‘Pretty Little Liars’ Reboot Canceled at Max
The Pretty Little Liars sequel/reboot at Max is done after two seasons.
The streamer has canceled the show, a horror-inflected take of the 2010s ABC Family/Freeform mystery. The decision comes about three months after PLL’s second season, subtitled Summer School, finished its run in June.

“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,” reads a statement from Max. “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.”
Season two ended with a tease of more potential frights, showing a group of girls wearing masks resembling the five Liars walking down the hallway of their high school. That image will be left hanging, however.
The Pretty Little Liars revamp scored a straight-to-series order at what was then called HBO Max in September 2020. The series, whose first season was titled Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, premiered on July 28, 2022, and earned a season two renewal shortly after its finale.
Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, Maia Reficco, Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Alex Aiono, Jordan Gonzalez and Elias Kacavas starred in season two. Aguirre-Sacasa (Riverdale) and Bring executive produced the Warner Bros. TV series with PLL creator Marlene King, Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo of Alloy Entertainment and Michael Grassi.
TVLine first reported the cancellation.
