We Were Liars Trailer: Emily Alyn Lind Seeks Truth In Bloody Mystery On Beechwood Island
Last Updated:
In We Were Liars, Emily Alyn Lind returns to her family's island to uncover a bloody secret she can't remember.
The secrets of Beechwood Island are beginning to surface. Prime Video dropped the trailer for We Were Liars, the highly anticipated adaptation of E. Lockhart's bestselling novel, and it teases a haunting tale of memory, love, and betrayal.
Set against the backdrop of a seemingly perfect summer, the trailer introduces us to Cadence Sinclair (Emily Alyn Lind), the golden girl of the Sinclair family, who returns to her family's exclusive New England island retreat with no memory of the previous summer — and a desperate need to uncover what really happened.
'Some people call us American royalty," Cadence says in a voiceover as the trailer opens with scenic shots of beach bonfires and sailing. She reminisces about her tight-knit group of friends, dubbed 'the Liars": Mirren (Esther McGregor), Johnny (Joseph Zada), and Gat (Shubham Maheshwari).
But the serene summer facade is soon shattered. 'We were happy, we wanted for nothing. But something terrible happened last summer. And I have no memory of what — or who — hurt me," she says.
Returning to the island with dyed-black hair and emotional scars, Cadence hopes the familiar surroundings will spark her memory. Her mother (Caitlin FitzGerald) confides in her sister Carrie (Mamie Gummer), 'She's hoping that being here will jog her memory."
As Cadence reconnects with the Liars — and the memory of her intense summer romance with Gat — buried secrets slowly unravel. She begins to question whether her closest friends are hiding something dark. 'I need to see if all the lies lead to me, on that beach, alone," she reflects.
Hints of danger emerge, particularly around Johnny, whose mother warns him sternly, 'You cannot tell anyone, do you understand me?"
With haunting imagery and suspenseful reveals, the trailer ends with Cadence's chilling words: 'Not every fable ends happily. Some stories have no hero at all. Sometimes, the castle crumbles."
The limited series stars Emily Alyn Lind, Shubham Maheshwari, Esther McGregor, Joseph Zada, Caitlin FitzGerald, Mamie Gummer, Candice King, Rahul Kohli, and David Morse.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Are Planning Kids Already? Latter Says He's ‘Praying' For it
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are no strangers to honesty and their love for each other. So, the American record producer recently spoke about his plans to have a family of his own someday, we could only nod in agreement. The engaged couple has been all about love and support, so it seems only a matter of time before a little one enters their lives. Talking to InStyle about his love for kids, the 37-year-old spoke about being an uncle at the moment, however, he plans to have children of his own to satiate his adoration of them. Following the announcement of their engagement, which came in December 2024, the couple has been very lovey-dovey, sharing cute, romantic moments from their daily lives, and making all of us singles jealous. Now, the Payphone hitmaker has shared his desire to have kids in the future, and it only seems like a hint of what's to come. Speaking about his love for the tiny ones, he added how intensely he's thinking about becoming a dad, saying, 'I want to be a dad, though, God willing. I'm just dreaming and praying every day.' And while it comes as no surprise that the singer is already thinking about it, the cogs in our minds are already churning as we imagine the massive talent that Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez 's offspring would be born with. Moreover, the beauty mogul herself has previously expressed her own wish to become a mum one day, and we think it may only be a matter of time before the couple announces the happy news to their fans. However, the 32-year-old also revealed how it would not be possible for her to bear her own children. Due to pre-existing medical issues, the songstress will not be able to carry any, thereby avoiding any lives in jeopardy. The power couple seems to be deep into planning their whole wedding, with Ed Sheeran seemingly already receiving an invite.

Help wanted: Experienced garbologists
R Edwin Sudhir, a Bengaluru-based journalist and writer, has the interesting privilege of living in a once-sleepy town which has morphed into a city fast-forwarding into a connected world but sadly disconnected with the ground realities of more people competing for shrinking space. The experience is oddly exhilarating yet often mildly alarming for long-time residents who see how technology has transformed a sleepy beantown into a bustling boomtown. And swept its residents too in the headlong rush to keep pace. LESS ... MORE Bengaluru generates humongous tonnes of garbage every day. The city's civic body may give you an official figure but the actual figure could be higher, as it usually is with government data. A lot of it ends up on pavements and street corners and some piles up on overflowing vans parked by the roads. Much of it is carted away by smelly vehicles which do the rounds every morning. Men from them dart across to pick up (mostly) black, (often) biodegradable bags from bungalows or tip the contents of blue, plastic drums from apartments into their trucks. Off they go to one landfill or the other on the outskirts of the city. This exercise is repeated every morning with some regularity, marred by festival days or flash strikes. Some of this garbage is segregated and some is mixed. That's why Greater Bengaluru Authority desperately needs garbologists. Its precursor, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike, tried bravely to deal with the refuse but GBA needs men and women trained in garbology. Sadly, no university in India seems to offer this course and that's where the three Bengaluru universities can be pioneers. There are several models, like the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Our varsities can use the American models to design course content and customise material to local conditions. Students can intern with GBA and once they graduate, they can be absorbed into its solid waste department. It's not rocket science, after all. Collect waste from residents, segregrate it and dispose it as per protocol. Waste-to-energy management is a huge opportunity for entrepreneurs willing to get their hands dirty. Anu Aga's Thermax Ltd in Pune has shown it's eminently possible. Of course, residents need to do their bit, without leaving everything to the SWD. For starters, segregate waste, ensure black spots don't form, don't dump plastic water bottles and empty chips packets into drains, among others. Every bit helps. To circle back a bit, garbologists are not only waste disposers. They analyse a city's waste to look for patterns of how it's generated and look for better ways to clear it. Bengaluru will be going to the root cause of the garbage problem and hopefully find solutions quickly. Lest we are forced to suffer an olfactory assault of rotting waste and suffer the ignominy of going from Garden City Garbage City in the span of just a few decades.
