Pretty Little Liars
Time to bring your A game.
Created by I. Marlene King
On ABC Family, Freeform
A long-running teen mystery built on sustained paranoia and female friendship, where the pleasure comes from decoding secrets and navigating high school social stakes alongside an unseen antagonist.
Based on the Pretty Little Liars series of young adult novels by Sara Shepard, the series follows the lives of four girls — Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Emily — whose clique falls apart after the disappearance of their queen bee, Alison. One year later, they begin receiving messages from someone using the name "A" who threatens to expose their secrets — including long-hidden ones they thought only Alison knew.
