PLL: Original Sin's Sheriff Beasley May Be Irredeemable, Says Creators

The showrunners of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin reveal whether Sheriff Beasley might actually be redeemed. Making its debut on HBO Max in late July, and featuring an ensemble cast that includes Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, and Maia Reficco, the Pretty Little Lies spinoff focuses on a new group of teenage girls that begin to receive ominous threats from a mysterious murderer simply named ‘A.'

He’s exceptionally cold with his family and he abuses his powerful job, sneering and spouting venom at whomever he happens to be sharing a scene with.
