Here's everything we know:
What is We Were Liars Season 1 about?
We Were Liars begins in Summer 17 with an amnesiac Cadence Sinclair trying to recall why she washed up on the beach of her summer house on Beechwood Island, injured and naked, a year ago. The Liars, comprising Gat and her cousins, Johnny and Mirren, were her best friends but haven't spoken to her all year. Desperate to figure out what went down and who is responsible, Cady heads back to Beechwood for answers.
Summer 16 is happy, carefree and perfect, that is till Cady starts noticing all that is wrong with her rich and privileged family, the Sinclairs. Her mom and her aunts' sibling rivalry gets worse as they vie for the biggest slice of the inheritance. Her grandparents pit their children against each other to prove themselves. Gat seems to have gotten hot but also conscious of the Sinclairs' prejudice. And Johnny is hiding something that is more than just a kiss gone wrong.
We have extensive coverage of We Were Liars Season 1 on the site, including recaps for all episodes. You can find those HERE!
Has We Were Liars Been Renewed for Season 2?
At the time of writing, Amazon Prime Video hasn't renewed We Were Liars for a Season 2.
Amazon tends to look at views and the drop-off rates before renewing or cancelling the show, along with the critical success. Some shows are instantly renewed like Reacher or Fallout while others take years such as THEM and Upload.
Popular Amazon Prime Originals do get renewals most of the time but only time will tell if We Were Liars will get a Season 2. But with the novel's prequel, 'Family of Liars' being acquired by Amazon as well, it seems like the studio is interested in renewing the show.
What do we know about We Were Liars Season 2?
Not much is known about We Were Liars Season 2 at the moment, given that it has not been greenlit. There are two ways it can go. If it is a prequel, it will follow 'Family of Liars'. Some of the novel's premise has already been set up in Season 1 with the mention of Rosemary, the dead fourth Sinclair sister, Carrie's addiction and plastic surgery, her friend, Yardley, Bess' apathy at Rosemary's death and Penny's sinister participation in whatever happened when they were 16.
If it is a sequel, there is ample scope for that as well as Season 1 ends with Johnny getting stuck on Beechwood.
If the show does return, you can expect a season with approximately 8 episodes, each lasting around an hour. Nothing is confirmed yet, but we'll be sure to update this page as soon as any new information comes in.

And Just Like That ... The Sex and the City spin-off's surprising take on race
Are any of the writers on And Just Like That (AJLT) reading this? Because I have several helpful suggestions to bring the current series of your Sex and the City reboot into 2025: Charlotte's husband, the hitherto harmless Harry, could start pressuring her into an open marriage, involving whatever passes for wild sex parties on the Upper East Side. Miranda could soon enter her Chappell-Roan-power-ballad era by hooking up with a sexually captivating, but emotionally unavailable, decades-younger woman. And what about a big reveal involving Aidan, who has been draining Carrie's bank accounts all along (because he's secretly a Reddit-radicalised, misogynist crypto bro now). I'd also suggest we see and hear a lot less from the children. The existence of Brady, Brock, Tilly and Twerp should only ever be referenced occasionally and obliquely, for form's sake. Y'know, like how people of colour were treated all the way through the original Sex and the City series? Ironically, racial politics is the one area in which AJLT is doing just fine, even without my help. This is not the consensus view, I'm aware. Many fans entered a state of full-body cringe during the first season, when Miranda wondered aloud if she was having 'a white saviour moment' when fighting off a mugger attacking her Black friend, and are yet to regain full use of their sphincter muscles. But the fact is, AJLT understands the specific whiteness of wealthy white women, in a way that not only vastly improves on the original show's run, but which could also teach other contemporary TV shows a thing or two about 'diversity' and 'representation'. Principally, this show gets things right by allowing its characters to get things wrong. The Mirandas of this world – and I can say this, because I am such a Miranda – often get to ride the righteous train all the way to Smug Town without so much as a ticket inspection. But the truth is, even the well-intentioned – especially the well-intentioned – have blind spots, and most of us could do with some practice at keeping our cool when those are brought to the fore. AJLT leans into the cringe and, as such, acts as a kind of anti-racist exposure therapy for its middle-aged, white, liberal core audience. The secondhand embarrassment it generates is healthy, productive and funny. Because imagine the alternative: this show could have remade its central trio as ever-elegant, socially confident 'sheroes'. Girl bosses who get it. Women who never miss a beat and are always at one with the sensibilities of the age. It could have shielded them from ever looking uncool or out-of-touch, or jaw-droppingly oblivious, in the way that Carrie does in the episode where her new Indian-American friend, Seema (Sarita Choudhury), takes her sari shopping in preparation for the Patel family's Diwali party. Upon entering the shop, Carrie's eyes widen in wonderment. 