As summer heats up, OTT is ready to serve your next binge-worthy obsession with ‘We Were Liars’, a psychological mystery wrapped in sun-drenched beaches and buried secrets. The highly anticipated adaptation of E. Lockhart’s bestselling novel is finally surfacing, and its official trailer offers a taste of everything viewers can expect — golden coastlines, glamorous wealth, and a haunting tragedy that refuses to stay buried.
Leading the cast is Emily Alyn Lind (‘Doctor Sleep’), who plays Cadence Sinclair Eastman — the central figure in a seemingly perfect group of privileged teens who spend their summers on the Sinclair family's exclusive private island in New England. On the surface, their world is all about friendship, family, and carefree romance. But as the trailer quickly makes clear, not everything is what it seems. Cadence, once part of a tight-knit crew, is now on a desperate quest to recover the truth behind a traumatic incident that left her physically and emotionally shattered.
A Dreamy Summer Turns Into a Nightmare
The trailer of ‘We Were Liars’ opens with serene scenes of sandy beaches and laughter among friends, as Cadence recounts her connection to the group known as "the Liars." Everything appears idyllic — until the tone suddenly shifts. Cadence is shown unconscious on the shore, her voice revealing that something devastating happened the previous summer. Unaware of what happened, she starts to piece together the pieces of that lost night.

As suspicion swirls, the once-innocent atmosphere gives way to mistrust. Each character harbours a secret, and the trailer teases a tense unravelling of hidden motives, jealousy, and betrayal. What began as an elite summer tradition quickly spiralled into a haunting mystery with life-or-death consequences.
