The Pretty Little Liars reboot that aired on Max for two seasons has been canceled, meaning yet another genre-adjacent show with young adult focus has been given an early demise in too short of a time. The show – which often embraced horror tropes and aspects, and came from Riverdale’s Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa – would have thrived in the glory days of Freeform/ABC Family or The CW.
The first season of the updated PLL had the subtitle of Original Sin; Season 2 was called Summer School.
“While Max will not be moving forward with a third season of Pretty Little Liars, we are so grateful to our co-creators, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring, as well as the team at Warner Bros. Television, for reintroducing fans to this new iteration of liars who band together to fight the latest creepy villain terrifying Millwood,” Max said in a statement. “Their unique and modern creative vision — combined with the immense talent of our cast and crew — gave the series a fun, horror-filled point of view that paid tribute to its original Rosewood roots.”
Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, Maia Reficco, Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Alex Aiono, Jordan Gonzalez, and Elias Kacavas starred in the series.