'OK …' she says, 'These clothes … This holiday … I need to know everything about it!' Thus revealing that she is a fiftysomething woman, who has spent her entire adult life living in one of the most diverse cities in the world and yet – somehow – has never heard of Diwali, a festival celebrated annually by around a billion Indian and South Asian-descended people, worldwide. Get a clue, Carrie. When that episode aired, some commentators (mostly white women) bristled at the depiction of their carefree, curly queen. They said it wasn't plausible. It was doing Carrie dirty. But some of us (women of colour and the other white women) recognised the truth in that characterisation. It's Lana Turner in the classic 1959 film Imitation of Life, expressing surprise when Annie (Juanita Moore), her Black maid of several decades – and, essentially, her closest confidante – refers to a rich social life outside work. Annie's response? 'Miss Lora, you never asked.' Seema takes this in her stride. I suspect she too has met plenty of Carries in her time. The scene only begins to strain credulity when, moments later, Carrie follows up by asking her if she's ever considered an arranged marriage – What? Because she's Indian? – and Seema still betrays no hint of irritation. It wasn't the writing of Carrie's character that was flawed in that moment, but the writing of Seema's. It's because of moments like these that I'm glad the characters of Professor Nya Wallace (Karen Pittman) and Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) have been phased out for season three. Or, as I prefer to understand it, set free to share a chilled bottle of chablis and/or weed vape with other friends who actually get it. I'm glad for their own sakes, because no human being wants to feel like a walking BLM reading list for someone on their solipsistic journey toward belated political consciousness. It was always clear why Miranda would want to be friends with Nya, the stylish, self-assured professor on her policies and principles of humanitarian law course – if only to improve her grades. But what is Nya getting out of the arrangement? After a long day of battling the ingrained racism of Ivy League academia, tending to her needy Gen Z grad students and her own underwritten IVF storyline, why would she want to spend her evenings further exerting herself by explaining micro-aggressions to Miranda 'give me a gold star' Hobbs? How is that relaxing? Nya and Che's departures also leave more room for AJLT's other two characters-of-colour to be fully realised. Lisa Todd Wexley, played by Nicole Ari Parker, is an upper-middle-class Black woman (she would probably prefer 'African American') with a busy career in documentary film-making and her scenes in the edit offer a way for AJLT to make meta-commentary on media depictions of Blackness – worshipful references to Michelle Obama are a leitmotif, for instance. Something similar was previously attempted in season two, when Che decamped to Los Angeles to get their semi-autobiographical sitcom off the ground and the Italian-American actor Tony Danza was cast as their Mexican father. Sadly, by that point, nobody watching cared about Che's tedious travails, so nobody cared about the politics of colour-blind casting either. Lisa isn't just a working mother with an impressive collection of oversized jewellery. She is also a classic example of the bad'n'bougie princess, a trope which allows TV to explore the intersections of race, gender and class, and has a noble lineage stretching back to Lisa Turtle on Saved by the Bell, through Hilary Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Dionne Davenport in Clueless, all the way to reality star Gizelle Bryant on Real Housewives of Potomac. Here, I detect the hand of Susan Fales-Hill, proud descendent of US 'afrostocracy', creator of original bougie princess Whitley Gilbert from A Different World, and a writer on AJLT since season two. Seema's type is more obvious. She is a new Samantha, brought in to replace our dearly beloved Kim Cattrall from the original SATC, a woman with so much charisma she could almost – but not quite – get away with wearing an afro wig to a post-chemo social gathering. Seema has Samantha's confidence and fondness for animal prints, but to that she adds her own top-note of vulnerability. Being a professionally high-flying, never-married, child-free woman in your 50s is fabulous. But, in a world that likes to constantly remind women of how they've failed to please the patriarchy, an occasional wobble of self-doubt is to be expected. It's in this wider context of the third season, with more screen time and better storylines, that Seema's ethnicity can be just one aspect of her character; neither defining, nor denied. Now, when Seema's cultural heritage is referenced, it's usually on her own terms, and in her own words. As she cautions bossy date-finder Sydney Cherkov (Saturday Night Live's Cheri Oteri): 'I'm Indian, we invented matchmaking'. And just like that, through an ever-enjoyable, show-your-workings process of trial-and-error, this show has landed on what it can most usefully add to the pop culture discourse about race. And that isn't shoe-horning in badly written POC characters to offer a hastily bodged version of racial diversity and representation. Rather it's exploring the whiteness of Miranda/Charlotte/Carrie as they move through this changed and changing world, but – crucially – always with a tad more self-awareness than the characters themselves possess. Now, back to more pressing matters: Should Charlotte order specially monogrammed stationery from Tiffany's for those sex party invites? And who's telling Anthony he's been cut from the guest list?

