I. Marlene King's mega-hit teen drama, "Pretty Little Liars," opens with a straightforward pilot episode. In the episode's cold open, a young girl goes missing during a sleepover, setting the stage for a one-year time-jump revolving around the other girls who were there when it happened. The missing girl, Alison Dilaurentis (Sasha Pieterse), still hasn't been found, but her friends collectively receive threatening messages from a certain "A," who seems to know a lot about each of their deepest, darkest secrets. With time, we (along with the girls) learn more about that fateful night, along with the central group's complicated dynamics with one another, especially with the mean-spirited Alicent. There's plenty of drama and intrigue to unwrap here, as this is a show that hinges on snappy dialogue and red herrings to create a convoluted mystery with no obvious solutions.

As confusing and thematically iffy as "Pretty Little Liars" can be at times,...

Exclusive: Sara Shepard, the bestselling author behind the popular Pretty Little Liars novels which have spawned several TV series, has signed with Gersh for representation.

In addition to Pretty Little Liars, Shepard also penned The Perfectionists book series, both of which have collectively inspired a franchise spanning four television series—Pretty Little Liars, Ravenswood, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, and Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.

She is the author of over forty novels for both kids and adults, including Reputation, The Elizas and the Penny Draws series, which she writes and illustrates. She also penned The Lying Game, which was adapted into a television series, and The Amateurs, among other works.

In addition to her novels, Shepard created the scripted podcast Cruise Ship, which debuted in 2021.

I recently knew someone who claimed he never lied. It was a large part of his personality, but that, in itself, was a lie. In retrospect, I shouldn't have been that surprised when I found out, and I honestly don't know if I was surprised or just hurt. Everyone lies at some point in their life. I assume it's just part of human nature. We may lie for many reasons, whether it's a lie for self-preservation, a fib to spare someone's feelings, or a massive lie just because we can.

Perhaps that's why so many successful teen drama shows feature storylines where the characters lie and cause trouble. I grew up with some people calling me a liar for simple miscommunications and even a "devil child" for just being a misunderstood kid.

If you watch a lot of Hallmark holiday movies, you'll notice faces that reappear over and over again. Hallmark is nothing if not reliant on safe, predictable storytelling, and this tendency extends to the people they hire to act in their made-for-tv films -- once you've proven that you can provide a stable, likable presence in a lead role, they'll keep on booking you. 

But while Hallmark male stars need to personify whatever romantic fantasy Hallmark is selling -- whether that's sensitive, or caring, or supporting, or rugged, or good at fighting fires -- their actresses have an altogether different responsibility. Since a large portion of the Hallmark viewership is made up of women, these actresses need to be aspirational and, above all else, relatable. We need to be able to see ourselves in them, which isn't as easy a task as it sounds. So when they find a performer who can do it well,...

Warning: This article contains Major Spoilers for Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, episode 8, "Chapter Eighteen: Final Exam"

Pretty Little Liars: Summer School reveals Bloody Rose as Mrs. Langsberry, highlighting a rushed villain reveal trend in the spinoff series. Max's Pretty Little Liars spinoff connects to the original series through Easter eggs while following new characters. To improve, Season 3 of Max's Pretty Little Liars should focus on developing an already-introduced villain instead of introducing new ones.

Pretty Little Liars: Summer School finally reveals the identity of Bloody Rose, pointing to a major flaw within the spinoff series. Over the years, the hit teen drama Pretty Little Liars has spurred four spinoffs with varying degrees of success. The best one is Maxs Pretty Little Liars spinoff, which connects to Pretty Little Liars through Easter eggs while also following new characters. The most recent season, Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, follows the major...

With Max's Pretty Little Liars reboot, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, taking place in the same universe as the original series, fans have enjoyed looking for Easter eggs and references to the original series. With all the Pretty Little Liars spin-offs, including Ravenswood and Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, as well as the connection to Riverdale established in Original Sin, the Pretty Little Liars world has become its own expanded TV universe.

With the second season of the reboot, Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, currently airing, fans have noticed several more references to the original series, from character names and locations to actors reprising their roles.

