Prime Video has released the first teaser trailer for its television adaptation of E. Lockhart’s best-selling young adult novel We Were Liars, set to Holly Humberstone’s “Falling Asleep At The Wheel.” All eight episodes will be available on Prime Video starting June 18, 2025.
“Once upon a time, there was a mythical land where it was always summer,” Emily Alyn Lind’s voiceover opens the clip. “We were happy. We wanted for nothing.”
Lind will play one of the four titular “Liars,” Cadence Sinclair. It is from her point of view that the story is told. What seems like an idyllic summer vacation show a la The Summer I Turned Pretty quickly turns into a darker thriller.
The show’s logline reads “We Were Liars 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. 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.”
Caitlin FitzGerald as Penny Sinclair, Mamie Gummer as Carrie Sinclair and Candice King as Bess Sinclair connect the core four characters as their respective mothers.
Alongside Lind, Subham Maheshwari will play Gat, Lind’s love interest. They can be seen writing on each other’s hands in the clip.
“We had a moment,” Lind says.
“I knew there was a vibe,” Esther McGregor’s Mirren says as she flops on the bed next to Cadence.
Joseph Zada, who was recently cast as Haymitch in The Hunger Games prequel film absed on Suzanne Collins’ latest novel Sunrise on the Reaping will play Johnny.

“Something terrible happened last summer,” Lind’s voice closes out the trailer as the clip transitions from her and Gat jumping into the ocean with just her body underwater, her hair died brunette. “And no one will tell me what. When you’re left for dead, you want answers.”
