Ever since Pretty Little Liars ended back in 2017, fans have been hoping the original
cast would eventually make a comeback.
And now these fans might have something to be excited about because Lucy Hale just spilled
the tea about a potential reboot of the show.
What’s up?
Happy Friday guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News and if you were a die
hard Pretty Little Liars fan, then this is the moment you’ve been waiting for for around
three years now.
We all know the show went out with quite the bang both confirming some fan theories and
leaving others disappointed.
And ever since then we’ve all wanted more from the original characters like Aria, Hanna,
Emily, Spencer, Ali, and Mona.
Obviously, we all know that there have been spin offs of the original show, but OG fans
have always wanted to bring back the entire OG crew.
And now we might actually be getting the news that we’ve all been waiting for thanks to
a recent interview with Lucy Hale AKA Aria.
Lucy revealed that she’s ready to be reunited with her Pretty Little Liars castmates!
The cast recently announced that they would be getting together virtually for a Feeding
America fundraiser reunion.
When they were presented with the idea of this reunion, Lucy said it was "a no-brainer"
for her and the rest of the cast to sign on and see each other’s faces and help a great
cause during this tough time.
And that virtual reunion is actually happening today!
You had to donate and buy a ticket to watch live, but I’m sure there will be plenty
of clips from the reunion coming out over the coming days and we will be sure to keep
you guys posted on those.
Ashley Benson, Troian Bellisario, Tyler Blackburn, Ian Harding, Shay Mitchell, Janel Parrish
and Sasha Pieterse are all set to be in attendance from their homes and we can’t wait to watch
the entire thing.
But even after news of the virtual reunion broke, many fans still hoped for the cast
to return to their characters in either a movie or a reboot of the show.
And in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Lucy revealed that that might actually
be possible.
She said quote, “Anything is possible at this point.
I don't rule anything out, [but] I feel like we'd need a little more time to pass.
I feel like we would get more out of it if we were, like, 10 years down the road.
I feel like they're gonna do a spinoff or something before then.”
Ok so maybe the reboot wouldn’t happen today or tomorrow or even next year, but it sounds
like the possibility is definitely there down the road.
And Lucy continued on explaining that if the opportunity does come for a reboot or even
another spin off, she wants to be involved in the creative process to make sure it’s
done right.
She said quote, “I'm so protective of this show.
So I feel like when the time comes that they want to do it with a whole new cast, I might
have to produce it because I'm way too protective of it.”
And whether or not the original cast signs on for a new show or movie, Lucy has been
thinking about her character, Aria, what she would be up to right now with her longtime
love, Ezra.
She said quote, “I feel like they would be social distancing anyway.
They were so strange.
I feel like they would be in a cabin just alone anyway.
They were always like an old married couple, even when they were young.
They're knitting and having tea.
I don't know what else they're doing.”
And while Aria might be thriving in the Q, Lucy said she herself is taking it “day
by day” as she’s been spending a lot of time alone.
She said quote, “I think that some days are harder than others and I have to keep
a perspective.
I'm just grateful I have sunshine.
I have my dog.
It's been a little hard doing it alone.
We as humans need human connection...
I think we're all feeling it at this point.
[I'm] staying optimistic.
Eating a lot junk food.
Watching a lot of TV.”
Lucy also added that quote, "I feel like Tom Hanks in Cast Away.
I'm talking to things that aren't here.
It's just crazy."
And I totally feel you Lucy, I’ve been right there with ya.
But fans are just beyond excited about the reunion and the potential for the original
cast to get back together for another reboot.
One excited person tweeted saying quote, “omg did lucy hale really just hint at producing
a pretty little liars reboot?!
someone pinch me because that's literally a dream.
I need the PLL cast to reprise their roles IMMEDIATELY.
that's the only thing that could fix 2020”
Another fan jumped in writing quote, “PRETTY LITTLE LIARS REUNION EXCUSE MEEE?!?!
I AM ONE OF THE FEW WHO ACTUALLY WATCHED IT TIL THE END SO IM LIVINGGGGGG”
This fan decided to shoot their shot and tweet at the show’s creator asking quote, “After
the social distancing there will be a PLL movie or season 8 PLL or season 2 The perfectionist
PLL?”
And another fan wrote quote, “We-omg....well we want Season 8 then”
And we couldn’t agree more!
Nothing sounds better than brand new Pretty Little Liars to binge, right about now.
But I want to know what you guys think about all of this.
Would you be excited about a PLL reboot with the original cast or do you think the show
should just be left how it ended?
