So, keep watching to find out everything you need to know about Pretty Little Liars, spinoff series Original Sin, as well as why Lucy Hale will not be involved. Lucy's not going to be involved with the Original Sin series, the upcoming HBO reboot of Pretty Little Liars. Pretty Little Liars Original Sin will not be starring original cast member Lucy Hale, according to the actress herself. The original was an ABC Family series that started in 2010 as an adaptation of the YA novel series of the same name by Sarah Shepard. Since the ABC drama came to an end in 2017, the show's produced multiple spin-offs, including The Perfectionist, which was sadly canceled after just one season. Hale revealed in November 2021 that she will not be joining the upcoming reboot, Pretty Little Liars Original Sin, as fans had hoped. Hale went on to state that no one from the original cast is involved in the upcoming series, as far as she knows. However, Hale noted that it will be dark, like its predecessor. Saying, as far as I know, no one from the original is involved in any way, she continued to say, from what I hear, it's going to be really dark. While some fans are saddened by the lack of Hale and other cast members, this gives the storyline a fresh start for a new generation, whipping the A-slate clean and starting anew. Oh my God, it's so depressing that I already have to give advice to a new generation, said Lucy in an interview. But I think it's great. It's an honor that they want to continue the legacy of Pretty Little Liars. I mean, how cool is that? I also know that Bailey Madison, who's in the show, and I adore her, will always support other artists and actors, no matter what the venture is. I think it's important that we do that because there's not enough of that. And I'm as curious as anyone to see what they're going to do with it.

Are there pretty Little Liar spinoffs? So three years between the original series and a reboot seems like a slim window, but this isn't even the first Pretty Little Liars spinoff series to emerge since the show's 2010 debut. The hit drama spawned two spinoffs, Liars Ravenswood in 2014 and Pretty Little Liars the Perfectionist in 2019. Ravenswood took place in a fictional town near Rosewood and followed the character of Caleb, played by Tyler Blackburn. Meanwhile, the perfectionist depicted Allison and Mona's lives at Beacon Heights University. The project really clicked with an audience and lasted only one season each. Other Shows by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa The key creative force behind Warner Bros. TV's growing Archie Comics-based TV universe has lined up two high-profile new drama series projects both in the gothic horror genre. HBO Max has ordered a pilot and an additional script for The Shelley Society, a mashup of gothic horror and teen romance featuring young Mary Shelley. Aguirre-Sacasa co-created with Riverdale writers Tessa Lee Williams and James DeWilly. Additionally, I hear that Aguirre-Sacasa has a specced script, The Brides, a reimagining of The Brides of Dracula about to hit the premium streaming marketplace, and marks another collaboration with Greg Berlanti's Berlanti Prods, which produces Riverdale, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Katie Keene, The Shelley Society, and The Brides are the first two projects to come out of the new mega-overall deal that he signed at Warner Bros. TV in April. Written, executive produced by Aguirre-Sacasa, DeWilly, and Williams, The Shelley Society is described as a Victorian X-Files. Young author Mary Shelley leads a band of romantic outlaws, among them her lovers Percy and Lord Viren, against all manners of supernatural threats and monsters, including Frankenstein, author Shelley's own iconic creature. Yep, Aguirre-Sacasa is also set as the showrunner for that one. Created by Aguirre-Sacasa and produced with Berlanti Productions, The Brides is a contemporary reimagining of the Dracula saga. It's a family drama with a trio of powerful, diverse female leads. With strong horror elements, The Brides is a vampire soap about empowered immortal women and the things they do to maintain wealth, prestige, legacy, and their non-traditional family.
