“Now, in current day, a disparate group of teenybopper women — a brand-new set of Little Liars — discover themselves laid low with an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the key sin dedicated by their dad and mom twenty years in the past…in addition to their very own.”
The collection actually looks like it will likely be extra Ravenswood than Fairly Little Liars, and the transfer to the world of streaming ought to permit for a darker collection.
PLL: The Perfectionists primarily tried to emulate the unique collection with a school setting, and whereas there have been some nice twists and turns, it did not differ sufficient from its predecessor to chart its personal path.
That most likely explains why that present received canceled after one season.
The logline alone provides us the hope that this new chapter will provide one thing totally different.

“We love the concept Rosewood exists. We reference it. There are Easter eggs all through the season.”
Do not anticipate any unique stars to have roles within the new collection.
