follow on to encapsulate the next novel, it will likely mean a whole new cast as we dip back in time to the Sinclair family in the '80s. We'd likely expect Carrie and her sisters to potentially make an appearance in the present day, so would anticipate the returns of Mamie Gummer as Carrie, but also Caitlin FitzGerald and Candice King.
The cast we'd expect to see in a potential We Were Liars season 2 are as follows.
Mamie Gummer as CarrieJoseph Zada as Johnny Sinclair DennisCaitlin FitzGerald as Penny Sinclair Candice King as Bess SinclairDavid Morse as Harris SinclairWendy Crewson as Tipper SinclairLind did tease a potential angle for season 2, though, pointing at the possibility of another season 2 direction for her character after her grandfather threatened to expose her role in the fire.
Similarly, screenwriter and producer Carina Adly MacKenzie did say of the original cast's potential to return for season 2: “We do love our present-day cast. We wouldn’t want them to go anywhere either.” So, we could certainly be seeing more of the Liars, after all.
What could a potential We Were Liars season 2 be about?
Speaking to Swoon, showrunners MacKenzie and Plec said they'd have “happily done twice as many [episodes] over the course of the season, just to be able to live longer and dig deeper into all of the characters. Hopefully, a season 2 will fix that problem, and we’ll be able to really revel in the stories of, for example, the Sinclair sisters".
MacKenzie added: “One of our big intentions in building out the sisters the way that we did was that hopefully viewers will want to know how these villainous women became [the people that they are].”
