Overview
- We Fell Apart was published Nov. 4 by Delacorte Press as a standalone set near Beechwood Island with explicit links to the Sinclair saga.
- The story follows Matilda’s summer at Hidden Beach, a crumbling seaside estate that leads the teens to cross paths with Beechwood’s aftermath.
- Lockhart serves as an executive producer on We Were Liars and wrote the Season 1 finale.
- Season 2 is in development under Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie, with plans to weave in Family of Liars material alongside new present-day plots and returns for Emily Alyn Lind, Joseph Zada, Caitlin FitzGerald, Candice King, Mamie Gummer and David Morse.
- Lockhart says the novel grew from a visit to a decaying Martha’s Vineyard estate by architect Araldo Cossutta, shaping its beachy gothic tone.
