ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars fans will be getting a double-dose of drama with the launch of a spin-off series. The new series Ravenswood, from the creators of PLL, will be debuting in October 2013 following the Halloween episode of Pretty Little Liars.
Michael Riley, President ABC Family, announced the spin-off and the renewal of Pretty Little Liars for season five, saying, “Pretty Little Liars is brand-defining and demo-defining for ABC Family. We are proud to be able to grow the PLL franchise in two ways – both by adding additional seasons of the original and by extending the storytelling into a spin-off. Ravenswood will become another ‘must-tweet-TV’ series for us.”
“Pretty Little Liars has maintained the #1 spot in its cable time period in all core women demos since its premiere in 2010 with fans who are passionate, loyal, social and mobile. Ravenswood will have plenty of mystery, drama, friendships and suspense that will inspire the same dedication from its fans. We are very excited about both series,” added Kate Juergens, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Development.
Details on Ravenswood:
Ravenswood will center on a town, not far from Rosewood, PA, which has suffered under a deadly curse for generations. Five strangers suddenly find themselves connected by this fatal curse and need to dig into the town’s mysterious and terrible history before it’s too late for each of them.
