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 – is now moving to HBO Max with a new show called Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin. We’re not expecting Original Sin to be an outright horror show, but have to admit that the newly released teaser trailer is pretty creepy. You can check it out in the embed above.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin will premiere on HBO Max on July 28th. Three of the season’s ten episodes will be released that day, with two more following on both August 4th and 11th. Then the last three episodes of the season will be released on August 18th.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin has the following synopsis:
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 ‘A’ssailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago… as well as their own.
The show is said to be set within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe, and Millwood is located “miles away” from Rosewood, the setting of the original show. According to TV Line, Original Sin stars “Bailee Madison as Imogen, a “true survivor”; Chandler Kinney as Tabby, an aspiring director and horror movie buff; Maia Reficco as Noa, a track star freshly sprung from a juvenile detention center; Zaria as Faran, a “posed, disciplined ballerina” with big dreams; and Malia Pyles as Minnie, who avoids her childhood trauma by escaping to virtual worlds. Additional stars include Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Elena Goode, Lea Salonga, Eric Johnson, and Alex Aiono.”
All of the Pretty Little Liars properties have their roots in a series of novels written by Sara Shepard.
