Amazon's "We Were Liars" TV Show Is Basically A "Vampire Diaries" Reunion — Meet The Full Cast!

We Were Liars TV Show

BookTok is constantly giving us new titles to read, but even if you haven't hopped on the It Ends With Us and Fourth Wing bandwagon, one thing's for sure: there's nothing like reading a book with people you've never met IRL. It's like a book club with thousands of your online friends! Slowly but surely, our favorite titles are being turned into movies and TV shows, and following in the footsteps of Emily Henry's Beach Read and Taylor Jenkins Reid's The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, we're FINALLY getting a We Were Liars TV show. Here's everything you need to know about the new series, including the cast members playing the titular Liars.

Is We Were Liars becoming a TV show?

Yes, E. Lockhart's We Were Liars is being turned into a TV show thanks to Julie Plec, Carina Adly MacKenzie, Amazon Studios, and Universal Television. The 2014 novel follows a family who spends every summer together on their private island. Every summer is exactly the same, until a mysterious and tragic accident disrupts the family forever. Now granddaughter Cadence has to work through her amnesia, and all the changes in the people she knows best, to get to the bottom of what happened.

Who are the four Liars in the We Were Liars TV show?

The official Prime Video Instagram confirmed the four leads on May 30. We'll see Gossip Girl's Emily Alyn Lind as the clever eldest granddaughter Cadence, Shubham Maheshwari as the thoughtful and driven Gat, Joseph Zada as reckless Johnny, and Esther McGregor as the hilarious Mirren.

Who else is in the We Were Liars cast?

We Were Liars found its first three leads in Mamie Gummer, Caitlin FitzGerald, and Candice King. The three actresses will play sisters Carrie, Penny, and Bess Sinclair, respectively. No matter how perfect these sisters seem, they can't deny how dependent they are on the rest of the family — a fact that's more obvious than ever following the mysterious accident.

This is a super exciting cast because, since the show features Vampire Diariesstar Candice King and is led by Vampire Diaries co-creator and executive producer Julie Plec, We Were Liars serves as a mini TVD reunion!

Where can I watch We Were Liars?

It's safe to assume we'll see the first episode of We Were Liars in 2025. And since Amazon Studios is producing, it'll be on Prime Video, just like The Summer I Turned Pretty!

Who are the characters in We Were Liars?

The Liars from We Were Liars are made up of four teens. Cadence Sinclair Eastman (who's the narrator of the book) is the oldest grandkid in the family, and when we meet her, she's suffering from amnesia following the accident on the island. Jonathan Sinclair Dennis is the second oldest grandchild, and Carrie's oldest kid, who was born only three weeks after Cadence. Their followed by Mirren Sinclair Sheffield, Bess' oldest daughter. And the final Liar is Gatwick Matthew Patil, who's actually the nephew of Carrie's partner Ed. After Carrie and Ed met, Gatwick (referred to as Gat throughout the book), starts spending the summer with the family every year.

In addition to the Liars (and sisters Carrie, Penny, and Bess), the rest of the family includes grandparents Harris and Tipper, Bess' kids Taft, Bonnie, and Liberty, and Carrie's other son Will.

Is there a sequel to We Were Liars?

Image via Amazon

Yes, after We Were Liars, E. Lockhart published the 2022 prequel Family of Liars. This new story takes place on the family's private island in the '80s, when Penny, Bess, Carrie, and their youngest sister Rosemary were teens. Just like the original book, this prequel has plenty of family secrets, mistakes, and (of course) lies.

It’s been over a year since Olivia Rodrigo spilled her Guts with a new album, and fans have been living it up at her concerts around the country. The pop/rock singer's Guts tour includes everything from creative camera work to bold visuals to Liv flying around the stadium on a moon — and even if you weren't able to score tickets the first time around, you'll be able to watch the tour soon. It's coming to Netflix!

Is the Guts tour streaming?

Netflix announced the Guts tour will start streaming on October 29! Halloweekend plans: made.

Olivia Rodrigo's set for the Guts tour is 90 minutes long. It's the perfect amount of time to really get into the music and have a blast with your friends, but I will admit it was nice to not get home at midnight. Soak up every moment!!

Rodrigo's music videos have the same edgy, Gen Z vibe as the tour. Directed by Petra Collins, the music video for "bad idea right?" follows the thrills and throes of hooking up with an ex.

For fans wondering "Will there be a Guts tour?", Rodrigo enlisted the help of a popular TikTok audio to reply to a comment reading, “When do you think you’ll go on tour?” – although her reply was severely open-ended, and didn’t actually answer the question at all.

