We’re heading back to Rosewood. Sort of.
A Pretty Little Liars spin-off series has been announced starring two of the original cast members.
Freeform has handed out a pilot order for Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists – based on the Sara Shepard book of the same name.
The series will star Sasha Pieterse and Janel Parrish, who will be reprising their roles as Alison DiLaurentis and Mona Vanderwaal.
But rather than returning to Rosewood, the series will be taking place in the town of Beacon Heights – which, from the sounds of things, is even more dramatic than Rosewood.
The show’s description reads:
“Everything about the town of Beacon Heights seems perfect, from their top-tier college to their overachieving residents.
“But nothing in Beacon Heights is as it appears to be.
“The stress of needing to be perfect leads to the town’s first murder.
“Behind every Perfectionist is a secret, a lie and a needed alibi.”
The announcement about Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists comes just three months after the flagship show wrapped its final season.
Freeform’s executive vp programming and development Karey Burke said:
“At Freeform, we are committed to delivering shows that push boundaries and become a part of our viewers’ lives.
“Pretty Little Liars was a cultural phenomenon so it’s no wonder fans wanted more.
“We can’t wait to continue Marlene King’s rich and revolutionary storytelling with a new crop of leading ladies from Beacon Heights who will hold just as many secrets and lies as Rosewood did.”