Netflix has acquired the series “Calabasas” from executive producers Kim Kardashian, Emma Roberts and “Pretty Little Liars” creator I. Marlene King, Variety has confirmed.

Based on the 2021 book “If You Lived Here You’d Be Famous by Now” by Via Bleidner, the upcoming series follows a 16-year-old sheltered Catholic school girl who’s thrown into unfamiliar territory when she transfers to Calabasas High. King is set to write the series adaptation and serve as showrunner.

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. The second season of the new series is titled Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, and last week we learned that it’s set to make its Max premiere on May 9th. With that date just three weeks away, a trailer has arrived online, and you can check it out in the embed above.

"Bloody Rose" is Pretty Little Liar: Summer School's villain and she continues the trend of terrifying villains on the show. Summer School replicates the horror-inspired tones of Original Sin, promising an exciting season. Pll on Max's success in creating superior villains sets it apart from the original series.

Following the success of season 1, Max ordered a second season of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, titled Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, and the first look at the show's new villain indicates that it will continue proving how its antagonists overshadow the villains from the original series. The slasher teen drama mystery television series, created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring, serves as the fourth installment in the Pretty Little Liars franchise, following the original Freeform show, Ravenswood, and Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists.

Haley Lu Richardson has a number of popular works under her belt. The 28-year-old star launched her acting career in the early 2010s, landing one of her first roles in the Disney Channel sitcom "Shake It Up," alongside Zendaya and Bella Thorne. The exposure from "Shake It Up" helped open the doors for Richardson to take on other film and TV projects throughout the mid-2010s, including the films "The Edge of Seventeen" and M. Night Shyamalan's "Split," as well as shows like "Ravenswood" and "Recovery Road." Most notably, Richardson starred as Portia in season two of HBO's acclaimed series "The White Lotus." She also portrayed Hadley Sullivan in the Netflix rom-com "Love at First Sight," which hit the streamer on Sept. 15.

When she isn't working, Richardson keeps her personal life out of the spotlight. The actor has only publicly dated one person: former "Jane the Virgin" star Brett Dier.

Spinoffs are a great way for showrunners to recreate the magic of the original, and they continue to be popular even today. Several offshoots of shows, like House of The Dragon and The Originals, have become widely loved, but they will always be remembered as spinoffs. There are also certain TV shows that originated from another show, but it is easy to forget that they are actually spinoffs.

These range from sitcoms to dramas and have become so beloved and critically acclaimed that the source material has become disassociated with them. Some of them take place in very different environments from the original and have too big of a universe of their own to be connected with the original. However, there is no doubt that these shows have taken the best of both worlds and given audiences something worthwhile to watch.

One of the latest rising stars of young Hollywood, Haley Lu Richardson has graced the silver screen and television with a relatively small but quality body of work. The twenty-eight-year-old Phoenix native kindled her passion for acting while participating in school productions, an extracurricular activity that would then turn into a career. Two years after her move to Hollywood at age 16, Richardson appeared recurrently in ABC Family’s Ravenswood, a supernatural teen drama that follows the residents of a town burdened with a long-standing curse.

Though the series was canceled after only one season, Richardson was promptly able to land a role in another ABC original pilot (which failed to air) as well as appearing opposite Zendaya and Bella Thorne in Disney’s Shake It Up. A series of recurring roles eventually gave way to a supporting role in The Edge of Seventeen as Krista, the eBay friend of Nadine...

Haley Lu Richardson is issuing me with a warning. “I’m looking rough!” cries the actor, as she turns her camera on. What appears on the screen is actually very sweet: a rosy-cheeked 27-year-old covered in stickers. There’s a purple star stuck to the right of her nose, and a green one on her forehead. She’s nestled in the centre of a white fluffy beanbag and surrounded by houseplants – standing, hanging, trailing – in various wicker containers. Her screen name reads “h poopy”.

