It’s been announced that Pretty Little Liars has been cancelled after two seasons on Max. The show was the fourth TV series in the Pretty Little Liars franchise, all based on or inspired by Sara Shepard’s novel series.
“While Max will not be moving forward with a third season of ‘Pretty Little Liars,’ we are so grateful to our co-creators, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring, as well as the team at Warner Bros. Television, for reintroducing fans to this new iteration of liars who band together to fight the latest creepy villain terrifying Millwood,” Max said in a statement. “Their unique and modern creative vision – combined with the immense talent of our cast and crew – gave the series a fun, horror-filled point of view that paid tribute to its original Rosewood roots.“
The first season of Pretty Little Liars went under the subtitle Original Sin, while the second was subtitled Summer School.

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.

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.

Actors and the roles they play don’t always have much in common, but one Pretty Little Liars star shares a trait with her character. Troian Bellisario, who played the academically minded Spencer Hastings in the teen drama, was a lot like her character when she was at school.

These days, Pretty Little Liars is a media franchise, consisting of several spinoffs and a reboot. However, long before there was an empire of shows and productions under the Pll umbrella, there was the original TV series. The one that started it all ran from 2010 through 2017, earning millions of fans who tuned in on a regular basis to keep up with the latest twists and turns.
The series finale of Pretty Little Liars, when it aired in June 2017, made waves around the world, with many fans discussing the revelations the episode contained for weeks and months afterward. Interestingly enough, series star Troian Bellisario admitted that the show originally had some unexpected twists in the ending, leaving one main character’s fate up to speculation.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Pretty Little Liars will return to stalk a new group of teenagers with its upcoming reboot.
HBO Max has added Chandler Kinney and Maia Reficco to the cast of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.
Kinney will play Tabby, an aspiring director and horror movie buff.
Like the other Little Liars, Tabby’s hiding a secret.
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”:

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.

“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.

I. Marlene King has signed a new multi-year deal at 20th Century Fox Television, exiting her longtime studio home of Warner Bros. Television.
King will develop, write, produce, and direct new projects for network, cable, and streaming under the new deal via her Long Lake Media banner. Long Lake’s executive vice president of development Lauren Wagner will continue in that role with the company as part of the deal.
King recently launched the spinoff series “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists” on Freeform, which she created and will continue to executive produce. King previously developed the series adaptation of “Pretty Little Liars,” which proved to be a major hit on Freeform and ran for seven seasons and nearly 200 episodes.

Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists Producer Revealed Why It’s A Better Spin Off Than Ravenswood
Hey, "Pretty Little Liars" fans. We've got some new, very interesting details for the new spin off series "The Perfectionists." The show's producer Marlene King recently revealed just exactly why The Perfectionists is going to a be a way better Pretty Little Liars spin off than Ravenswood was back in 2014. I don't know how many of you guys caught the Ravenswood spin off back in 2014. It came and went pretty quickly because it totally flopped. It featured character Hanna Marin's boyfriend Caleb Rivers and a host of other characters. The show featured secrets and ghosts. It got sent to cancelville after just one season by the then network ABC Family. It was reported that a lot of fans started complaining, "Wtf, why am I watching a show about ghosts?" In her interview with the folks over at Cosmopolitan.com, Marlene revealed that The Perfectionists spin off will be way more...

How is it March already? With the Oscars fully in the rearview mirror, now is the chance for TV to take back its share of cultural attention. With Emmy season right on the horizon, that means plenty of new series vying for a spot among the most talked-about titles in the TV universe. That means plenty of offerings on the upcoming calendar across streaming, broadcast, and cable. There are shows about mysterious deaths, shows about the coming end of the world, and shows that feature Tim Tebow possibly giving someone a million dollars.

Girl Talk is a weekly look at women in film — past, present, and future.
Haley Lu Richardson says she isn’t a workaholic, but the last few weeks at the multiplex tell a different story. “Somehow the two movies that I’ve done recently are just coming out the same month,” she told IndieWire in a recent interview. “I would rather do quality over quantity. I would rather do one, maybe two things a year and be really, really passionate about them. … Now they’re [both] coming out, and then for a year I’m going to be like, ‘Oh, I guess I’ve done nothing in my life recently.'”
The two films couldn’t be more different: one is the Nazi drama “Operation Finale,” in which the bubbly actress stars as a young Jewish girl who helps bring SS officer Adolf Eichmann to justice, and the amiable comedy “Support the Girls,...

Not all spinoffs are created equal. Just ask Joey Tribbiani.
When the New Yorker made his way to Hollywood with his own Friends offshoot, little did he know that 14 years later he would land on TVLine’s list of the worst TV spinoffs. But for every Joey, there’s an Angel, a continuation that makes its mothership series so proud, it lands in the “Best” column.
Here, Team TVLine has gathered our picks for the cream of the spinoff crop… and the failures we wish we could unsee. Our selections include recent shows like The Originals — which will give birth to its own spinoff,...

Is a pretty little spinoff in the works?!
There's just three episodes left of Pretty Little Liars, and although we're thrilled to finally have seven seasons worth of A.D. answers, we're sad to say goodbye to our favorite Rosewood residents. Luckily, executive producer (and keeper of all the secrets!) Marlene King dished to Et that a Pll spinoff is "definitely a possibility."
"It's not a for sure thing, but there's some ideas swirling around out there," she exclusively confessed to our cameras over the weekend at the Atx Television Festival in Austin, Texas. "Everybody knows I love this world. I love to play in this world and I love these characters, so it would be fun to keep a few of them moving forward in their lives."
