But Lockhart has changed certain aspects of the novel. “The torsion is the same,” she shared. “There is a revelation towards the end, it is a small addition to move it forward and give more energy to these 10 minutes of the show. And I think it works very well. I can’t wait for the fans to see this.”

Lockhart refers to the last moments of the eight episodes season, which reveals that Carrie interacts with the ghost of her son Johnny. During this moment, Carrie [Mamie Gummer] tell Johnny [Joseph Zada] That she supposed that he had left what he replied: “I don’t think I can.”

Although this detail is not in the novel, We were liarsIt sets up a second potential season based on prequel, Liar familywhich focuses on Carrie Sinclair.

In fact, Lockhart included several Easter eggs that connect to prequel. “Adult sisters, Carrie, Penny and Bess are fairly small characters in the We were liars Roman, and they are extremely extensive in the show. Each of them has their own script, “she explained.” Some of this reflects my prequel novel, Liar familyAnd the dynamic sister that is established in this book. »»