When I ask about the stars, Richardson is dumbfounded. “You don’t know zit stickers?!” she squeals. “Oh my gosh, they’re honestly the coolest thing since sliced bread. You can also get flowers with little rhinestones, Hello Kitty ones, SpongeBob ones, rainbow ones… it’s just amazing because it makes having acne fun!!!” It’s half past eight in the morning for Richardson, who’s in her apartment in California,...

Based on the novel series by Sara Shepard, Pretty Little Liars gathered a passionate following over its seven-season run. It spawned two spin-offs, Ravenswood and The Perfectionists, but both were cancelled after a single season. Thankfully, the latest Pretty Little Liars spin-off has had better luck. HBO Max announced today that they have renewed Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin for season 2.

The first season of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin takes place twenty years after a series of tragic events almost ripped apart the blue-collar town of Millwood. “A disparate group of teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin committed by their parents two decades ago…as well as their own,” reads the official synopsis. “In the dark, coming-of-age, horror-tinged drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but...

HBO Max is going back to Millwood.

The Warner Bros. Discovery-backed streamer has handed out a second-season renewal to Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, the reboot of the former Freeform hit from co-creators Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring.

The renewal comes a few weeks after Pll: Os wrapped its 10-episode freshman season on HBO Max. The series starring Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney and Zaria, currently has an 88 percent score among critics and a 70 percent rating among viewers on Rotten Tomatoes. (HBO Max, like other streamers, does not release traditional viewership data.)

“We are so proud of the incredible response both critically and from fans that Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin has received,” said HBO Max head of originals Sarah Aubrey. “Viewers have embraced our new generation of Liars, and Roberto and Lindsay’s brilliantly dark, horror-fueled take on this iconic franchise.

It looks like Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin is already preparing for its endgAme.

Two new episodes of the horror-tinged next chapter in the Pretty Little Liars universe dropped Thursday morning.

And, at the end of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 7, a trailer for the final three episodes of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 kicked off.

While the clip teases a dangerous finale for the liars, something else caught the attention of fans everywhere.

"The series finale" was shown in the video, hinting that HBO Max has opted to cancel the series after just one season.

Having watched the final three episodes, TV Fanatic can confirm the show doesn't wrap up in a bow, so it's clear there is a desire from the creatives to continue the show.

Unfortunately, we may not get another season.

Now, this could all be an error on HBO Max's part, and...

Exclusive: Tyler Blackburn, who plays the lead role of Alex Manes in Roswell, New Mexico, has signed with APA for representation.

Blackburn just wrapped filming Roswell, New Mexico, which is currently airing its fourth and final season on the CW. Blackburn, who garnered a massive following on social media, is maybe best known for his role as the dark and mysterious Caleb Rivers in Pretty Little Liars, a performance which earned him two consecutive Teen Choice Awards. His success on the show led to his own spinoff series, Ravenswood.

On the film side, Blackburn can be seen in Discovery’s first scripted film, Capsized opposite Josh Duhamel. He can also be seen in Hello Again, directed by Tom Gustafson with an ensemble cast including Martha Plimpton, Audra McDonald, Cheyenne Jackson, and T.R. Knight. Prior to that, Blackburn starred in the independent film Love Is All You Need, directed by Kim Rocco Shields,...

For a certain generation of TV watchers, the theme song for “Pretty Little Liars” scratches an itch like no other. The original series, which ran for seven seasons on ABC Family before the channel became Freeform, began each episode with the lilting melodies of the Pierces’ “Secret” over pristine images of the main quartet in their funereal finest, making winking eye contact with the camera in order to shush it. The stage thus set, TV’s first iteration of Sara Shepard’s novels was slick, if not exactly subtle.

Now, after two previous tries at spinoffs (“The Perfectionists” and “Ravenswood”) failed to launch, a new attempt at reviving the franchise has arrived in the form of “Original Sin.” Created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring of “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” the drama follows in its predecessor’s footsteps by establishing its tone straight from its evocative opening-credits sequence.

HBO Max is getting ready to try its hand at yet another spinoff of the popular Freeform teenage drama series "Pretty Little Liars," and the first look alone has sent chills down our spines. Could this be the first "Pll" spinoff that goes the distance?

