A character poster seems like something so simple, but it is more complex than that. It’s a picture, a tagline, and well, sometimes the character’s name, which ultimately is simple. But a character poster is meant to sell you on a movie or a television show and introduce you to the characters. It’s the first thing to present in front of an audience, and tell you that these actors are these people. Character posters can start a fandom. They can also break a fandom.
Then again, it’s just a part of marketing. We get that. We also with that character posters were animated, or if you’re posting them on social media, they were part of a carousel where the second post would be a video introducing us to the character.
With We Were Liars, the posters were released, and we kinda love them. Simple, complex, and every single character hides something in their eyes. It’s as if there is this pain and emptiness in each character, but also as if they are peering into your soul and asking you, would you lie?
THE POSTERS
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.
The official logline for the series is, “We Were Liars follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman and her tight-knit inner circle, nicknamed the Liars, during their summer escapades on her grandfather’s New England private island. The Sinclairs are American royalty—known for their good looks, old money, and enviable bond—but after a mysterious accident changes Cadence’s life forever, everyone, including her beloved Liars, seems to have something to hide.”
Shubham Maheshwari, Joseph Zada, Esther McGregor, Rahul Kohli, David Morse, Caitlin FitzGerald, Candice King, and Mamie Gummer also star alongside Lind. All 8 episodes of We Were Liars will drop at once on Prime Video on June 18th, 2025.
