We Were Liars might end in tragedy, but fans can have hope that the Sinclair family will get a chance at reconciliation because We Were Liars season 2 is coming to Prime Video. The first season (based on E. Lockhart's book of the same name) follows Cadence, who returns to her family's island with intense memory loss — and no one will tell her why everything is different. I don't want to spoil too much just yet, but feel free to read up on the ending.
Here's everything you need to know about We Were Liars season 2, coming to Prime Video soon.
Did Johnny survive in We Were Liars?
Family of Liars is the next installment in the series, and even though it mainly serves as a prequel, it does continue Carrie and Johnny's connection. So Johnny might not have survived We Were Liars, but his spirit is very much alive.
And Joseph Zada is officially returning for the second season of the show, E. Lockhart exclusively revealed to Brit + Co. "The thing everyone wants to know is, will Johnny be back? And yes, he will," the author said. "We Were Liars season 2 is definitely incorporating the story in my We Were Liars prequel novel Family of Liars, but it will also have all kinds of new surprises that the showrunners have up their sleeves. And there will still be a contemporary story; Cadence, Johnny, and all of those amazing actresses playing Penny, Bess, and Carrie."

The second season of the hit show will pick up where season 1 left off: after Cadence remembers the rebellious house fire she started with Johnny, Gat, and Mirren (in an attempt to literally & metaphorically destroy her family's legacy), and that she's been seeing their ghosts the whole time, it's revealed that Johnny's mom Carrie has been seeing his ghost too.

“We loved making this show with so many spectacular humans,” series creators Julie Plec and Carina Adly Mackenzie told Variety. “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.”
