We Were Liars Trailer: Dark Family Secrets Threaten An American Dynasty In Prime Video Adaptation

It's going to be a cruel summer on Prime Video, as you'll see in the official trailer for the streamer's forthcoming adaptation of E. Lockhart's We Were Liars.

Based on Lockhart's 2014 mystery thriller, the series "follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman and her tight-knit inner circle, nicknamed the Liars, during their summer escapades on her grandfather's New England private island," per Prime Video's official logline. "The Sinclairs are American royalty — known for their good looks, old money and enviable bond — but after a mysterious accident changes Cadence's life forever, everyone, including her beloved Liars, seems to have something to hide."

We Were Liars stars Emily Alyn Lind (Max's Gossip Girl) as Cadence, newcomer Shubham Maheshwari as Gat Patil, Esther McGregor (High School) as Mirren Sinclair Sheffield, Joseph Zada (Invisible Boys) as Johnny Sinclair Dennis, Caitlin FitzGerald (Masters of Sex) as Penny Sinclair, Mamie Gummer (The Good Wife) as Carrie Sinclair, Candice King (The Vampire Diaries) as Bess Sinclair, Rahul Kohli (The Haunting of Bly Manor) as Ed Patil and David Morse (Treme) as Harris Sinclair.

Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries, Legacies) and Carina Adly MacKenzie (Roswell, New Mexico, The Originals) serve as showrunners, executive-producing alongside Lockhart, Emily Cummins (Vampire Academy), Brett Matthews (Legacies) and Pascal Verschooris (The Vampire Diaries).

All eight episodes of We Were Liars will be available to stream on Wednesday, June 18. Hit PLAY on the trailer above for an extended first look, then drop a comment with your thoughts. Will you be tuning in?
