Prime Video's "We Were Liars" Series Set To Binge On June 18

Forget your summer beach read—Prime Video is turning E. Lockhart’s twisty bestseller We Were Liars into an eight‑episode binge starting June 18. Imagine old‑money Sinclair royalty, endless seaside days, and one catastrophic accident that leaves Cadence Sinclair Eastman (Emily Alyn Lind) with amnesia—and a whole lot of questions.

Meet the Liars (and the Guilty Parties) 

Cadence’s inner circle—Gat Patil (Shubham Maheshwari), Mirren Sinclair Sheffield (Esther McGregor), and Johnny Sinclair Dennis (Joseph Zada)—are her only anchors. But on that lush New England island, everyone’s hiding something, from matriarch Penny Sinclair (Caitlin FitzGerald) to scheming cousin Bess (Candice King) and even grandpa Harris (David Morse).

A TV Twist You Won’t See Coming 

Penned by Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries) and Carina Adly MacKenzie (The Originals), this adaptation promises the same jaw‑dropping secrets that made the novel a global phenomenon. With production from Universal Television and Amazon MGM Studios—and E. Lockhart herself on board as executive producer—expect glossy island vistas, family drama turned thriller, and a final reveal that’ll have you rewinding faster than you can say “We were Liars.”

Mark your calendars: June 18, Prime Video worldwide. Ready to join the Liars?
