We Were Liars Cast Reveals Who Stole From Set, Improvised Lines, And More
We Were Liars follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman and her tight-knit inner circle, nicknamed "The Liars," during every summer vacationing together at their grandfather's New England private island. While on the surface, the Sinclair family is known for their good looks, generational wealth, and their close bonds, after a life-altering accident, everyone seems to have something to hide.
The series was adapted by Julie Plec and Carina Adly Mackenzie, with Plec having co-created The Vampire Diaries and the various spinoffs, and Mackenzie having been a writer on The Originals and creating the Roswell, New Mexico reboot.
So, to celebrate my latest binge-watch hyperfixation, we had the Liars, aka Esther McGregor, Emily Alyn Lind, Shubham Maheshwari, and Joseph Zada, play a game of Who's Who, so we could get to know them all a little better and hear some great behind-the-scenes stories.
For starters, Shubham revealed that they all took a trip to the wardrobe department to look through clothes they could steal from the set after filming wrapped.
Joseph and Esther were most likely to improvise while filming We Were Liars, with Joseph even revealing that this line in Episode 4 was an improv that made the final cut:
And after some debate, they all agreed that Emily would be their go-to emergency contact because while she doesn't always answer a text, she would show up in a heartbeat and get you out of trouble.
Also, everyone unanimously agreed that Esther was the one to cry the hardest on the final day of filming We Were Liars.

Netflix's APAC Focus Boosts Prospects: Will the Momentum Continue?
Netflix's NFLX Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has become its strongest growth engine, consistently outpacing other markets over the past three quarters. In the second quarter of 2025, APAC revenues increased 24.1% year over year — the highest among all regions — compared to 14.7% growth in the United States & Canada and 18% in EMEA. Subscriber numbers continue climbing; the region now accounts for about 57.5 million members, making APAC a pivotal pillar in the company's global 'local for local' content strategy plays a crucial role. By investing in culturally resonant originals across key markets like Korea, India, Japan, Thailand and Southeast Asia, the company is winning over audiences with stories that connect deeply with local preferences. The growing adoption of its ad-supported tier, particularly in price-sensitive APAC regions, adds a high-margin revenue stream, while favorable currency trends have modestly boosted international revenues. Upcoming releases such as Genie, Make a Wish (South Korea), Inspector Zende (India) and Romantics Anonymous (Japan) further strengthen its regional slate, reinforcing Netflix's commitment to dominating APAC streaming growth potential remains convincing, backed by a robust market outlook. The region's video streaming market is expected to grow at a 22.6% CAGR through 2030. Valued at $62.27 billion in 2022, the OTT sector is set for rapid expansion through 2028, driven by affordable data plans, rising internet penetration and an expanding middle class. India stands out as the company's fastest-growing market, poised to deliver the highest CAGR among all regions in the coming international regions contributing over half of total revenues and APAC emerging as a key driver, Netflix's projected 2025 revenues of $45 billion reflect strong investor confidence. Continued investment in local content and ad-supported plans indicates that this momentum is not over yet. How Rivals Stack Up Against NFLX in the APAC Region Amazon (Prime Video) and Disney (Disney+) are intensifying their battle with Netflix in the APAC region, leveraging their strengths while addressing weaknesses to sharpen their competitive AMZN leverages its powerful e-commerce ecosystem to grow Prime Video across APAC, offering multilingual access and live sports rights that strengthen appeal. Amazon also benefits from Prime's global scale, making Prime Video widely available in Asian markets with competitive pricing. Yet, Amazon faces a challenge in APAC, where audiences favor locally resonant storytelling. Without deeper investment in regional originals, Prime Video risks losing ground to Netflix and faster-moving regional DIS leverages its powerful franchises — Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar — to draw families across APAC, supported by competitive pricing and bundles like Hotstar in India that often undercut Netflix. Disney's localization efforts, including IPL cricket and regional films, have fueled strong subscriber growth, sometimes surpassing Netflix in key markets. However, a heavy focus on family content and reliance on a few blockbuster franchises risks limiting broader appeal. To sustain its APAC edge, Disney+ must diversify into edgier, locally relevant originals. NFLX's Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates Shares of Netflix have gained 36% year to date compared with the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry's return of 27.4%. NFLX's YTD Price Performance Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Netflix trades at a premium with a forward 12-month P/S ratio of 10.59 compared to the broader Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry's forward earnings multiple of 5.03.
