We Were Liars Season 2: Renewal status, potential release date and everything we know so far
If you've just finished watching We Were Liars on Prime Video and are still staring at your screen in shock after that season 1 finale—same. It was emotional, twisted, and totally unexpected. And now, like the rest of us, you're probably wondering: Are we going back to Beechwood Island for another round of Sinclair family secrets?
Let's talk about what's going on with season 2—because while there's no official answer yet, there's definitely some hopeful noise. Has We Were Liars Been Renewed for Season 2?
As of now (end of July 2025), Prime Video hasn't made an official announcement about renewing We Were Liars for another season. The show only dropped on June 18, so it's still pretty fresh, and streaming platforms usually take a few weeks (sometimes longer) to see how a show is performing before giving it the green light.
But here's the good news: it's doing really well. Like, number-one-in-over-20-countries well. And that kind of buzz doesn't go unnoticed.
Even though there's no renewal yet, E. Lockhart—the author of the book the series is based on—recently said, 'I don't have any news to share about season two yet. [But] it's not a limited series!' That alone gives us hope. Add in the fact that the showrunners (Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie) have also shown interest in continuing the story, and yeah—it feels like something is definitely brewing. We Were Liars Season 2 Expected Cast
The cast depends on where the story goes: Prequel Route ( Family of Liars ) : We'd likely see a younger cast playing teenage Penny, Carrie, and Bess in the 1987 setting. Mamie Gummer and Joseph Zada would probably return, since Carrie's talks with Johnny's ghost are central to the prequel. Cadence, Mirren, and Gat (Emily Alyn Lind, Esther McGregor, and Shubham Maheshwari) might sit this one out, as they don't appear in the book.

Cadence, Mirren, and Gat (Emily Alyn Lind, Esther McGregor, and Shubham Maheshwari) might sit this one out, as they don't appear in the book. Present-Day Story: Emily Alyn Lind would be back as Cadence, dealing with her post-island life. Mamie Gummer and Joseph Zada could return for more Carrie-and-Johnny ghost scenes. Caitlin FitzGerald (Penny), Candice King (Bess), and David Morse (Harris) might also pop up, but Mirren and Gat's ghosts might not if Cadence's story moves off the island.
One catch: Joseph Zada's role in Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping might mess with his schedule, but his ghost character makes him a strong candidate to return either way. We Were Liars Season 2 Potential Release Date
If Prime Video gives the go-ahead soon, the earliest we might see season 2 is sometime in 2026. The timeline kind of tracks—season 1 was ordered in 2023, filmed in mid-2024, and released in June 2025. So a similar schedule could be possible for a follow-up.
But here's where it gets a little tricky: season 2 might not be a direct continuation. There's a chance they go the prequel route, which would mean a different cast and storyline (and probably more time to film). On the flip side, if they choose to pick up from the present-day story—or align with Lockhart's upcoming companion novel, We Fell Apart (releasing in November 2025)—we might be looking at a 2026 release, especially if production kicks off soon after the book drops.

