Pretty Little Liars debuted 15 years ago.

Nearly eight years after wrapping its final season, the Liars still have a place in viewers’ hearts.

The Freeform show created a huge fandom and catapulted a few of its stars into the main spotlight.

In keeping with the celebration of 15 years of Pretty Little Liars, we have decided to share an update on where some stars are today.

From being working moms to slinking into a more “normal” life, the women (and men) have certainly changed since Season 1 debuted.

Here is where you can find the Liars today.

Aria Montgomery was one of the characters that viewers were split about.

Some loved her, while others loved to hate her.

A true sign of a great actress is someone who can make the fandom feel something for the character.

11 TV Shows That Make...

The cast of Pretty Little Liars has agreed that they would be open to the idea of reviving the show, but it would require a different direction. A combination of I Know What You Did Last Summer meets Gossip Girl made Pretty Little Liars an unexpected hit for ABC's cable channel Freeform. The show ran seven seasons, and saw a raft of character arcs, plot twists surrounding the identities of Pretty Little Liars' vengeful antagonist 'A', romances, and unexpected deaths. The show was well received by critics and developed a cult following globally.

Speaking to THR, for a retrospective of the show turning 15, cast members Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, Tyler Blackburn, Shay Mitchell, Sasha Pieterse, and Ian Harding revealed they would be open to a revival as long as one condition is met. Discussing the chances of a reunion nine years after the series finale, the general consensus among the...

On the eve of Pretty Little Liars’ 15-year anniversary, the five original “Liars” and series creator I. Marlene King have gone on record saying they are ready to return to Rosewood—if the format is right. “It would need to be a film because I don’t think it could sustain another season,” Troian Bellisario told The Hollywood Reporter, comments later amplified by E! Online. King echoed the idea, saying she’s “game” for “a movie or limited 10 episodes” so long as she can craft “a good idea to bring everybody back.”

Castmates Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell, Ashley Benson and Sasha Pieterse each laid down their own conditions—Mitchell “can’t do it without my girls,” Benson jokingly wants Hanna to be the new “A,” while Pieterse is simply “always open” to a reunion. Hale, who reunites with co-star Tyler Blackburn whenever schedules allow, recently told fans she would join a project “in a heartbeat.

“I’m still here bitches, and I know everything –A,” read an anonymous text to four best friends 15 years ago.

During the summer of 2010 in the fictional town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania, Pretty Little Liars, which was based on the book series by author Sara Shepard, premiered on ABC Family (now Freeform), sent social media into a frenzy and has remained a highly talked-about show in pop culture. The mystery drama centered around the self-titled Pretty Little Liars — Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale), Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario), Hanna Marin (Ashley Benson) and Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell) — who reunited due to the ominous texts after having drifted apart for a year when their best friend, Alison Dilaurentis (Sasha Pieterse), went missing.

Throughout the show’s seven-year run, the girls try to find out what really happened to Alison (aka “Ali”) the night she went missing and presumably died, only to find out in...

For many, the early 2010s were peak TV. They didn't offer the best quality shows, the way modern Emmy-winning shows like Succession, The Bear, or The Handmaid's Talehave made an impact, but they gathered loyal followers and became cult classics for many.

Pretty Little Liars was one of them. The show didn't earn any major awards, although it received great reviews, and, even eight years later, its legacy is undeniable. Lead star Lucy Hale took to Instagram to celebrate a major milestone: Pretty Little Liars' 15th anniversary, highlighting that people are still discovering the show.

The actress shared a series of photos from the set of the teen drama, including her co-stars Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell, Sasha Pierce, Ian Harding, and more. Some shots were from the series, and many represented fun moments the cast had when filming.

It was a popular night at the restaurant as Kendall Jenner and Ashley Benson were also spotted there, all separately.

The 35-year-old Pretty Little Liars actress and the 44-year-old oil heir stepped out to attend the 2025 Race to Erase Ms Gala on Friday night (May 16) at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Ashley and Brandon attended the event to support his mom Nancy Davis, who is the founder of the charity.

