Gossip Girl isn’t the only popular teen series getting new life on HBO Max. The streamer just announced new details for Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.
Set 20 years after the events of Pretty Little Liars, Original Sin takes fans to a brand new town with a whole new generation of Little Liars.
Today, HBO Max announced two key cast members, Chandler Kinney and Maia Reficco.
Kinney (Zombies 2, Lethal Weapon) will play Tabby, an aspiring director and horror movie buff. Like the other Little Liars, Tabby’s hiding a secret.
Reficco (Strangers, Evita) 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.
The streamer also revealed Lisa Soper will direct the first two episodes of the series. Soper previously worked with showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin plans to begin production this summer in New York.
Here’s the official series description from HBO Max:
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 Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago…as well as their own. In the dark, coming-of-age, horror-tinged drama PRETTY LITTLE LIARS: ORIGINAL SIN, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe — in a brand-new town, with a new generation of Little Liars.
A premiere date for Original Sin has not been set, but check back to THS for more updates.