And Just Like That…: Here's What We Want to See for Each Character Before the Show Ends
Pour us another round of cosmos, because we're preparing ourselves to say goodbye to the ladies of And Just Like That. HBO Max's Sex and the City sequel series is officially ending after three seasons — which means we only have two episodes left with Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and the rest of the gang. (The series finale airs Thursday, Aug. 14 at 9/8c.) And there are plenty of loose plot threads still hanging out there, so showrunner Michael Patrick King and the writers will have to work hard to come up with a pair of final episodes that will wrap everything up in a nice, chic bow. More from TVLine Sarah Jessica Parker and Her Co-Stars Offer Emotional Tributes as And Just Like That Reveals End Date And Just Like That... Shocker: Sex and the City Revival to End With Season 3 at HBO Max And Just Like That: Carrie Gets Closer to Duncan - But Is It Too Close? So we here at TVLine thought we'd do some of the heavy lifting for them. (As longtime Sex and the City fans, we feel certain we're qualified.) Below, we've laid out exactly what we need to see from each major character on And Just Like That before the curtain falls for good — and that includes the return of a few familiar faces from the past. Read on to see our wish list for And Just Like That's farewell, and then hit the comments to tell us what you want to see in the final two episodes. Carrie She already said goodbye to Aidan, so we don't have to worry about her making that mistake again. And she does have solid chemistry with her fellow writer Duncan. We're most excited, though, about her new journey as a novelist. So we'd love it if Carrie's new book became a sensation and took her to London, where she could cozy up with Duncan — and also reunite with a certain someone… Samantha Hello, fabulous! The fact that Duncan lives in London gives And Just Like That the perfect excuse to bring back fellow London resident Samantha for a much-needed reunion. It just wasn't the same without Samantha Jones around, and a Kim Cattrall cameo in the finale (however brief) would help it feel like a proper send-off — not just to this show but to Sex and the City, too. Miranda We've been liking her low-key romance with Joy so far — a lot more than her volatile hook-up with Che, anyway — and we wouldn't mind seeing those two get a happy ending. But we still have a soft spot for Steve: It'd be nice to see him and Miranda mend fences and spend some time together with Brady as a family before And Just Like That signs off for good. (And no, yelling at Brady for getting a girl pregnant doesn't count.) Charlotte Yes, we're happy her husband Harry is cancer-free, and Charlotte seems content balancing her work at the art gallery with her life at home being a mom. But mostly, we want to see Charlotte step into the spotlight a little more in the final two episodes and push for her own happiness, rather than just being a dutiful housewife or a supportive shoulder for Carrie to cry on. This woman has feelings, too! We've known that since way back in the Sex and the City days, and we'd like to see a little of that old sparkle again. Seema Seema is the most compelling new character And Just Like That gave us, so it's a shame that we have to say goodbye to her so soon. But we're enjoying the unlikely romance she's having with landscaper Adam, and we'd love to see that love, um, bloom in the final two episodes. Plus, she needs to sign a big client and get her new firm on track. Lisa Michelle Obama needs to show up and make a cameo in the final two episodes, if only to justify all the talk about her being a part of Lisa's long-gestating documentary. And no, we don't need to see Lisa have a fling with her editor Marion. She's too dedicated to her family to do anything that impulsive. Anthony He already has his happily-ever-after all sewn up with that Italian stallion Giuseppe, so we just need mom Patti LuPone's approval to seal the deal. But it would be nice to see the show acknowledge his ex (and Carrie's bestie) Stanford, played by the late Willie Garson, one more time before it signs off. Nya Hey, remember her? After two seasons as Miranda's professor pal, Nya dropped off the radar completely in Season 3, so we'd love to see her at least pop in to say hi and get some closure in the final two episodes. Che And as for seeing Miranda's regrettable ex again? Nah, we're good. Let us know what you want to see in the final two episodes with a comment below!

Colorado movie car museum to find new home, auction dozens of cars, as apartments replace building
A popular movie car museum in the Denver metro area is closing its doors temporarily after this weekend, as the building will be demolished and hundreds of apartments, and possibly a hotel, will replace the space. Now, dozens of cars need to be auctioned off while the owner is working to find a new home. Rodz and Bodz Car Museum in Englewood keeps up to 100 cars on display at all times, with more than 180 cars in a rotating collection. Many of the cars are replicas or vehicles seen on the big screen. "We have cars that are screen-used too, like cars that have been driven by Jim Carrey. We have Justin Timberlake in the In Time challenger and just so many iconic pieces in here," said museum owner Zack Loffert. Loffert opened the first location during COVID at Colorado Mills Mall, then moved the museum to Greeley for a short stint before opening the location in Englewood last October. "Then two months after, they announced the apartments and the hotel," said Loffert. In a statement to CBS Colorado, the City says the developer made the decision to redevelop the shopping center in part due to increased demand for residential units in Englewood and throughout the Denver metro area. The City's approval for zoning allows for 300 apartment units, a parking structure and possibly a hotel. "Moving this museum, this will be the third time in a year and a half, so it's, it's one of those things, like, we don't want to do it again unless it's the final home," said Loffert. "It's one of those things that's kind of pushed us to say, 'Okay, no more leasing. We're going to buy our own building, so that way we don't have to do this anymore.'" An auction this month will help pay for a new home. Sixty cars and trucks will be auctioned off, with 460 total items including porcelain signs and gas pumps. "Herbie the Love Bug, you can go buy Herbie this month and drive it to work on Monday," said Loffert. "It's all the emotions, because they are, they're all my babies, and they all have a story." While the city says there is no estimated timeline of when the building will be demolished, Loffert is working to find a permanent, bigger and better home for the museum. "It's going to be a fully immersive movie set museum experience. So, each section you go to will be its own movie set. It's just like Hollywood, and it's going to be very, very cool," said Loffert. The last day the museum will be open is Sunday, August 3, with the museum closing at 6 p.m. The auction is happening on August 22 and 23. Loffert said he's interested in reopening along the 470 loop and staying centrally located due to the rental car company he also owns. You can find more information about Rodz and Bodz Museum or the auction itself here.