“Oh my goodness, I love this question,” the audio rang out, finishing with an incomplete: “Um, I think–” and it cut off. She looked elated in the video, and no wonder. The Guts tour was one of the most fun parts about 2024!

Check back here for the latest news on the Olivia Rodrigo tour!

We're suckers for any show that takes place in a small town (especially when fall rolls around), and our personal favorite show to watch for all the fall vibes is Gilmore Girls. There's so much to love about this series: coffee, wacky small-town traditions, cozy sweaters, more coffee. We're obsessed with all of the characters, and while the show is serious enough to hold our attention, it doesn't really cross into crazy soap opera territory.

While this comfort show has captivated fall lovers around the world, did you know that there's actually a town in Connecticut that inspired creator and writer Amy Sherman-Palladino? Washington, Connecticut is just as cozy and cute as Stars Hollow, and it has a lot of similar locations to what you see in the show. Real-life versions of Luke's Diner, The Dragonfly Inn, and even Doose's Market can all be found in Washington.

Turn on Gilmore Girls (or the Year in the Liferevival) on Netflix to get into the fall spirit, and check out these sites without even leaving your couch (until you decide to book a trip, that is).

Brit + Co's "Gilmore Girls" Guide To Washington, Connecticut

www.instagram.com

New England Lifestyle | Courtney on Instagram: "What do you love most about fall? For me, it is the slowness that comes in early November when the leaves are just past peak and my wedding season is ending for the year. It is a gentle slowness after a fast summer and early fall that cultivates gratitude and appreciation. I love exploring all the small New England towns near our home, picking up and admiring leaves, and enjoying a cup of a seasonal spiced tea on a chilly autumn morning. 🍂 Photo collaboration with @worldsofdiscovery . . . . #yankeemagazine #connecticutcharm #connecticut_igers #newengland_igers #connecticutgram #connecticutlife #connecticutphotographer #connecticutmagazine #visitlitchfieldct #litchfieldcounty #autumninnewengland #theconnecticutcouple #thenewenglandcouple #livelovelytravel #livelovely #theeverygirltravels #wanderlust #cottagecore #simpleliving #slowliving"

Once you get to Washington, there are tons of locations you can visit and activities you can partake in to make you feel like you're in Stars Hollow. It's fairly simple to get to Washington — you can drive right into town if you're taking a car, but there are also two train stations that are around a 20-minute taxi drive from town.

There are actually five villages within Washington — Washington Green, Washington Depot, New Preston, Marbledale, and Woodville — with different aspects of the Gilmore Girls experience. You can go pumpkin and apple picking and explore Hopkins Vineyard's Annual Wine & Cheese Market. If you're into outdoor activities, go for a hike on one of the trails or go for a bike ride. Whatever you choose to do, you won't be disappointed with the scenery — U.S. News named Washington one of the best small towns to see fall foliage!

Where To Stay In Washington, Connecticut

Mayflower Inn, Auberge Resorts on Instagram: "Embrace the autumn glow in New England with one-of-a-kind experiences at our idyllic Connecticut inn located in the rolling Litchfield Hills. Whether taking a hike through Steep Rock Preserve hosted by THE WELL at Mayflower Inn or venturing on a fishing expedition to learn the art of a fly cast, infinite memories await. Call 866.217.0869 or visit us online to learn more. 📸: @jennycipoletti"

We're pretty sure that if you're taking a Gilmore Girls trip to Washington, Connecticut, that you'll want to stay in the Mayflower Inn & Spa. Sherman-Palladino says that her stay in the inn, and in town, inspired the concept of the show and the environment she wanted to create, so this is a surefire way to get in the Gilmore Girls spirit.

AirBnb

If you want something more akin to Lorelai and Rory's home, you can check out some AirBnb's around town like this sunny Colonial homefor a more homey and private experience. This house offers lake access, an indoor fireplace, and a private patio for the whole family.

The Hopkins Inn on Instagram: "A perfect day at the Hopkins!!! Photo by @hopkinsvineyard winemaker @jimbaker1240"

Hopkins Inn is another great option that will let you kick up your feet and relax. It sits right on the north shore of Lake Waramaug, and it has been hosting guests since 1847. During warmer months, you can check out the Hopkins Inn beach but when temps drop during the fall, the grounds are a great place to check out the fall foliage.

What To Do In Washington, Connecticut

www.instagram.com

Along with town sites like the Henry David Thoreau Bridge or Hidden Valley Preserve that look beautiful during the fall, you can also do some shopping for unique accessories at stores like J. Seitz & Co. that Lorelai would love, and colorful stationery at D.K. Schulman Design that would get Rory's stamp of approval.

