This article contains spoilers for the TV series Pretty Little Liars.

Several characters took on the villainous mantle of ‘A’ across Pretty Little Liars’ seven seasons. Some were the true masterminds behind the plans for the Liars’ downfall, while others served as minions on the ‘A’ Team, there to do ‘A’s’ bidding and keep tabs on what the Liars were up to. Not every ‘A’ or member of the ‘A’ Team is equal though, with some being significantly more terrifying than others.

Here’s every person who was officially part of the ‘A’ conspiracy ranked by general scariness as blackmailers, stalkers, and criminal masterminds and by how satisfying their reveal was in the series.

Pretty Little Liars' series finale was shocking, to say the least. After seven seasons, the ABC Family series came to an end by revealing that the true A is actually the long lost twin sister of... Spencer (Troian Bellisario). Spencer and this mystery sibling, named Alex Drake, were separated at birth, setting off a truly unpredictable chain of events. It's a story that's honestly too insane to understand, but here's the short of it: Mary Drake (Andrea Parker), the twin sister of Jessica DeLaurentis, Alison's mom, gave birth to Alex and Spencer in the Radley Sanitorium. Spencer was placed with her biological father Mark Hastings, while Alex was sent to live with a rich family in...

A new generation of Pretty Little Liars will get underway on HBO Max in 2022, and one of the original stars has some advice for the newbies.

Lucy Hale chatted with TV Line about the forthcoming Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.

"I have a feeling their lives are about to drastically change, like ours did," the Aria Montgomery star shared with the outlet.

"When I was doing Pretty Little Liars, I was always thinking about the next year," she said of her time on the series.

"I was never in the moment, so I missed a lot of the little moments."

"We were worrying about things we shouldn’t be worrying about," Hale added.

The former star went on to give some advice to the new stars.

"It’s very vague, but my advice is just to enjoy it."

"It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience," she continued.

Bailee Madison is headed to the world of Pretty Little Liars.

Per Deadline, the Once Upon a Time and Good Witch grad has landed a lead role on Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.

She is set to play Imogen, who is described as a "true survivor."

“Like all of the Liars, Imogen is a final girl,” according to the character breakdown.

“She will drive the mystery of uncovering ‘A’ as she fights for her life and the lives of her friends.”

She joins Chandler Kinney and Maia Reficco on the cast of the reboot.

HBO Max has given a direct-to-series order to a “Pretty Little Liars” reboot from “Riverdale” creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the streaming service said Thursday.

Titled “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” the show will be set in a new town and follow a “new generation” of liars, but exist in the same universe as the Freeform series created by I. Marlene King and based on the novel series of the same name written by Sara Shepard. King is not involved in the reboot.

Here’s the official description for “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin”:

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

“Riverdale” creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is working on a reboot of Freeform’s “Pretty Little Liars,” TheWrap has learned.

Aguirre-Sacasa’s take on the teen drama, which was created by I. Marlene King and based on the novel series of the same name written by Sara Shepard, would follow a new story, focused on new characters. He is developing the “Pll” project for Warner Bros. TV — which recently absorbed “Pretty Little Liars’s” original studio, Warner Horizon — where he has an overall deal.

Showrunner of both The CW’s “Riverdale” and Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” Aguirre-Sacasa will executive produce the potential reboot series alongside Alloy Entertainment’s Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo.

No platform is attached to the reboot, which is still in the early stages of development and has not been taken out to the marketplace yet.

Warner Bros. TV declined to comment on the “Pretty Little Liars” project.

Life is imitating art for Ian Harding!

For the past seven seasons, the 30-year-old actor has played writer Ezra Fitz on the hit Freeform drama Pretty Little Liars, and now Harding himself can add author to his resume thanks to his new book, Odd Birds.

"It did sort of dawn on me at the beginning of writing it that this could be a big cliché," Harding dished to Et during a live Facebook interview this week. "People are like, 'Oh, you play a writer on TV, are you going to be a writer in real life too? Cool.' That was on my mind a lot, [but] probably halfway through season six [of Pll], I wanted to try something different."

Twisted twins and doppelgangers. Some engage in incest, others just have horrible, even life-threatening relationships.

For some reason, the shows with twins played by the same actor or actress, in this case Alexandra Chando of The Lying Game, or Sarah Michelle Gellar of Ringer, don't seem to last very long.

But these relationships are always so juicy and dark because even compared to siblings, there's just a certain bond between twins that is undeniable and leads to much deeper rifts in their family fabric.

Seems like daytime soaps have an uncanny habit of revealing a shocking doppelganger.

Below, here are some of our favorite dark, deep, twisty, and puzzling twin relationships.

The girls are digging a grave, but it’s unclear for whom. We’re supposed to assume it’s for Hanna (Ashley Benson), but anyone who’s spent some time with Pretty Little Liars, or has an inkling about how television works, knows it’s unlikely that the beloved character would face such a callous demise.

That's the question Pretty Little Liars fans face after Tuesday night's (literally!) electrifying spring finale.
