The first season followed the intricate lives of the affluent Sinclair family and the “Liars”—a tight-knit group of cousins and a close friend—during a fateful summer on their private island in New England, leading up to a mysterious accident that alters the life of protagonist Cadence Sinclair Eastman.
“We loved making this show with so many spectacular humans,” said Julie Plec and Carina Adly Mackenzie. “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.”
