Warning: this post contains major spoilers for We Were Liars season 1.
If you finished all episodes of Prime Video’s We Were Liars already and can’t stop thinking about the show’s future after that shocking ending, you are not alone.
Based on E. Lockhart’s 2014 bestselling novel of the same name and featuring the original author as both a writer and producer, We Were Liars is Prime Video’s latest bet on the YA territory, following the success of Jenny Han’s The Summer I Turned Pretty.
The first eight-episode season of We Were Liars follows the story of “The Liars,” led by Cadence “Cady” Sinclair Eastman (played by Gossip Girl alum Emily Alyn Lind) alongside her cousins and her best friend turned lover Gat (Shubham Maheshwari), the nephew of her aunt’s longtime partner. The show focuses on the Sinclairs’ lavish summer at Beechwood Island, just off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, with more than one mystery to boot.

🚨 MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW 🚨
Season 1 of We Were Liars covers the events of two summers. In the first one, Cady returns to Beechwood Island to reunite with her cousins and realizes she has a crush on her best friend, Gat. Things soon turn steamy; however, Cady also suffers a mysterious accident that leaves her with memory loss.
The following summer, Cady comes back to the island determined to figure out the forgotten missing pieces that led to her accident and reunites with the Liars after a year of no contact, but nobody is willing to answer her questions.
In the final episode of the season, it is revealed that all of the Liars, minus Cady, had actually died the summer prior in a fire that burned down their beloved mansion, and our titular girl had been interacting with their ghosts this whole time.
