A new "A" terrorizes a new group of liars in "Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin". Starring Bailee Madison (Imogen), Malia Pyles (Minnie), Maia Reficco (Noa), Chandler Kinney (Tabby), and Zaria (Faran), HBO Max's next show is set miles from Rosewood in another fictional Pennsylvania hamlet and comes years after a "series of tragic events nearly tore the working town of Millwood apart".

It's so much more than just a kick of a knife, which obviously sucks, but I think the balance is what terrified me the most." Pyles notes: "Audiences will definitely be on a roller coaster ride.
