Watch: Prime Video highlights 'We Were Liars' in teaser for June slate
June 2 (UPI) -- Prime Video is teasing the mystery thriller We Were Liars.
The teen drama is part of the streamer's June slate of releases previewed in a video Sunday.
"Once upon a time, there was a mythical land where it was always summer," a voice says as the trailer begins.
Viewers see Cadence Sinclair Eastman (Emily Alyn Lind) and Gat Patil (Shubham Maheshwari) in an outdoor shower together, during an apparent beach day.
The series, adapted from E. Lockhart's novel, follows Cadence and the Liars, which is the name given to "her tight-knit inner circle," according to an official synopsis.
As the preview continues, it becomes apparent that the series is not a summer romance story after all.
"After a mysterious accident changes Cadence's life forever, everyone, including her beloved Liars, seems to have something to hide," the description reads.
Esther McGregor, Joseph Zada, Caitlin FitzGerald, Mamie Gummer, Candice King, Rahul Kohli and David Morse also star in the series, which arrives on Prime Video June 18.
The streamer also highlighted BMF Season 4, which premieres June 6, American Thunder: NASCAR to LeMans and Deep Cover, both of which debut June 12, and Echo Valley, which arrives June 13.
Season 5 of The Chosen: Last Supper premieres June 15 and Countdown premieres June 25.
Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan, lands on the streamer June 3, while Sonic the Hedgehog 3 arrives June 17, and Nosferatu arrives June 24.

MrBeast borrows money to pay for wedding
MrBeast has confessed he has "very little money" and is borrowing from his mother to pay for his upcoming wedding. Despite being worth an estimated $1 billion (£740 million) according to Celebrity Net Worth, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, claims he needs his family's support to fund his upcoming nuptials to his fiancée, fellow content creator Thea Booysen. Responding to a post on X which described MrBeast as "the only billionaire under 30 to have not inherited his wealth", the YouTube star with more than 400 million subscribers responded: "I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything. I think this year we'll spend around a quarter of a billion on content." "Ironically, I'm actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol," he continued, adding, "But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot." MrBeast not only posts across various social media platforms - where his videos often feature outrageous stunts and big-money giveaways - but he's also the host of the reality competition series Beast Games, which awarded its first season winner a record-breaking $10 million (£7.4 million) in prize money. At Amazon's annual upfront presentation in May, it was announced that Prime Video's most-watched unscripted show was being renewed for Seasons 2 and 3.

‘Real Housewives' hubby Girardi sentenced to 7+ years for embezzlement
June 3 (UPI) -- "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills " husband and former attorney Tom Girardi will spend real time in a federal prison for stealing $15 million from his former clients. U.S. District Court for Central California Judge Josephine Staton on Tuesday sentenced Girardi, 86, to seven years and three months in federal prison. Staton also ordered Girardi to pay $2.3 million in restitution and fines and on Monday ruled his dementia won't keep him out of prison. Girardi is the estranged husband of the reality show's Erika Jayne, and a federal jury in August convicted him on four counts of wire fraud for embezzling millions from his clients over 10 years. His victims include relatives of some of the victims of the 2018 Lion Air crash in the Java Sea that killed 189 people. Girardi embezzled $3 million from several surviving family members of the tragedy's victims. Instead of ordering Girardi to stay in a long-term care facility due to his dementia, Staton ordered him to report to prison to start serving his sentence on July 17. Staton presided over a three-hour hearing on Monday, during which two medical experts brought by the prosecution testified about Girardi's medical condition. Two witnesses also testified on Girardi's behalf, and he took the stand to testify in his defense. Girardi's testimony indicated confusion and a lack of awareness regarding his current situation. He told the court he recently traveled the country and has an active case in Oklahoma. Girardi, though, was a resident in an assisted living home in California and kept in its secure memory care area for the past two years. He also underwent psychological evaluation for six weeks in North Carolina at the start of the year. During Monday's hearing, Girardi at times said he has "serious memory loss" when asked about his current situation. Staton ruled that his responses demonstrated Girardi's self-awareness. As Girardi exited the witness stand, his trousers began to drop, but he quickly righted them, which Staton said further demonstrated his mental awareness. His attorneys asked Staton to require him to stay at his current assisted living facility, but she sentenced him to serve his time at an appropriate federal prison facility. Girardi formerly was among attorneys representing victims during the 1993 Pacific Gas and Electric Co. lawsuit that inspired the "Erin Brockovich" film starring Julia Roberts that was released in 2000.

NYC jury to decide Weinstein's fate following closing arguments
June 3 (UPI) -- Closing arguments got underway Tuesday after former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein's legal defense team rested in the retrial of his vacatedrape conviction in New York. The retrial began six weeks ago with Weinstein, 73, charged with rape and sex crimes against three women accusers, who accused him of attacking them while in Manhattan between 2006 and 2013. He had been convicted of rape and criminal sexual assault by a New York jury five years ago and was sentenced to 23 years in prison. An appellate court overturned the conviction a year ago with a 4-3 ruling due to a trial judge improperly allowing "irrelevant" and "prejudicial" testimony and other evidence. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said his office would refile charges against Weinstein. The current trial accuses Weinstein of two counts of first-degree criminal sexual act and one count of third-degree rape. A jury of seven women and two men likely will begin deliberations by the end of the day on Tuesday. Prosecutors have argued Weinstein used his position in Hollywood to control the three alleged victims, who were trying to find work in television and film. His accusers are Miriam Haley, Jessica Mann and Kaja Sokola, who testified against Weinstein and said they were young and seeking careers in Hollywood with Weinstein's help. Prosecutors brought 24 witnesses before the court to testify against Weinstein, whose legal team has argued his accusers engaged in consensual acts. The witnesses included former assistants to Weinstein; relatives and friends of his accusers; and hotel workers at locations where he is accused of assaulting the alleged victims. None of the witnesses who triggered the appellate court's ruling overturning Weinstein's conviction testified in the current trial. Weinstein also did not testify in the current or prior trial. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. If found guilty on any of the charges, Weinstein likely will spend the rest of his life in prison. Even if found innocent, Weinstein would remain imprisoned for his 2022 conviction on similar charges in a separate case in California. His legal team has appealed that conviction. Weinstein's downfall significantly contributed to the rise of the #MeToo movement in 2017 after The New York Times and the New York Daily News reported details of the accusations against him. Others formerly accused of sexual misconduct include actor Kevin Spacey, comedian Louis C.K., and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Rapper and music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is being tried in federal court in Manhattan on similar charges.
