We Were Liars Season 2 Adds Josh Dallas, Peyton List, and Four More as Series Regulars

We Were Liars has added six new series regulars to its cast as it heads back to the summer of 1999 for Season 2.

The people joining the cast are Josh Dallas (Once Upon a Time) as Young Harris, Parker Lapaine (House of the Dragon) as Young Carrie, Peyton List (The Rookie) as Young Tipper, Elysia Roorbach (The Pitt) as Young Penny, and Madison Wolfe (The Hunting Wives) as Young Bess. 

In We Were Liars Season 1, David Morse played Harris Sinclair, and Wendy Crewson played Tipper, while Mammie Gummer, Caitlin Fitzgerald, and Candice King played Carrie, Penny, and Bess, respectively. 

Costa D’Angelo (Tell Me Lies) joins Season 2 as Pfeff, a character from E. Lockhart’s Family of Liars — the prequel to We Were Liars. 

He is described as “a New England college kid with a mysterious edge,…observant, soulful, and wounded in the most compelling way. When he shows up on Beechwood Island, he doesn’t really intend to upend the Sinclair sisters’ lives – but it’s an inevitability.”

They will be joined by Emily Alyn Lind, who returns as the narrator and Penny’s daughter, Cadence Sinclair, and Joseph Zada, who plays Carrie’s son, Johnny Sinclair. 

Deadline confirms that Dempsey Bryke will also reprise the role of Ebon for Season 2. 

We Were Liars‘ Season 2 logline reads as follows:

In an effort to confront her truth, Cadence returns to Beechwood. As she digs deeper into family secrets, she learns about the Sinclair Sisters’ summer of 1999 — a summer rife with first love, rivalry, and even murder. In flashbacks, we see Carrie, Penny, and Bess navigate their own teenage summer, as they come to terms with their past in the present day.

The eight-episode first season dropped in June 2025, with Prime Video renewing the series for its sophomore season by September 2025. 

‘We loved making this show with so many spectacular humans,” said executive producers and co-showrunners Julie Plec and Carina Adly Mackenzie.

“The fan response was truly special. There are still plenty of secrets buried on Beechwood Island and we can’t wait to keep digging them up,” they added.

Plec and Adly MacKenzie return as writers, executive producers, and co-showrunners for We Were Liars Season 2. 

The executive producers also include Emily Cummins for My So-Called Company, Brett Matthews, Marguerite MacIntyre, and E. Lockhart.

Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Amazon MGM Studios are behind We Were Liars.