Kourtney Kardashian sizzles in very revealing lace outfit after outraging fans with Father's Day post
Kourtney Kardashian left her Instagram followers agog with a string of sizzling new photos she posted to her page on Thursday. The 46-year-old reality star flashed the flesh in a slinky black dress with sheer lace sections that offered a generous view of her cleavage. When she turned to show off the look from behind, she revealed that one of the see-through portions of the frock even hinted at her derriere. Her ensemble, which was put together by stylist Marc Eram, included orange shades and a gleaming black leather handbag with scarlet lining. Letting her luxurious dark hair tumble freely over her shoulders in silky waves, she emphasized her agelessly luminous complexion with makeup. She was standing in front of a backdrop of a pleasant sunlit meadow, prompting her to write in her caption: 'Always take the scenic route.' Her smoldering new Instagram album comes after Kourtney ignited a fan fury with her gushing Father's Day post about her husband Travis Barker, with whom she shares her one-year-old son Rocky Thirteen. The reality star, 45, shares three of her four children - son Mason, 15; daughter Penelope, 12; and son Reign, 10 - with babydaddy Scott Disick, but she failed to pay tribute to him on the day. She famously ended her on/off nine-year relationship with the 42-year-old Talentless CEO in 2015 shortly after he publicly canoodled with stylist Chloé Bartoli. But Instagram users like @hilarythegoaldigger felt Kourtney's obvious snub was cold, commenting: ' I love how she acts like Scott was never a huge part of her life.' Instagram user @its_suzzieq commented on Kardashian's slideshow with a meme of the preppy 'Lord' Disick looking shocked. 'The fact that Scott wasn't mentioned is messed up,' Instagram user @aliciamarie0627 wrote. 'I'm sorry.' Instagram user @navsoroya agreed: 'What about Scott?' 'Your kids are going to see this and feel some type of way,' Instagram user @kimica12 commented. When she turned to show off the look from behind, she revealed that one of the see-through portions of the frock even hinted at her derriere While Instagram user @truthhurts2498 felt The Kardashians producer-star 'owes no public shoutout to Scott' because 'he never acknowledged her publicly for Mother's Day!' 'Scott isn't her husband,' Instagram user @thejasbrad blasted. 'This post is dedicated to her husband and him as dad. A text is appropriate.' On May 26, an insider told The Daily Mail that the real estate house flipper thought Kourtney 'has changed' and was 'irresponsible' over wanting to homeschool their children rather than enroll them at the family's 'dated' alma mater, Sierra Canyon School. 'Scott values hard work and sees school as essential and would never allow his kids to not attend,' a source claimed. 'If they are always at home around Kourtney they will miss out on substantial knowledge and teachings that Scott feels every kid should experience.' Disick - who dropped out of Ross School in New York - also reportedly feels like Kardashian's house with husband Travis Barker 'can be chaotic' and he 'is especially uneasy with the influence of his 18-year-old daughter Alabama.' Ironically, the Lemme co-founder is one of the few college graduates in her family as she holds a bachelor's degree in theatre arts from the University of Arizona. On Sunday, the five-time rehabbed star Instastoried a revolting video of an old man bragging about his wife having 'no gag reflex' which he captioned: 'Happy Father's Day boys!' Meanwhile, Kourtney Instastoried two snaps of her late father Robert Kardashian - who died, at age 59, in 2003 from esophageal cancer - captioned: 'God blessed us with the absolute best dad' Kardashian then posted a PJ-clad snap of herself with the 48-year-old Grammy-nominated drummer and their 19-month-old son Rocky Thirteen that she captioned: 'Which led me to you @travisbarker.' 'Happy Father's Day to the man who loves with his whole heart — for our baby, for my three, for his three… for our seven,' the Poosh founder - who boasts 283.4M social media followers - captioned her Instagram slideshow. 'This wild, beautiful blended life wouldn't be the same without you.' Kourtney made sure to include snaps of Travis' three older children - son Landon, 21; daughter Alabama, 18; and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 26 - from his three-year marriage to Miss USA 1995 Shanna Moakler, which ended in 2008. The only family member who honored all of the father figures in the Kardashian-Jenner clan - including Scott, Kanye 'Ye' West, and Tristan Thompson - was matriarch Kris Jenner. 'You have shaped, supported, and loved us in so many ways and I'm grateful to have witnessed the love that each of you has for your children,' the 69-year-old grandmother-of-13 gushed. Kourtney made sure to include snaps of Travis' three older children - son Landon, 21; daughter Alabama, 18; and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 26 - from his three-year marriage to Miss USA 1995 Shanna Moakler, which ended in 2008 'To my son, Rob… you were born to be a daddy and I am so proud of the father and the man you are. I love you! I wish all the dads out there a day filled with love.' Kris' youngest daughters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner both failed to mention their father Caitlyn Jenner, who's currently in war-torn Israel. Rather than Father's Day, Khloé Kardashian honored her momager in two Instastories while Kim Kardashian focused on celebrating her daughter North West's 12th birthday on Sunday. Kardashian currently executive produces and stars in her family's reality show The Kardashians, which Hulu renewed for a seventh season last July. The half-Armenian beauty was technically the first member of her family to star in a reality show - The Simple Life-inspired eight-episode series Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive, which aired in 2005 on E!

