PRIME VIDEO's WE WERE LIARS
- Riley Voelkel, Madeleine Arthur, Jaelynn Thora Brooks, Layla Douglas, Callan Potter, Aidan Shaw, Shaun Sipos and Brendon Tremblay have landed recurring roles on the drama's upcoming second season. Voelkel previously starred for three seasons in The CW's The Originals and three seasons in Starz's Hightown. Arthur starred in the Netflix limited series Devil in Ohio and in Netflix's one-season comedy Blockbuster. Brooks starred in the Canadian comedy Davey & Jonesie's Locker. Douglas guest starred on NBC's Brilliant Minds. Potter recurred on CBC's Workin' Moms and HBO Max's Heated Rivalry. Shaw recurred on Netflix's Locke & Key and Finding Her Edge. Sipos starred for two seasons in Syfy's Krypton, two seasons in Prime Video's Outer Range and in the second season of Prime Video's Reacher. Tremblay starred for two seasons in the Canadian drama Gang de Hockey.
- Voelkel will play Adult Yardley, seen in the present day. After years of exile, the elegant, magnetic Sinclair cousin has returned to Beechwood - and this time, she's here to raise hell.
- Arthur will play Young Yardley, the Sinclair sisters' magnetic, worldly, and elegant-beyond-her-years cousin. She has always brought the magic to Beechwood Island - but this year, she brought years.
- Brooks will play Erin Riegert, a school friend who was invited to visit the Sinclairs for the summer. She is deeply empathetic and highly perceptive - two qualities that don't necessarily serve her well on Beechwood Island.
- Douglas will play Rosemary, the youngest Sinclair. She is curious, whimsical, and sassy. She spends her summers playing mermaids with her sisters - but this year, she's experiencing her first deep pangs of loneliness as the older girls turn their attention away from her and toward the crop of boys visiting the island.
- Potter will play Gideon, the most sought-after tennis coach on the island. He is a former Ivy League golden boy who fits right in with the Martha's Vineyard elite. The married women swoon, their husbands invite him to their poker tables, and no one suspects his more sinister intentions.
- Shaw will play George Bryce-Amory, who hails from a well-heeled Texas oil family. He is big-hearted, loyal as a golden retriever, and completely devoted to Yardley. What he lacks in New England yacht club polish, he offers in testosterone, entitlement, and the ability to shotgun a beer.
- Sipos will play Dean, Harris' (Josh Dallas) older brother, the life of the party, confident bordering on cocky. He is not only heir to generational wealth, but an influential Democrat with an eye on a Senate seat - though he struggles to keep his skeletons from tumbling out of their closets.
- Tremblay will play Jeremy "Major" Majorino, a New Yorker with open-minded "hippie parents." He is observant, jovial, and finds the Sinclairs' world fascinating. He's thrilled to be along for the ride on his buddy's impromptu summer vacation - for more reasons than one.
CBS' GHOSTS
- Ben Feldman has been promoted to series regular on the comedy's upcoming sixth season. He joined the comedy as a guest star in Season 4 and has appeared in five episodes so far.

- He plays Kyle. Like Sam (Rose McIver), he has the power to see the ghosts and is often tasked with being the "ghost babysitter" when she is away from Woodstone Mansion. The fifth season finale saw Kyle join Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) and Pete (Richie Moriarty) on an unexpected trip to London.
