We Were Liars TV Show: Cast, Synopsis, and Teaser Breakdown
Prime Video is preparing to launch the much-anticipated We Were Liars TV show, adapted from E. Lockhart’s bestselling novel.
The newly dropped We Were Liars teaser trailer hints at the series’ emotional and psychological undercurrents, showing glimpses of Cadence Sinclair Eastman (played by Emily Alyn Lind) and her close-knit circle known as “the Liars” as they navigate summer life on their wealthy grandfather’s New England private island.
The official synopsis of We Were Liars reveals a tightly woven mystery: beneath the family’s polished, privileged surface, Cadence’s world fractures after a traumatic accident leaves her with gaps in memory.

The We Were Liars series is led by showrunners Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries, Legacies) and Carina Adly MacKenzie (Roswell, New Mexico, The Originals), with production by Universal Television and Amazon MGM Studios.
