Lucy Hale thinks “everyone is willing” to return for a Pretty Little Liars revival.
The 37-year-old actress, who played Aria Montgomery on the hit teen mystery series from 2010 to 2017, has backed calls for the show to return and revealed what needs to happen for that to become a reality.
She told Entertainment Tonight: “I don’t think it would take much. I think everyone is willing and would want to.
“I think it’s just a matter of schedule and getting the right script. I think the script has to be right, the storyline has to be right.”
Lucy is also keen to discover where her character and the rest of “the girls” are now.
She added: “And where is Aria? What’s Aria doing? Especially all the girls that came out of Rosewood, I feel like they’re not ever able to escape it.
“So, I feel like they somehow maybe left town but found their way back.”
Lucy has reunited with Ian Harding, who played her on-screen love interest Ezra Fitz on the show, in Hulu’s new festive film The 12 Dates of Christmas, and she pondered where their characters’ relationship ended up after the show ended.
She said: “I do believe Aria and Ezra are still together. I believe they have kids. I believe Aria has written some books.
Ian suggested Ezra has been busy “partying” and “just being an animal”, while he has his own idea of how to make a revival work.
He teased: “You know what I wish? If this was ever to be revisited, I want everybody to be in a place that is kind of what they wanted but maybe not quite, and then something brings them all back together.”
Lucy suggested a “tragedy” could bring all the characters “back to Rosewood”, adding: “There’s gotta be a new version of A as well.”
The duo appeared on the show alongside the likes of Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, and Holly Marie Combs, and Lucy previously explained that the cast are all still on speaking terms.
In 2024, she told E! News: “From the OG version, I talk to all of them. At different points in our lives, we’ve intersected and reconnected, but we all keep in touch. We spent so much of our lives on that show and it kickstarted all of our careers.”
After Pretty Little Liars ended its seven season run in 2017, Freeform moved ahead with one season of spinoff series Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists in 2019.
In 2022, HBO Max launched Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, which ended in 2024 after a second season subtitled Summer School.
