If you build it, they will come.
We all know that line and we respect its origins. We’ve just kind of adapted it to “If Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie are adapting it, we will watch.”
We live by that.
The series, We Were Liars, which is inspired by E. Lockhart’s novel of the same name, comes from Julie Plec, Carina Adly MacKenzie, Universal Television and Amazon MGM Studios. Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie reuniting for a show? Yes, you had our attention with that. Casting Mamie Gummer, Caitlin FitzGerald, and Candice King? We were already hooked (also because we’re read the novel).
There has been an addition to the cast and it’s a great one – David Morse. The actor has starred in such movies as The Green Mile, The Hurt Locker, and World War Z.
He has joined the cast as a series regular in the role of Harris Sinclair. Variety says that Harris Sinclair is described as, “The proud patriarch of the Sinclair family who built his fortune with a respected media empire. He abides by an endless set of life mottos: Be a credit to the family. Never discuss your problems in restaurants. All ailments can be cured by outdoor exercise. He is charming and warm — and always down to play a game of tennis with his daughters or his grandchildren, though he’s never once let them win. His private island off Martha’s Vineyard is his kingdom, and he reigns benevolently… or so it seems.”
We Were Liars is an amnesia thriller that is set on a private island off the coast of Massachusetts. We’re learning about the Sinclair family and the let me tell you, the story is addictive. Getting to know the sisters and what unfolds, had me turning the pages.
The cast will have our backsides permanently planted on the couch ready to watch this show.
The shows first episode is written by Plec and the second by MacKenzie.
We are so excited for this show! This casting is amazing. We can’t wait for more!