Fat Joe accused of sex with underage girls by former hypeman in shock suit
Fat Joe has denied allegations made in shocking new lawsuit that implicates the rap veteran of engaging in 'sexual relations with children who were 15 and 16 years old.' Fat Joe's one-time Terrence 'T.A.' Dixon, said in court docs obtained by Daily Mail that the 53-year-old musical artist was involved in a number of sordid arrangements with underage girls. Dixon said in legal docs that he 'personally witnessed' the Grammy-nominated rapper, 54, 'engage in sexual relations with children who were fifteen and sixteen years old.' One of the teens the New York City native was allegedly involved with inappropriately, according to Dixon, was a Dominican female, who he was engaged with in 'oral sex and other sexual acts.' The entertainer, whose full name is Joseph Antonio Cartagena, allegedly carried on the relationship with the teen girl 'in exchange for cash, clothing, and payment of her cell phone bill.' Daily Mail has reached out to Fat Joe, his reps and his lawyer Joe Tacopina for comment on the story. Fat Joe's one-time hypeman Terrence 'T.A.' Dixon, said in court docs obtained by Daily Mail that the 53-year-old musical artist was involved in a number of sordid arrangements with underage girls The What's Luv? vocalist allegedly was also involved with a 15-year-old 'Caucasian girl, not from the US' in the wake of a 'concert overseas.' According to the complaint, The All the Way Up performer had the girl flown to Miami and New York City multiple time, Dixon told the court. Dixon alleged that the Get It Poppin' artist foot the bill for the underage girl to have a Brazilian Butt Lift operation performed, Dixon said in legal docs. Dixon told the court that the underage female referred to in the court docs 'eventually left Defendant and is now married to a professional athlete.' Fat Joe allegedly fell 'in love with' a third female - a Latina female who he met when she was 15, Dixon also claimed in legal docs. Dixon said Fat Joe 'was in love with' the female, and paid her bills and took her on the road. 'He brought her to Florida and would put her up in a condo he rented a few blocks from his house with his wife,' said Dixon, who told the court he had been working with the rap artist for a stretch from 2006 thru 2019. Dixon said Fat Joe engaged in 'coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion' as his boss. He added that he was 'consistently underpaid, denied songwriting credits and deliberately concealed from royalties and backend compensation.' Dixon said he's a 'lyricist, background vocalist, security team member, and creative collaborator.' Dixon also named in the suit Roc Nation, Sneaker Addict Touring LLC, Slate, Inc. LLC, Pete 'Pistol Pete' Torres, Richard 'Rich Player' Jospitre, Erica Juliana Moreira. Joe Tacopina, the lawyer who is representing Fat Joe, denied all of the allegations made against the rapper to Page Six. Tacopina said he's been in touch with the people Dixon alleged were Fat Joe's underage lovers in the suit, and 'they've made it clear that some of them don't even know Fat Joe.' Fat Joe previously entered into litigation last month against his former associate Dixon over allegations he had engaged in underage sex. Fat Joe said that Dixon's efforts amounted to a 'money grab' and that Dixon 'enjoyed the perquisites of touring, luxurious travel, and other fringe benefits of a world-renowned musician's team.' Fat Joe said that in the six years since they had concluded working with another, Dixon had 'never raised any issues or sought any additional compensation.'