Titled "Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin," the forthcoming reboot will follow a fresh bunch of Liars who scramble their way out of a series of troubles that befall them when an unknown Assailant - notoriously dubbed A - threatens to unearth their well-buried secrets. The original mystery drama, which adapts Sara Shepard's YA book series of the same name, ran on Freeform from 2010 to 2017. It spawned two failed spinoffs - 2013's "Ravenswood" and its 2019 follow-up, "Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists" - both of which were canceled after one season. Since the previous two shows in the Pretty Little Liars universe have direct ties with the parent series,...

A new generation of liars are up to no good in the first trailer for “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” premiering this summer on HBO Max.

A sequel to the popular 2010 ABC Family/Freeform teen drama “Pretty Little Liars” — based on Sara Shepard’s book series of the same name — “Original Sin” follows the chronology of the original show, which ran for seven seasons and 160 episodes, but focuses on a completely new set of teenagers in a new town

Bailee Madison, Malia Pyles, Maia Reficco, Chandler Kinney and Zaria play the five main characters: Imogen, Minnie, Noa, Tabby and Faran, a group of friends tormented by “A” — an anonymous identity assumed by villains in the original series. Whereas the As from the original show harassed the girls with their personal secrets, this A is going after the friend group for the mistakes their mothers committed while they were in high school.

HBO Max will introduce viewers to a new era of Pretty Little Liars with Pretty Little Liars Original Sin.

With the premiere date fast approaching, it's time to take a look at everything there is to know.

The Cast

While Ravenswood and Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists featured some of the original stars, Original Sin will be branching off to tell a very different story.

That means there will be no returning stars.

The main cast includes Chandler Kinney as Tabby Haworthe, a horror movie buff and aspiring filmmaker.

Maia Reficco plays Noa Olivar, a high-school track star who was in juvenile detention.

Bailee Madison is on board as Imogen Adams, a teen mom who is a "true survivor."

A new generation of Pretty Little Liars gets underway next month.

HBO Max announced Wednesday that Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin will touch down Thursday, July 28.

Three new episodes will be available on premiere day, with two new episodes each on August 4 and 11 and the final three episodes debuting August 18.

It's not a bad rollout strategy.

The original series suffered from spoon-feeding the answers over the course of massive seasons.

Dropping more than one episode a week should be enough to keep fans satisfied.

"Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart," reads the official description.

Bailee Madison has been cast in a lead role in HBO Max’s upcoming “Pretty Little Liars” reboot, the streamer announced Tuesday.

The “Good Witch” actress will star as Imogen, who is described as “a true survivor” by HBO Max. “Like all of the Liars, Imogen is a final girl. She will drive the mystery of uncovering ‘A’ as she fights for her life and the lives of her friends.”

She will star opposite Chandler Kinney and Maia Reficco, who were announced as the show’s first two leads earlier this month.

Titled “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” the series is set within the same universe as the Freeform hit but centers on a different set of characters in a new town. The project is the fourth entry in the “Pretty Little Liars” franchise, following the flagship series (which ran for seven seasons) and the short-lived spinoffs “Ravenswood” and “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists.

Maia Reficco will play Noa, a striving, sardonic track star who's working hard to get her life back to normal after a summer spent in juvenile detention.

It's hard to believe Pretty Little Liars is being rebooted, but maybe the move to streaming will give the franchise a bigger scope.

HBO Max has given a direct-to-series order to a “Pretty Little Liars” reboot from “Riverdale” creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the streaming service said Thursday.

Titled “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” the show will be set in a new town and follow a “new generation” of liars, but exist in the same universe as the Freeform series created by I. Marlene King and based on the novel series of the same name written by Sara Shepard. King is not involved in the reboot.

Here’s the official description for “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin”:

Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in the present day, a group of disparate teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago…as well as their own.

The recently announced Pretty Little Liars reboot is bypassing Freeform and going straight (to series) at HBO Max.

The upstart streamer has officially given a green light to the project, titled Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, via a 10-episode order. The pickup comes three years after Pll wrapped its seven-season run on Freeform.

