AceShowbiz - Max's "Pretty Little Liars" reboot has been canceled after two seasons. The series, which premiered in 2022 as "Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin," was a modern iteration of the popular "Pretty Little Liars" franchise based on the books by Sara Shepard.
It starred Bailee Madison, Zaria, Malia Pyles, Maia Reficco, Mallory Bechtel, and Chandler Kinney as a group of teenagers stalked by a new anonymous villain known as "A."
Co-creators Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring praised the cast and crew for their commitment to creating a fun and terrifying series that paid homage to the original show. Despite the cancellation, the creators are grateful for the opportunity to reintroduce fans to a new generation of liars.
Aguirre-Sacasa had previously expressed a desire to honor the legacy of the original series while expanding its universe. The Max reboot featured a diverse cast and a darker, scarier tone, setting it apart from its predecessors.
The original "Pretty Little Liars" series aired for seven seasons on Freeform, followed by spinoffs "Ravenswood" and "Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists" which aired for short periods.
The actors from the Max reboot have praised the show for fostering a strong sense of family among its cast. Chandler Kinney and Bailee Madison have expressed gratitude for the experience and shared their close bond.
The cancellation of "Pretty Little Liars" remake is disappointing for fans who had eagerly anticipated a third season. However, the show's legacy will likely continue to inspire future adaptations of the beloved book series.
