It won’t be one and done for Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin. HBO Max officially announced they’ve renewed the drama for a second season less than a month after the season one finale aired.

The 10-episode first season debuted on July 28, 2022 and starred Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, Maia Reficco, Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Elena Goode, Eric Johnson, Alex Aiono, and Lea Salonga. The renewal announcement didn’t confirm who will be returning or when we can expect the second season to arrive.

Executive producer/writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Riverdale) and co-executive producer/writer Lindsay Calhoon Bring created the series, based on Sara Shepard’s bestselling book series.

“We are so proud of the incredible response both critically and from fans that Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin has received. Viewers have embraced our new generation of Liars, and Roberto and Lindsay’s brilliantly dark, horror-fueled take on this iconic franchise,” stated Sarah Aubrey, Head of Original Content, HBO Max. “Along with Alloy and Warner Bros. Television, we are thrilled to continue the Pretty Little Liars legacy.”

Aguirre-Sacasa’s Muckle Man Productions and Alloy Entertainment produced PLLOS, in association with Warner Bros. Television. Additional executive producers include I. Marlene King, Michael Grassi, Caroline Baron, and Alloy’s Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo.

“We are beyond excited to continue telling stories with our amazing group of little liars — exploring their friendships, their romances, their secrets, and their status as scream queens supreme! Eternal thanks to the fans who have embraced this new, horror-version of Pretty Little Liars — which we’ll be continuing, of course — as well as our partners at HBO Max, Warner Bros. Television, and Alloy Entertainment. As Tabby would say, ‘There’s a sequel in the offing!’” said Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring.

The season one plot, courtesy of HBO MAX: “Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in present day, a disparate group of teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin committed by their parents two decades ago…as well as their own.

In the dark, coming-of-age, horror-tinged drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe — in a brand-new town, with a new generation of Little Liars.”
