When I previously wrote my review of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, I mentioned that I was optimistic for the series to be renewed for another season, but questioned how the showrunners would be able to introduce a fresh batch of conflicts for our Millwood liars to tackle. After all, “A” had been apprehended! The main characters seemed to have found closure, and the future seemed bright and unobstructed for each of them.
And then came the summer. Summer School, that is.
As expected in any iteration of Pretty Little Liars, a new A has emerged to torment our five final girls who are stuck in Millwood attending summer school; this time in the form of Bloody Rose–a crimson soaked, knife brandishing antagonist that I would argue is much scarier than our season 1 stalker, Archie Waters.

The television franchise that began with Pretty Little Liars on Freeform (starting back when the channel was known as ABC Family) and continued with two short-lived spin-offs on Freeform – Ravenswood and Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists – moved over to the Max streaming service in 2022 with a new series called Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, which leaned further into horror territory.

What’s worse than a serial killer stalking you?
Summer school. At least, that’s what the liars believe in the official trailer for Pretty Little Liars: Summer School.
At the beginning of the freshly released footage, the liars—Bailee Madison (Imogen), Chandler Kinney (Tabby), Zaria (Faran), Malia Pyles (Mouse), Maia Reficco (Noa), and Mallory Bechtel (Kelly) — learn that running away from a serial killer hindered their grades.

Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor will make their Broadway debuts in a new production of Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet this fall.
The production will feature music by Grammy Award winner Jack Antonoff, who is also making his Broadway debut, movement by Sonya Tayeh (Moulin Rouge! The Musical) and direction by Sam Gold. Exact dates and a theater have yet to be announced, but tickets are set to go on sale in May.
While few details have been released about this version of the Shakespeare classic, the production is using the tagline “The Youth Are Fucked” and promises an angrier take on the tale.
“With the presidential election coming up in November, I felt like making a show this fall that celebrates youth and hope, and unleashes the anger young people feel about the world they are inheriting,” said Gold, who is helming this season’s An Enemy of the People.

Kit Connor is best known for playing Nick in the LGBTQ+ Netflix rom-com series "Heartstopper," which follows teens as they navigate their way through school, their feelings, and their sexualities. While the series itself spotlights LGBTQ+ characters in a beautifully authentic way - giving many of them ample space to come out in their own time - the compassionate messaging behind the show appeared to have been lost on many when Connor was seemingly bullied into announcing his bisexuality.
In a tweet shared late on Oct. 31, 2022, the "Rocketman" star announced that he is bisexual, but he added that he felt forced to come out after being harassed by fans. "back for a minute. i'm bi," the actor wrote. "congrats for forcing an 18 year old to out himself. i think some of you missed the point of the show. bye."

Heartstopper star Kit Connor says he doesn’t want to be defined by the term “queer actor”, after his breakthrough role as bisexual school rugby star Nick Nelson in the Netflix mega-hit.
Connor, along with co-star Joe Locke, has become a star with the arrival of Heartstopper, which premiered on the platform in April 2022 and soon became its fifth most watched English language show, watched for a reported 53million hours worldwide.
But he received accusations of “queerbaiting” (appropriation by straight people of gay culture for kudos) after he was photographed hand in hand with actress Maia Reficco in November last year.
At the time, Connor broke his own retreat from social media to come out to his many followers – a decision he told the Guardian newspaper he now considers “frankly a bit rash” – when he posted:

Production on Pretty Little Liars: Summer School is officially underway, and there will be a major throwback to the original series.
HBO Max confirmed Friday that Annabeth Gish would be returning as Dr. Sullivan for the second chapter of the reboot series.
If you watch Pretty Little Liars online, you know fans had theories about the doctor on multiple occasions throughout the original Freeform series.
Thankfully, Dr. Sullivan was just doing her job and attempted to help the liars process their trauma.
Given that Gish is playing the same character here, it should be more of the same.
On Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1, we were introduced to six new liars who were caught up in a deadly game with A.
Bailee Madison played Imogen Adams, Chandler Kinney as Tabby Haworthe, Zaria as Faran Bryant, Malia Pyles as Minnie "Mouse" Honrada, Maia Reficco as Noa Olivar, and Mallory Bechtel as Kelly Beasley.

A familiar face is returning for Season 2 of Max’s Pretty Little Liars reboot. Original Pll cast member Annabeth Gish will reprise her role as Dr. Sullivan in Pretty Little Liars: Summer School.
Gish recurred as the character in the original Pretty Little Liars series, which aired for six seasons on Freeform.
Created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring, the new series debuted five years after the original Pretty Little Liars series ended, focusing on new characters in the new fictional town of Millwood, Pa and with multiple references to iconic horror movies (think Carrie and the original Halloween).

Heartstopper is a heartwarming show about young people learning to love themselves, but some of the discourse around the Netflix hit is much less endearing. After Kit Connor’s sexuality became a topic of intense speculation in the more toxic corners of the internet, the actor who plays Nick Nelson on Heartstopper was bullied into coming out on social media. It was the umpteenth example of an online mob gone awry, but Connor has received support from many, including his Oscar-winning co-star Olivia Colman.

