The popular drama series We Were Liars has officially been renewed for a second season, the network announced today.
The show, which premiered earlier this year, follows a group of teenagers navigating family secrets and personal trauma on a private island. It’s based on the bestselling novel by E. Lockhart.
Season one drew strong viewership numbers and critical acclaim for its handling of complex themes.
The renewal comes after months of speculation from fans about the show’s future. Social media campaigns pushed for the continuation of the series throughout the summer.
“We’re thrilled to continue telling this story,” said the show’s creator in a statement. “There’s so much more to explore with these characters.”
Production on the second season is expected to begin early next year. The network hasn’t announced a premiere date yet.
The original cast is expected to return for the new episodes. Contract negotiations are reportedly underway with the main actors.
Season one ended on a major cliffhanger that left viewers with questions about the main character’s future.
The show has performed particularly well with younger demographics. Streaming numbers have remained consistently high since the finale aired.
Industry insiders say the renewal was considered likely given the show’s performance across multiple platforms. The series has also generated significant buzz on social media throughout its run.
More details about season two’s storyline and production timeline are expected in the coming weeks.
