We’ve been really excited by the results we’ve seen there, and it’s one of the shows that I hope will have some positive news to report soon.

What ‘We Were Liars’ Season 2 Could Look Like, According to Its Creators
The first season ended on a major cliffhanger as Cadence (Emily Alyn Lind) learned what had transpired on the fateful night she lost her memories. The cliffhanger hinted at more from the show, and co-creatorsJulie PlecandCarina Adly MacKenziehave a lot planned. They told Collider’sChristina Radishthat they haveplenty of source material to tap intoif a second season is a go. Apart from following the present timeline, the show could also explore the past from Lockhart’s prequel book, and more. Plec said:
“We have a lot of paths we can go down in future seasons while continuing to watch this family, and specifically Cadence, rebuild their souls, so to speak, and continue to fight the good and/or bad fight in present-day Beechwood Island. We also have many, many, many skeletons of the past that we can unearth, by going back and seeing what Beechwood was like before too. We have big plans. We need big viewers, and we will get in there and bring you great new stories as soon as possible.”
Sanders' comments hint at promising developments for Season 2, but the deal is not yet finalized. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates. In the meantime, watchWe Were Liarson Prime Video.
