\n\tMeet The Sinclairs, again. Prime Video<\/a> has assembled the main new cast of We Were Liars<\/a> Season 2, which flashes back to two and a half decades before the events in the first season. Josh Dallas<\/a><\/strong> (Manifest), Costa D\u2019Angelo<\/strong> (Tell Me Lies), Peyton List<\/a><\/strong> (The Rookie), Madison Wolfe<\/strong> (True Detective), Parker Lapaine<\/strong> (House of the Dragon) and Elysia Roorbach <\/strong>(The Pitt) have been tapped as series regulars in the second installment, which draws inspiration form Family of Liars, E. Lockhart\u2019s prequel novel to We Were Liars, on which Season 1 was based.<\/p>\n

\n\tDallas and List play younger versions of patriarch Harris and matriarch Tipper, while Lapaine, Roorbach and Wolfe portray younger versions of their daughters Carrie, Penny and Bess, respectively. In Season 1, the roles were played by David Morse (Harris Sinclair), Wendy Crewson (Tipper), Mammie Gummer (Carrie), Caitlin Fitzgerald (Penny) and Candice King (Bess).<\/p>\n

\n\tD\u2019Angelo plays Pfeff, a new character to the series who is from the Family of Liars book. <\/p>\n

\n\tReturning from Season 1 are Emily Alyn Lind as the series narrator, Penny\u2019s daughter Cadence Sinclair, and Joseph Zada (Haymitch in the upcoming The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping) as Carrie\u2019s son Johnny Sinclair, two of the titular Liars.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Season 2, in an effort to confront her truth, Cadence (Lind) returns to Beechwood. As she digs deeper into family secrets, she learns about the Sinclair Sisters\u2019 summer of 1999 \u2014 a summer rife with first love, rivalry, and even murder. In flashbacks, we see Carrie (Lapaine), Penny (Roorbach), and Bess (Wolfe) navigate their own teenage summer, as they come to terms with their past in the present day.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tCosta D\u2019Angelo<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJonny Marlow<\/p>\n

\n\tCharming, well-heeled, and dedicated to raising his daughters to honor the family name, Harris (Dallas) is a hard worker, a loyal husband, and stoic in the face of crisis. Despite already having command of a media empire, Harris often finds himself cast in the shadow of his even more charming \u2013 and far more reckless \u2013 older brother, the only person standing in the way of the future he envisions\u2026<\/p>\n

\n\tThe young matriarch of a Kennedy-esque dynasty, Tipper (List) can bake a perfect pie, host the hell out of a dinner party, and deftly pull the strings in her husband\u2019s quest for more wealth and power. She\u2019s always done it all with effortless grace and old-money elegance \u2013 but this year, a family crisis exposes her sharp edges, her icy temper, and her dirty little secrets.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the summer of 1999, Carrie (Lapaine) is sensitive, quick-witted, and yearning to be loved. Ostensibly, she is the Harvard-bound, well-heeled, obedient eldest daughter\u2026 until an intriguing new boy arrives on the island, and tempts her with a very different kind of future.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith a competitive streak a mile wide, Penny (Roorbach) is charming, popular, and a hopeless romantic \u2013 for now, anyway. She deftly hides her struggles with her body image and a burgeoning panic disorder hidden from everyone, until someone unexpected sees beyond her \u201cPerfect Penny\u201d mask.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe summer she turns 16, Bess (Wolfe) dreams of being a songwriter, an adventurer, and most importantly\u2026 nothing like her mother. Desperate to fit in with the older kids, especially the three college-age boys who have unexpectedly moved into the guest house, Bess will do anything to impress them\u2026 including some things she\u2019ll live to regret.<\/p>\n

\n\tA New England college kid with a mysterious edge, Pfeff (D\u2019Angelo) is observant, soulful, and wounded in the most compelling way. When he shows up on Beechwood Island, he doesn\u2019t really intend to upend the Sinclair sisters\u2019 lives \u2013 but it\u2019s an inevitability.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe Were Liars Season 2 is written and executive produced by co-showrunners Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie. Also executive producing are Emily Cummins for My So-Called Company, Brett Matthews, Marguerite MacIntyre and the novel\u2019s author, E. Lockhart.
