'We Were Liars': First-time actor to fan favourite — how Shubham Maheshwari made Gat unforgettable
The actor went from studying economics in Vancouver to starring in one of the most popular shows of the year Fans of the We Were Liars series on Prime Video are more hopeful about the show's return. While a formal renewal announcement hasn't been made yet, Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, confirmed to Variety that a Season 2 writers room is in the works. But while we keep our fingers crossed that the story, based on E. Lockhart's books, continues, we're all still captivated by the show's breakout star, Shubham Maheshwari, who plays Gat in the series. While the We We Liars cast is filled with veteran actors, including David Morse, Mamie Gummer, Candice King, Rahul Kohli, Caitlin FitzGerald and Emily Alyn Lind, the show was actually Maheshwari's first time ever working on camera. He was so new to the industry that he didn't think he was actually going to book the role, believing that it was a "far-fetched goal." Maheshwari was studying economics at the University of British Columbia, focusing on studying for exams, having a good GPA and applying for business consulting jobs when the possible opportunity to star in We Were Liars came up. And eventually he started thinking about what could happen if he did get the role of Gat on the show. "There was a moment where I stopped applying for jobs, or working as hard on my courses, and my roommates and my friends were concerned, because I didn't tell them that I was auditioning," Maheshwari told Yahoo. "Then I eventually told them about the show and everything, and they just lost their minds completely." 'It was a little bit scary' While Maheshwari is an incredibly impactful actor, he did identify that there was a comfort that came with acting alongside so many experienced costars. "There was a little bit of the imposter syndrome that was kicking in early on, especially when I was flying from Vancouver to Nova Scotia, because I knew the people I was working with, and I knew where I was in terms of experience, and that was a little bit daunting. It was a little bit scary," Maheshwari said. "But I think they're not just incredible at their job, they're also incredible human beings, and that means so much more to me." "I remember having so many conversations with David [Morse], such an amazing person to talk to, and just incredible points of view, I think, about this job and about the world. ... And I think there's one thing to learn ... when you talk to them, but also just being on set and watching them do their thing. I often say that my favourite scenes to film were the ones with the entire family, just because, as the story goes, Gat doesn't really say much, so it's a relatively lighter day, but mainly because I get to kind of sit back and watch these experts do their thing." As we saw in the series, Gat and Lind's character Cadence are particularly close, giving us an emotional love story, and Lind was someone Maheshwari was really able to confide in on set. "[Emily's] been working since she was five years old, and she's experienced about this industry, and she knows the ins and outs of it," he said. "And I think it was amazing that my first role was opposite someone like her." "She was nothing but lovely. She was so understanding of the fact that this is my first thing. She was so supportive. ... Right from the get go she made it very apparent that she is someone that I can count on for any questions, any sort of discussions, conversations, whatever it may be. ... She's always going to be that person who I can talk to whenever I need to talk about anything, about this bizarre job." But while the Gat and Cadence moments are particularly memorable, some of the best scenes in the whole show are between Gat and his uncle Ed (Rahul Kohli), who's the long-term partner of Cadence's aunt, Carrie (Mamie Gummer). And that's because, while Gat and Ed are so important to members of the Sinclair family, they're always at an arms length, they always feel like they're outsiders, and they're able to talk to each other about that in a way they can't communicate with anyone else. "I think what's so cool about the show and how it's different from the book is ... we were able to go a little bit deeper about ... seeing things from Gat's point of view, seeing things from Ed's point of view," Maheshwari said. "And it just makes it more real, I think." "I don't do this often, but sometimes if I see certain messages that I got on Instagram, there were a lot of them ... from people of colour, ... and just anyone, talking about how the show did such an honest and raw and real job in terms of capturing that element of feeling like an outsider, and how people related to it. And I think that's a very fulfilling, satisfying feeling, because that's what we aimed for. That's what we hoped for." And with that comes the brilliant way Maheshwari takes on Gat's most significant trauma, the loss of his dad, and what it's been like to navigate his teens years without his father. "It's not something that he outrightly talks about all the time, but ... you realize this as you get older, the things that you go through as a kid are such an important part of how you see the world," Maheshwari said. "The way I looked at it, personally, in terms of preparation, was Gat lost his dad when he was ... eight years old, and that was the first time that he came on the island, and he met Cadence for the first time. And I think the strongest way in which that element of losing his father at a very young, influential age, played out was ... Cadence and the Beechwood Island suddenly became that anchor that pulls him out of that sadness." 'Nothing makes me more happy than being on set' Now looking forward in his career, with his first on-screen job under his belt, Maheshwari realized that he's at his happiest when he's on set. "Nothing is more satisfying and fulfilling, and nothing makes me more happy than being on set and working," Maheshwari said. "I still wasn't fully convinced, if I want to give 100 per cent into being an actor, and I think through We Were Liars it was just like, nothing else is going to make me as happy as this." "It was a lot of working hours and ... you get so consumed by the process that you're a little bit drawn away from your normal, regular life, and away from family and everything. ... And once it was over it was a nice kind of change, I think, to come back to reality, to come back to real life and be with my friends and my family. ... But I still don't think anything can match being on set. I'm so eager to go to the next one." In terms of roles he'd love to do in the future, Maheshwari is really just open to any and all possibilities, as he continues to develop as an actor "I want to try different things. I want to see what I feel about different kinds of roles and just explore myself as an actor," Maheshwari said. But he's incredibly thankful for all the fans of We Were Liars, particularly with all the praise that he's gotten for his very first series. "We immediately got so much love," Maheshwari highlighted. "We've talked about this often, me and [Joseph Zada] and Emily [Alyn Lind] and Esther [McGregor], ... we felt that responsibility, that this book means something, means a lot to people. It was a defining part of some of their childhoods." "Now that it's out, I think it's been lovely. ... The response has been quite positive and it's a bit of a relief. ... Some of the messages that I see, they're just super kind. ... They may not realize it, but it means a lot. It means a lot to me and it goes a long way. And I'm very, very grateful for the love and support that they've given."

