We Were Liars (2025) on Prime Video: Cast, Plot, Release Date & Everything You Need to Know

🕯️ We Were Liars — Want for Nothing… Except the Truth | Premieres June 18 on Prime Video


“We are Sinclairs. No one is needy. No one is wrong.”


But what if everything we’ve believed about the Sinclair family is a lie?


🏝️ A Summer You’ll Never Forget

Amazon Prime Video’s newest psychological thriller, We Were Liars, premieres June 18, 2025, and it’s already shaping up to be this summer’s most haunting obsession. Based on the best-selling YA novel by E. Lockhart, the series peels back the glossy exterior of wealth, family, and privilege to expose a truth that’s as tragic as it is unforgettable.

Set against the serene backdrop of a private island off the coast of New England, the story follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman and her tight-knit cousins and friends — affectionately known as the Liars. Every summer, they reunite on the Sinclair family’s island estate for idyllic days of swimming, sun, secrets… and, eventually, silence.

Until everything changes.


💔 A Family of Perfect Lies


The Sinclairs are American royalty — beautiful, influential, and terrifyingly repressed. But when Cadence suffers a life-altering accident, she returns the following summer with fragmented memories and a creeping suspicion that something is terribly wrong.


Why is no one talking about the past? What really happened on that night? And why do the Liars seem to be hiding something — even from each other?


🎭 Meet the Liars


The ensemble cast brings fresh energy and emotional weight to each member of the story’s haunted circle:

  • Emily Alyn Lind (Doctor Sleep, Gossip Girl) as the sharp, damaged Cadence Sinclair Eastman, whose memory loss fuels the mystery.

  • Shubham Maheshwari as Gat Patil, the philosophical outsider with a romantic history and deep moral conflicts.

  • Esther McGregor as Mirren Sinclair Sheffield, poised but brittle, hiding more than she lets on.

  • Joseph Zada as Johnny Sinclair Dennis, loyal, carefree — and suspiciously evasive.


Also starring:

  • Caitlin FitzGerald as Penny Sinclair (Cadence’s mother)

  • Mamie Gummer, Candice King, and Wendy Crewson as the fractured Sinclair sisters

  • Rahul Kohli as Ed Patil

  • David Morse as Harris Sinclair, the cold, controlling patriarch who rules the family like a CEO


🧠 From Page to Screen


Helmed by showrunners Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals) and Carina Adly MacKenzie (Roswell, New Mexico), the series embraces the slow-burning tension and emotional devastation of Lockhart’s novel while enhancing it for television. With haunting cinematography and an atmospheric score, We Were Liars invites viewers to question every word, every flashback, and every polished smile.


👀 Expect…


  • A twist-heavy narrative that keeps you second-guessing until the final episode

  • Themes of guilt, memory, privilege, and generational trauma

  • A shocking finale faithful to the novel, yet elevated in its visual and emotional impact

  • Beautiful, melancholy vibes that fans of Big Little Lies, Sharp Objects, and The Summer I Turned Pretty will devour


📅 Mark Your Calendar


We Were Liars premieres June 18, 2025, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the novel or discovering the Sinclairs for the first time, prepare to uncover secrets that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

After all, some lies are beautiful — until the truth surfaces.


“Do not accept an evil you can change.”


Are you ready to remember what they want you to forget?