More than a decade after the original Spring Breakers was released in 2012, the cult classic thriller is getting a sequel. Written and directed by Harmony Korine, Spring Breakers follows college students Candy, Faith, Brit, and Cotty, low on cash, who decide to rob a Florida diner so they can pay for their spring break trip. But they are soon arrested by the police. Luckily, a drug dealer/rap artist named Allen bails them out, and they opt for a life of crime.

Now, a new Spring Breakers, titled Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain, has been confirmed, per Variety. However, there's a catch that might be disappointing for big fans of the previous film. While the original Spring Breakers starred Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, James Franco, and Gucci Mane, that will not be the case with Salvation Mountain. The sequel will feature an entirely new cast - and a new director.

Harmony Korine's 2013 film "Spring Breakers" is a time capsule of the early 2010s -- a time when James Franco was still a big-name movie star and Skrillex's brostep bass wobbles soundtracked all of the cool parties in town. Starring Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine, the film follows four college students who turn to a life of crime after meeting Alien (Franco), a drug dealer who convinces them to wear pink balaclavas, carry machine guns, and dance to Britney Spears power ballads.

Considering that Harmony Korine was banned from "The David Letterman Show" for causing mischief, it makes sense that he'd create a movie about renegades wreaking havoc. That said, "Spring Breakers" also taps into the universal feeling of being young, carefree, and wanting the party to last forever -- themes most of us can relate to, even if we didn't grow up listening to...

Didn't have this latest bit of news on our 2025 movie bingo card, but here we are. Released in 2012, Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers received reasonably positive reviews from critics given its divisive subject matter, and it provided a more adult vehicle for its younger stars, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Benson, known for more light teen fare at the time. James Franco's turn in the film also received positive notices, but nothing about its reception gave the impression that more stories needed to be told. However, in this industry, one can never say never as it appears that more from this universe is coming our way.

Per Variety, a sequel to Spring Breakers is moving forward but with a brand-new cast and director. Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain will star Bella Thorne, Ariel Martin, Grace Van Dien and True Whitaker as a new set of rebellious young girls...

The Spring Breakers sequel is finally coming. The original 2013 movie, which was the third film ever distributed by A24, was written and directed by Harmony Korine (who later helmed the Matthew McConaughey movieThe Beach Bum) and followed college girls robbing a diner to fund their spring break trip and eventually being dragged further into the criminal underworld. After it made back more than six times its reported $5 million budget with a $31.7 million box office haul, multiple follow-ups were scrapped while in development, including the Jonas Åkerlund sequel Spring Breakers: The Second Coming and a web series.

Per Variety, Spring Breakers 2 is officially in the works with Capstone Global and Signature Entertainment's company Capture kicking off sales at Cannes. The movie, which is titled Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain, will be directed by Matthew Bright and follow four girls, whose spring break road trip "explodes out of control" to the point...

Get your bathing suit ready — a Spring Breakers sequel is on the way. Variety reports that Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain, the new movie from filmmaker Matthew Bright (Freeway), will follow in the footsteps of the original, even boasting a star-studded cast that will take over the next chapter of the story where Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, and James Franco left off with director Harmony Korine more than a decade ago. This time around, the action will play out between a primary ensemble that includes Bella Thorne (Shake It Up!), Grace Van Dien (Stranger Things), Ariel Martin (Zombies 2), and True Whitaker (Godfather of Harlem).

In typical Spring Breakers fashion, the movie will follow the quartet of girls who strike out for the time of their lives during spring break. Billed as “a bold new ride for Gen Z,” the group will find plenty of trouble along the way with the...

Emily Alyn Lind plays the lead, Cadence Sinclair, in Prime Video’s new series, We Were Liars. The series is based on E. Lockhart’s 2014 novel of the same name, which received critical acclaim. The teaser trailer of the show just dropped, and from the way it is presented, fans couldn’t help but immediately think of Freeform’s thriller series Pretty Little Liars.

At the beginning, it appears that we are in for a summer vacation show until the mood quickly changes into something much darker. Julie Plec of The Vampire Diaries fame and Carina Adly MacKenzie of The Originals fame serve as the co-showrunners of the show.