Fox News Discusses Sydney Sweeney Marrying Barron Trump
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Fox News host Jesse Watters made a bold statement about Sydney Sweeney and Barron Trump. During Monday's episode of The Five, Watters playfully said the Euphoria star, 27, and President Donald Trump's son, 19, will "marry." Newsweek reached out to Sweeney and Barron Trump's representatives for comment on Tuesday via email outside regular working hours. Why It Matters Watters' statement comes as Newsweek and other outlets confirmed over the weekend that Sweeney is registered as a Republican in Monroe County, Florida. The White Lotus actress also made headlines recently for her American Eagle jeans ad. The commercial, which is titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," sparked a conversation about eugenics and racism online, with some branding it "Nazi propaganda." Jesse Watters as "Jesse Watters Primetime" debuts on Fox News on July 17, 2023 in New York City. In the inset image, Sydney Sweeney attends the 2024 People's Choice Awards on February 18, 2024 in...

In the inset image, Sydney Sweeney attends the 2024 People's Choice Awards on February 18, 2024 in Santa Monica, California. More;What To Know On The Five, a talk show on Fox News, Watters suggested Sweeney could potentially marry Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump and the only child of first lady Melania Trump. "Every girl wants to look like her, and every guy wants to look at her," he said of Sweeney. "And the Democrats think, 'Wait a second, why don't we call her a Nazi and boycott the company?'" "You know how this ends? She's gonna marry Barron [Trump], and it's going to create the greatest political dynasty in American history," Watters added in a tongue-in-cheek manner, seemingly referring to Sweeney's recent association to right-leaning politics by conservatives. Watters: You know how this ends? Sydney Sweeney is going to marry Barron Trump and it's going to create the greatest political dynasty in American history. — Acyn (@Acyn) August 4, 2025 In the American Eagle ad, Sweeney, clad in a blue double-denim look, said, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye jeans are blue." Discourse about the campaign played out across TikTok, Instagram, Threads and X, with critics arguing that the play on "genes" echoes eugenics ideology, which promoted white genetic superiority and enabled the forced sterilization of marginalized groups. The backlash though, was dismissed by many, with some users viewing the play on words as creative marketing, and others celebrating the ad for what they described as a pushback against "woke." Barron Trump has largely stayed out of the spotlight despite his parents' public lives. He's currently a New York University student and does not have a known social media presence, according to The Palm Beach Post newspaper. What People Are Saying American Eagle responded to the widespread criticism in an Instagram post on Saturday: "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone." Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday: "She's a registered Republican? Oh, now I love her ad!" The president doubled down on his statement in a message posted to Truth Social on Monday: "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney! On the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a stupid, and seriously WOKE advertisement, THAT IS A TOTAL DISASTER! The CEO just resigned in disgrace, and the company is in absolute turmoil. Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that disgraceful ad. Shouldn't they have learned a lesson from Bud Lite, which went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the Company. The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST. Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT. The tide has seriously turned—Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung said on X: "Cancel culture run amok. This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They're tired of this bulls***." Robin Landa, an advertising expert and professor at Michael Graves College at Kean University, previously told Newsweek: "The campaign's pun isn't just tone-deaf—it's historically loaded." Megyn Kelly, host of The Megyn Kelly Show, said on the show: "We're sick and f****** tired of the nonsense, where you are not allowed to ever celebrate someone who is white and blonde and blue-eyed. That we have to walk into a room apologetic for those things, or have for the past five years. In a way, this ad is the final declaration that we're done doing that s***. It doesn't mean we're better, but you know what? We're no worse than any other race or any other hair color or eye color." What Happens Next Sweeney's new film Americana hits theaters on August 15.
