Season 1

Inspired by the Sara Shepard (Pretty Little Liars) book series of the same name, The Lying Game follows long-lost twins Emma and Sutton.

Separated under mysterious circumstances, Sutton was adopted by the wealthy Mercer family in Phoenix, while Emma grew up in the foster system. When the twins reunite as teenagers, they keep it a secret.

While Sutton goes in search of the truth, Emma takes over her life and discovers more secrets and lies than she could have imagined.

Yearning for the family she never had, kind-hearted foster kid Emma agrees to step into Sutton's privileged shoes while she searches for their birth parents, setting in motion a web of secrecy and lies.

The Lying Game is produced by Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television and is executive produced by Charles Pratt, Jr., Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo.