If you want to really feel like you're in the middle of Stars Hollow, take a walk around the Washington Green Historic District to see the town's colonial architecture, the First Congregational Church Meetinghouse, and the Gunn Historical Museum for a dose of history. Similar to Stars Hollow's town square, the Green is the center for a lot of the events in Washington. You can check out festivals and fairs, or bring a picnic lunch like the characters do in "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" (although you won't have to bid on anyone to win their company).

It wouldn't be a Gilmore Girls trip without a visit to the local bookstore, and the Hickory Stick Bookshop is one of the best places in Washington, Connecticut, to check out both books and stationery. The store has been around for 60 years, and it even has a “Rory Reads Book List.”

Gilmore Girls combines a local diner and hardware store into Luke's (since he turned his father's hardware store into the diner), but in Washington, you can visit both! Check out the Washington Supply Company before eating at Marty’s Café or The Po Café (more on those later), and get your family together for a mini town hall meeting at the Bryan Memorial Town Hall.

For a glimpse at a real-life Doose's Market, visit Washington Food Market, which is the only full-service grocery store in town. It's been in the same location for more than 100 years and is a family-run business, which we love. Keep your eyes peeled for Dean stocking the shelves while you get some Gilmore-approved food.

The Smithy & 9 Main on Instagram: "Sunny Saturday at The Smithy☀️ #smithy #sunshine #sunnyday #shoplocal #localfood #smallbusiness #market #newprestonct #washingtonct #litchfieldcountyct"

We're pretty sure that the most important thing you could consume on a Gilmore Girls weekend is coffee. Good thing there are multiple options! Grab a cup of your favorite caffeinated beverage at The Smithy, Marty’s Café, or The Po Café (or grab a cup from all three). If you decide not to order breakfast, stop into The Pantry for a pastry.

Just like Lorelai and Rory often stop into Luke's, get your fill of burgers, desserts, and pastries from restaurants like the G.W. Tavern, which will hold you over until you can make some Gilmore Girls recipes of your own.

We were thrilled when Stranger Things breakout star Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi (yes, the son of singer and musician Jon Bon Jovi) announced their engagement last year. The couple announced their exciting news on Instagram, each posting photos of their smiles, and the stunning ring front and center. And on now they've officially had a wedding ceremony! Keep reading to see everything we know about their gorgeous wedding day.

How is Millie Bobby Brown adjusting to married life?

Getty Images For Netflix

The actress has kept quiet about married life, but she recently shared a carousel on Instagram that hints she's doing amazing. She took fans BTS of life on the set of Stranger Things 5 and snapped a photo that appears to be on a blackboard. I don't know if she wrote "Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi" in black marker or not, but it's clear she's proud to take on her husband's last name.

It seems like other fans couldn't get over seeing that pic because the comments about it are full of excitement. Fans think her name is "so powerful" and "sweet" which coincides with how everyone feels about her return as Eleven in Stranger Things.

Did Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have a second wedding?

www.instagram.com

While the couple was legally and officially married, they celebrated with their closest friends and family with an intimate (and gorgeous, I might add) ceremony in the Tuscan hills of Italy. Millie donned 3 different looks for the occasion, while looking absolutely remarkable! Her main dress, a corseted flowing dream was made by none other than Oscar de la Renta. Afterwards, she wore a tiered sheer dress, the quickly changed into a fun, mini dress for the after party!

The two looked as in love as ever at their lavish ceremony, while none other than "Papa" Matthew Modine, Millie's Stranger Things co-star, officiated the ceremony! The pictures, posted by the couple, showed the stunning countryside of Italy that looked straight out of a movie! Jake posted the photos with the caption, "forever and always, your husband." Could they BE any cuter?!

We're so happy for this gorgeous couple on their big day!

Did Millie Bobby Brown get married?

Image via Millie Bobby Brown/Instagram

Yes, Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are married! Jon Bon Jovi confirmed that the two had tied the knot on an episode of BBC's The One Show. "They're great," says Jon. "They're absolutely fantastic. It was a very small family wedding, and the bride looked gorgeous, and Jake is happy as can be. It's true."

And thanks to The Sun, we know that Jon's wife Dorothea Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown's parents were also reportedly in attendance. While Millie has joked that her Stranger Things costar Matthew Modine (who plays Papa on the show) would officiate the ceremony, there's no word on whether any of her friends were at the wedding.

But The Sun also reports that the couple is having a larger ceremony later this year — now THAT'S a party I want to see! "Millie and Jake quietly said their vows in America last weekend," a source says. “They are planning a bigger ceremony in the US later this year but now they have legally married and done all the paperwork. It was a very low-key, romantic affair with their closest family with them as they said their vows.”