A new generation of “Pretty Little Liars” is officially on its way.

HBO Max has issued a straight-to-series order for “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” a reboot of the original Freeform series. New of the order comes only three weeks after the project was announced as being in development. The show hails from “Riverdale” producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” producer Lindsay Calhoon Bring.

Set in the present day, 20 years after a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart, the new “Pretty Little” liars will center around a group of disparate teen girls who find themselves tormented by an unknown assailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago.

“Original Sin” is described as a “dark, coming-of-rage, horror-tinged drama.”

“Roberto and Lindsay are expanding the ‘Pretty Little Liars’ universe with more murder, mysteries, and scandal, and we can’t wait,...

Sir, it’s the reboots. They’re getting…they’re getting faster.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Riverdale creator and showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is developing a reboot of Freeform’s pulpy high school hit Pretty Little Liars. This comes just only three years after the show wrapped up its seven-season run in 2017.

This new Pretty Little Liars project will center on a new story with new characters. No network has been attached yet but it is believed that HBO Max is the most likely destination. This makes sense given that Pretty Little Liars is a Warner Bros. TV property. There is no additional information regarding a production date at press time but Alloy Entertainment’s Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo will reportedly executive produce the drama alongside Aguirre-Sacasa. It is unknown if original series creator I. Marlene King will return in any capacity.

Pretty Little Liars is indeed a pretty important property for Warner Bros.

Pretty Little Liars is poised to return. 

The beloved Freeform hit, which lasted seven seasons, before signing off in 2017, is getting a reboot, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 

The news comes one year after the second spinoff, Pll: The Perfectionists, got the pink slip from Freeform after a single season. 

The updated iteration is said to feature a new story and characters, which makes sense when you consider that the original series wrapped only a few years ago. 

It's unlikely the new take will arrive at Freeform, with THR saying a likely home is HBO Max, which holds the exclusive rights to the original series. 

Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is leading the new series, and will also write the script. 

Alloy Entertainment's Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo is on board to exec produce the drama alongside Aguirre-Sacasa.

No other details have been revealed, including whether series creator I. Marlene King...

Well, that didn’t take long. Just three years after Pretty Little Liars wrapped its seven-season run on Freeform, the Warner Bros. TV series is being eyed for a reboot. Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is on board to develop a new take on the drama series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This alternate version of Pll will reportedly feature an entirely new story with a fresh crop of characters.

The original show, which had Marlene King at the helm, starred Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell, Troian Bellisario and Sasha Pieterse as a group of Pennsylvania teenagers being hunted — largely...

“Riverdale” creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is working on a reboot of Freeform’s “Pretty Little Liars,” TheWrap has learned.

Aguirre-Sacasa’s take on the teen drama, which was created by I. Marlene King and based on the novel series of the same name written by Sara Shepard, would follow a new story, focused on new characters. He is developing the “Pll” project for Warner Bros. TV — which recently absorbed “Pretty Little Liars’s” original studio, Warner Horizon — where he has an overall deal.

Showrunner of both The CW’s “Riverdale” and Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” Aguirre-Sacasa will executive produce the potential reboot series alongside Alloy Entertainment’s Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo.

No platform is attached to the reboot, which is still in the early stages of development and has not been taken out to the marketplace yet.

Warner Bros. TV declined to comment on the “Pretty Little Liars” project.

A reboot of the Freeform series “Pretty Little Liars” is in the early stages of development at Warner Bros. Television, Variety has confirmed.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who previously developed “Riverdale” for television, is developing the potential reboot under his overall deal with Wbtv. Alloy Entertainment’s Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo will serve as executive producers on the project, as Alloy controls the rights to the series. All other details, including the plot, are being kept under wraps.

At this time, it is unknown if series creator I. Marlene King would be involved in any new iteration of the series. King departed her overall deal at Wbtv last year for a new deal at 20th Television.

The project has not yet been taken out to market, but a natural destination would be HBO Max, which is also owned by Wbtv’s parent company, WarnerMedia. According to sources, the streaming service is...
