About Pretty Little Liars

In the picture-perfect Pennsylvania town of Rosewood, four high-school girls are bound together by a single secret: the disappearance of their magnetic, manipulative ringleader, Alison DiLaurentis. A year after Alison vanishes without a trace, the friends have drifted apart, each clinging to lies the group once buried. Then the texts begin, signed only with a chilling initial: 'A'.

The anonymous tormentor knows everything, including secrets the girls thought died with Alison, and uses that knowledge to threaten, blackmail and endanger them at every turn. As bodies surface and suspects multiply, Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily are pulled into a web of forbidden romances, family scandals and police investigations that constantly circle back to them. Every season peels away another layer, only to reveal a darker one underneath.

Equal parts soapy teen drama and twisty whodunit, the series turned the question 'Who is A?' into a years-long cultural obsession before its final reveal. Adapted from Sara Shepard's best-selling novels, the show made stars of its central cast and defined an era of must-discuss television. It stars Lucy Hale, Troian Bellisario and Ashley Benson.