How did Millie Bobby Brown get engaged?

Image via Todd Owyoung/NBC

During an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Millie Bobby Brown finally spilled the details Jake Bongiovi's proposal, and TBH I totally did not see it coming. "Basically, Jake and I bonded over diving," she says. "He was like, 'Mill, you've got to be up at 8 AM, we're going on a dive'...So we go under and we're many meters down, and he gives me a shell and I turn it over and it's a ring."

"He puts the ring on my hand, and as I go to show him, the ring falls off my finger," she continues. "Jake threw himself into the [water] so deep...He does a cinematic grab, opens [his hand], and he saved the ring." This is one proposal story I could hear over and over again!

When did Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi start dating?

Image via Millie Bobby Brown/Instagram

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have dated since late 2021, but romance rumors swirled once the couple started posting pictures of each other in June 2021. The engagement sparked many reactions from fans, considering their shorter dating-to-engagement timeline and the couple’s ages at the time, Brown (19) and Bongiovi (20).

"Endlessly in love with the year I've had!" Millie says in a 2023 New Years Day Instagram post. "Grateful for my friends, family, donkey (bernard), my doggies, my puppies teeth, and my partner for life. here's to another year with you and the wonderful people and animals around us 🤍 let's do it again but better!"

What did Millie Bobby Brown wear to her engagement party?

Image via Buster Knight/Instagram

Brown wore a Giambattista Valli lace set that we're absolutely obsessed with, and used her own florence by mills line for her makeup!

One user commented on Popsugar's announcement, "Anyone else think he looks like Flynn Rider from Tangled?" and now we're totally getting Flynn and Rapunzel vibes.

What have Millie's friends said about the engagement?

Image via Millie Bobby Brown/Instagram

The actress’ friends were quick to congratulate the duo on Instagram. TV personality Jess Wright wrote in the comments section, “Ommmmggggg congratulations!!!!!!!!! @milliebobbybrown this is amazing. So so happy for you darling 🎊✨🤍.” Holly Ramsay, daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, shared her well wishes and wrote, “!!!! Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️❤️.” Sister Tilly Ramsay also chimed in, adding “Congratulations ❤️!! Xx.”

Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown are all smiles in their engagement photos, and I am love seeing how happy they are! "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all," Millie says in her Instagram post. Considering this is a nod to Taylor Swift's Lover, it makes us love Millie even more!

Standing on a beach, Jake wears a white button down while Millie wears a classic slicked back bun, lacy top, and glazed donut nails. If you ask me, these are the PERFECT summer outfits and I want to replicate them ASAP!

What did Millie Bobby Brown do on her birthday?

Image via Millie Bobby Brown/Instagram

Millie Bobby Brown celebrated her 20th birthday on February 19, 2024 at Cathédrale Restaurant in New York, and was surrounded by her closest loved ones for the occasion. She was seen smiling happily next to Jake Bongiovi and we pinched ourselves because they're so adorable together!

Aside from that, Millie Bobby Brown wore the cutest satin mini dress that looks fit for a bride. Could this be a nod to her wedding dress?

We hope Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi share photos from their big day! (Should they choose to, of course). Congrats to the happy couple! 💗

The cozy, bright world of Stars Hollow could not be farther from the dark grittiness of Gotham, which is why I was shook to my core when I found out a beloved Gilmore Girls cast member was a part of The Penguin on Max. The show follows the titular Batman villain, played by Colin Farrell, and his rise to power in the city's criminal underworld. And in episode 2, Luca Falcone shows up to become the leader of the family — and if Luca looks familiar to you, it's because he's played by Scott Cohen AKA Max Medina!

Who is Luca Falcone?

Macall Polay/HBO

The Penguin Cast

Luca Falcone, played by Scott Cohen, becomes the head of the Falcone crime family after his brother Carmine Falcone is assassinated. And then he winds up executing Castillo after C is accused of being a mole. This is a far cry from the Max we know and love in Gilmore Girls — he is so kind, funny, and charming that part of me wishes he were Lorelai's endgame...

The rest of The Penguin cast includes Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, Rhenzy Feliz as Victor Aguilar, Michael Kelly as Johnny Viti, Shohreh Aghdashloo as Nadia Maroni, Deirdre O’Connell as Francis Cobb, Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni, James Madio as Milos Grapa, Michael Zegen as Alberto Falcone, Carmen Ejogo as Eve Karlo, Theo Rossi as Dr. Julian Rush.

Where can I watch The Penguin TV show?

  6. "Gold Summit" on October 27
  7. "Top Hat" on November 3
  8. "Great or Little Thing" on November 10

Is The Penguin a prequel to Batman?

Macall Polay/HBO
