We Were Liars
Amazon MGM Studios

Prime Video's assortment of original young adult series includes The Summer I Turned Pretty, Motorheads and as of today, the eight-episode thriller We Were Liars. 

Based on E. Lockhart's 2014 book of the same name, Prime Video's version of We Were Liars centers around Cadence Sinclair Eastman, who can't remember something terrible that happened the last summer she spent at her grandfather's New England private island. Emily Alyn Lind stars as Cadence, and Shubham Maheshwari, Esther McGregor and Joseph Zada play other tight-knit "Liars" Gat, Mirren and Johnny. 

Amazon MGM Studios television head Vernon Sanders said in a 2023 statement that the book "is a gripping story centered on family, love, secrets, and lies that is perfect for our Prime Video audience." If you want to see Prime Video's take on the best-selling novel, here's how to stream it.

When to watch We Were Liars on Prime Video

All eight episodes of the show debuted on June 18 on Prime Video and are available to binge now.

You can purchase Prime Video on its own for $9 per month. The ad-supported streaming service also comes with an Amazon Prime membership, which costs $15 per month or $139 per year.

Watching ads is now the default when you stream Prime Video, but you can opt to pay an additional $3 per month to remove them. Live TV and sports events will still include commercials, and the fee is monthly even if you have annual Prime.
