Prime Video Nears We Were Liars Season 2 Renewal Amid Positive Discussions

Prime Video is actively developing potential second seasons for several shows, including the popular YA mystery drama We Were Liars, though no official renewals have been announced yet. Vernon Sanders, Amazon MGM Studios’ Head of Television, confirmed that writers’ rooms for We Were Liars, Overcompensating, and Motorheads are currently working on scripts, reflecting the streamer’s optimism given strong viewership and fan engagement. We Were Liars, which premiered in June 2025, ended its first season on a cliffhanger and has sparked significant fan interest, with creators Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie expressing enthusiasm about continuing the story and exploring additional source material. Despite the positive indicators such as high completion rates and international popularity, Prime Video is waiting on further data before making renewal decisions. The show’s narrative possibilities include exploring both the aftermath of Cadence’s trauma and prequel storylines, offering multiple directions for a second season. Overall, Prime Video’s strategy focuses on leveraging strong creative voices and building engaged communities around their YA adaptations to sustain their success.