Olivia Colman is letting her onscreen son know just how proud she is of him. On Dec. 1, the Oscar winner told Variety just how much she admired her "Heartstopper" costar Kit Connor after he was bullied into coming out as bisexual on social media.
"I am so proud of him, but I am not proud of how people bullied him," Colman said. "I think people should be allowed to have their own journey. But I'm incredibly proud of him as a young man to deal with all of that and be in the spotlight. It's unfair, but he's amazing. He's a very beautiful human being."
Connor is best known for playing Nick on the LGBTQ+ Netflix rom-com "Heartstopper," which follows teens as they navigate their way through school, their feelings, and their sexualities. While the series itself spotlights LGBTQ+ characters in a beautifully authentic way - giving many of them...

The Netflix coming-of-age series Heartstopper premiered this spring to significant acclaim for being a well-made and heartfelt depiction of LGBT youth.
However, one of its stars has been the subject of unreasonable criticism by fans and responded by coming out as bisexual, then telling toxic fans they were “forcing an 18-year-old to out himself. I think some of you missed the point of the show.”
Kit Connor played the bisexual character Nick Nelson, a rugby star who develops a relationship with his classmate Charlie Spring, played by Joe Locke.
Connor’s character is closeted at the outset of the series while Locke’s character is out as gay, and the show’s first season shows Nick having several crushes on boys and girls.
Connor had been receiving undue attention from fans of the show when photos of him holding hands with Maia Reficco surfaced.

Heartstopper’s Joe Locke responds after Kit Connor ‘forced’ to come out: ‘You owe nothing to anyone’
Joe Locke has supported his Heartstopper co-star Kit Connor after the 18-year-old was “forced” to come out as bisexual.
Locke stars in Netflix’s secondary school teen drama as Charlie, a gay student, while Connor plays rugby player Nick, who later learns he is bisexual.
The show had been celebrated for casting queer actors in its roles, but Connor had made it clear on social media and in interviews he wasn’t comfortable talking about his own sexuality.
However, days after fans had suggested he was “queerbaiting” after photos emerged of him holding hands with his A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow co-star Maia Reficco, Connor tweeted on Tuesday (1 November) that he was bisexual.
“Back for a minute. I’m bi,” he wrote. “Congrats for forcing an 18-year-old to out himself. I think some of you missed the point of the show. Bye.”

“Do Revenge” brought colorful chaos to Netflix screens last weekend in more ways than one. Eleanor Levetan (Maya Hawke) and Drea Torres (Camila Mendes) team up to do each other’s revenge, switching targets so that Drea goes for Eleanor’s bully while Eleanor goes for Drea’s ex-boyfriend Max Broussard (Austin Abrams). The film, directed by Jennifer Kaitlyn Robinson, also stars a host of young Hollywood personas including Talia Ryder, Rish Shah, Alisha Boe, Jonathan Daviss, Ava Capri, Paris Berelc, Maia Reficco, Sophie Turner and Sarah Michelle Gellar.
High school is the setting for the riff on Alfred Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train” (1951) — Rosehill Country Day in particular — with Sarah Michelle Gellar (“Buffy” herself) as headmaster, and in keeping with the teen vibe the “Do Revenge” soundtrack is full of pitch perfect songs.

‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson ‘Would Love’ to Direct a Marvel or DC Movie
[Editor’s note: The following article contains spoilers for “Do Revenge,” now streaming on Netflix.]
Since her film debut in 2019 with “Someone Great,” Jennifer Kaytin Robinson has been determined to tell stories about “complicated, messy” women — including in the MCU.
Robinson, whose latest film “Do Revenge” is now streaming on Netflix, co-wrote “Thor: Love and Thunder” with director Taika Waititi, all while writing and helming the ’90s-inspired indie feature starring Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes as Eleanor and Drea, two “fucked up TaskRabbits” out to avenge one another’s high school horrors. The ensemble cast including Austin Abrams, Sophie Turner, Ava Capri, Maia Reficco, Paris Berelc, Talia Ryder, Jonathan Daviss, Rish Shah, and Alisha Boe, even dubbed themselves the “Revengers” with a special nod to Marvel’s “Avengers.”
While Robinson especially focused on penning the Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) storyline for “Love and Thunder,” the “Hawkeye” consulting producer hasn’t written off directing her own standalone Marvel film someday.

Austin Abrams’ character Max Broussard in “Do Revenge” could not be more different from his role in “Euphoria” as Ethan Lewis. And for a little bit, Abrams went back and forth between shooting the new Netflix movie (now streaming) and Season 2 of Sam Levinson’s HBO drama.
“It was really fun to go from a very nice, gentle, thoughtful guy to [an] egomaniac,” he said in an interview with TheWrap about his “Do Revenge” character. “That is just really flashy, really craving attention.”

Maya Hawke, Camila Mendes, a Bougie with a capital B high school and two thirsts for vengeance complete the recipe for Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s latest film, “Do Revenge.”
Based broadly on Alfred Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train” (1951), “Do Revenge” sets a similar switched “getting back at” story in a younger scenario: the elite Rosehill Country Day high school full of entitled and wealthy students. If the story or cast doesn’t sound appealing, maybe the soundtrack will.
Fans of the work of Hitchcock and of Mendes in “Riverdale” or Hawke in “Stranger Things” as well as Austin Abrams’ work in “Euphoria” may be wondering how to watch “Do Revenge.” We’ve rounded up all the details below.
