PLL: Original Sin Season 1 Will Reveal A's Identity, Promises Showrunner
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the showrunner behind HBO Max's Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, confirms A's identity will be revealed by the end of season 1. After several failed spin-offs, the iconic YA franchise Pretty Little Liars, which started with Sara Shepard's hit novels, has returned via a sequel series on HBO Max. Original Sinfollows a new group of Little Liars in the town of Millwood as they unravel the misdeeds of their mothers and are targeted by a frightening new A. The show features a star-studded cast of new liars, including Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, and Mallory Bechtel.
In the original Pretty Little Liars, the identity of A was an aspect that was incredibly drawn out. Not only did it take some time to unveil the first A, the series introduced a number of villains who would claim that letter as their menacing moniker, with each one seemingly bigger than the last. Though this extended the central mystery quite a bit, it also caused problems for Pretty Little Liars. Several episodes were reduced to filler installments as a result, and critical response from audiences who wished for some answers became fairly negative. Furthermore, having such a strong buildup was known to cause the eventual A reveal to be quite anticlimactic, with many expecting much more. However, this appears to be something that Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin will improve upon.
