Pretty Little Liars set for epic reboot from creators of Riverdale three years on from dramatic finale
PRETTY Little Liars is set for an epic reboot from the creators of Riverdale three years on from its dramatic finale.
The Freeform series ran for seven seasons and the cast included Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell and Ashley Benson.
Based on the novels by Sara Shepard, it followed five teenage high school friends - Spencer, Alison, Aria, Hanna and Emily – who fall apart after Alison, their leader, goes missing.
Now Riverdale creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is planning a reboot with new storylines and new characters, although a synopsis is yet to be confirmed.
No network is currently attached to the project, although The Hollywood Reporter claims HBO Max is being considered.
The original series ran from 2010 to 2017 and Freeform tried to follow its success with two spin-off shows, Ravenswood in 2014 and Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists in 2019.
However, both were cancelled after just one season each.
At the time of The Perfectonists' cancellation, Pretty Little Liars original series creator I. Marlene King wrote on Instagram: "PLL will always be a giant part of me, my family and a lot of you.
"We'll carry our journey with us as we move onto new adventures, big and small, always with pride, love of our craft, and this amazing family we have built.
"My deepest gratitude to our cast and crew for their tremendous efforts. And to our passionate fans who gave us all of these years to play together. You will forever be appreciated and loved.

However, it is not clear if she will play any role in the reboot considering she moved from Warner Bros TV to Disney last year.
