ThePretty Little Liars: Original Sinteaser trailer depicts a hooded figure as they destroy photos of the liars, while an eerie piano version of the originalPretty Little Liarstheme song plays on a loop in the background. “Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in the present day, a disparate group of teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin committed by their parents two decades ago as well as their own," reads the official synopsis. “In the dark, coming-of-age, horror-tinged dramaPretty Little Liars: Original Sin, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existingPretty Little Liarsuniverse — in a brand-new town, with a new generation of Little Liars.”
This is a similar premise to the originalPretty Little Liarsshow and the book series of the same name that it’s based on, written by author Sara Shepard.Pretty Little Liars: Original Sinisset to hit HBO Maxlater this summer on July 28th with the release of three episodes. Then, on August 4 and 11, two more episodes will follow, with the series conclusion coming on August 18 with the final 3 episodes to wrap up the ten-episode season.
With the massive success the originalPretty Little Liarshad during its seven-season run on Freeform from 2010 to 2017, the show’s creators have been trying to recreate that success. With past spin-off series likeRavenswoodandThe Perfectionistsfalling flat after only one season,Original Sinhas some very big shoes to fill, considering the past history ofPretty Little Liarsreboots. However, with a new team behind the spin-off and a fresh new story that doesn’t entirely lean on cameo appearances and past storylines,Original Sinhas a fighting chance to be a massive success.
As the release ofPretty Little Liars: Original Sinrapidly approaches, die-hard fans of the franchise are extremely excited and hoping that Aguirre-Sacasca will do the beloved world ofPretty Little Liarsjustice in his new adaptation.
