The Latest Update On ‘We Were Liars' Season 2 On Amazon Prime Video
We Were Liars
Amazon has a new no. 1 series on its top 10 list, an unexpected hit adapted from yet another novel. That would be We Were Liars, the drama about a group of friends and their irritating rich parents and grandfather. The series had a rather shocking ending, and in some ways, seemed pretty conclusive.
It is not, however, fully conclusive, and fans are now wondering what the status of season 2 is. Bad news and good news there. The bad news is that Amazon has not renewed We Were Liars for a second season, albeit with the caveat that it is really early for something like that to be announced.
The good news is that between the show's performance and its abundance of source material, a second season or even a spin-off could be in the works. We Were Liars is the first of a two-book series, the second being We Fell Apart. It's in the same 'world' as We Were Liars, albeit with almost a wholly different cast of characters. Then there's a prequel book, Family of Liars, about a different generation in the story, which would again, have a largely new cast. Here's the synopsis for We Fell Apart:
'The invitation arrives out of the blue. In it, Matilda discovers a father she's never met. Kingsley Cello is a visionary, a reclusive artist. And when he asks her to spend the summer at his seaside home, Hidden Beach, Matilda expects to find a part of herself she's never fully understood.'
'Instead, she finds Meer, her long-lost, openhearted brother; Brock, a former child star battling demons; and brooding, wild Tatum, who just wants her to leave their crumbling sanctuary.'
We Fell Apart
The existence of more source material is not the only talk about season 2, which has also come from its cast. Here's star Natalie Alyn Lind speaking to Us about her fate:
'I don't think Cadence is done whatsoever. I think that there's a beauty to how she gets on that boat and leaves, but this is just her leaving,' Lind said. 'But what does that mean? There's an entire legacy. She has to figure out how to get along with her grandfather, so her secrets don't leak or burn the place to the ground again. There [are]But the cast wouldn't be back, right? That leaves another option. They could not do the source material and write a second season that does continue Cadence's story and brings back a lot of the cast. The other books could be adapted later or as parallel projects.
It is almost certain the We Were Liars will be renewed, but the form it would take is an open question that no one can answer yet.