Emily Alyn Lind’s We Were Liars immediately reminds us of Pretty Little Liars Emily Alyn Lind as Cadence Sinclair in We Were Liars | Credits: Prime Video

Emily Alyn Lind’s narration begins the official teaser of We Were Liars in a pretty soothing way.

I. Marlene King's mega-hit teen drama, "Pretty Little Liars," opens with a straightforward pilot episode. In the episode's cold open, a young girl goes missing during a sleepover, setting the stage for a one-year time-jump revolving around the other girls who were there when it happened. The missing girl, Alison Dilaurentis (Sasha Pieterse), still hasn't been found, but her friends collectively receive threatening messages from a certain "A," who seems to know a lot about each of their deepest, darkest secrets. With time, we (along with the girls) learn more about that fateful night, along with the central group's complicated dynamics with one another, especially with the mean-spirited Alicent. There's plenty of drama and intrigue to unwrap here, as this is a show that hinges on snappy dialogue and red herrings to create a convoluted mystery with no obvious solutions.

As confusing and thematically iffy as "Pretty Little Liars" can be at times,...

Plot: A haunting psychological thriller based on one of America’s most infamous figures. After the Waco siege, a chilling plan brews in the mind of army veteran Timothy McVeigh. What follows are the harrowing events leading up to the single deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.

Review: Anyone around in the 90s likely remembers the name Timothy McVeigh. And if you don’t, chances are the words “Oklahoma City Bomber” ring a bell at least. Serving as the deadliest act of homegrown terrorism in US History, the bombings were an absolutely tragic loss of life. Now, McVeigh looks to shed light on the motivations of the two bombers: Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh.

McVeigh is a slow-burn story that follows Timothy as he gets radicalized after the Waco shootings. He viewed himself as a constitutionalist and felt the government was fascist, not following the Declaration of Independence as intended.

As a psychological crime thriller, McVeigh (2025) relies on the tense atmosphere surrounding its characters. It centers around a war veteran who commits an act of domestic terrorism. Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones) plays Timothy McVeigh, a real-life terrorist the film is based upon, who is the perpetrator of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. Mike Ott has directed this film, whose efforts turn it into a brooding affair. The entire film feels like the silence before the storm. It shows McVeigh slowly getting sucked into a destructive philosophy that destroys several lives.

Spoilers Ahead

McVeigh (2025) Plot Summary & Movie Synopsis:

Mike Ott’s direction makes McVeigh appear like a gradually escalating affair, leading up to something devastating. However, it steers clear of using heightened moments, turning the film into a study of the character’s indecipherable interiority. The film moves at a glacial pace and presents its protagonist as an enigma, whose...

It’s not the easiest task to talk to actors about such dark subject matter, especially when the events are based on reality. Brett Gelman gets into all of the research that went into his role as Terry Nichols, McVeigh’s partner and the one who taught him how to build bombs. I was then shocked to discover that Ashley Benson had been involved with the project for nearly 6 years! Anthony Carrigan was more soft-spoken, and I wish I could have gotten into something lighter like his Barry days. But he gets into what kind of research he was able to do, given that his character was mostly based on an unknown third assailant.

McVeigh is a haunting psychological thriller based on one of America's most infamous figures. After the Waco siege, a chilling plan brews in the mind of army veteran Timothy McVeigh. What follows are the harrowing events leading up to the single deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.

Alfie Allen plays the movie's title character and he's surrounded by a phenomenal supporting cast that includes Brett Gelman (Stranger Things), Ashley Benson (Pretty Little Liars), and Anthony Carrigan (Superman).

Earlier this week, we were fortunate enough to speak with them about their work on the must-see new movie. While we'll bring you a full transcription of our interview soon, Anthony was kind enough to share a few brief remarks about his role as Metamorpho in James Gunn's upcoming Dcu reboot.

The character's role in the story has been kept under wraps, though we did catch a glimpse of...

Timothy McVeigh ruthlessly murdered 167 men, women, and children when he bombed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. It is the worst act of domestic terrorism in American history. McVeigh does not portray this man as a monster with devil's horns and scales. Director/co-writer Mike Ott uses subtlety to craft a chilling portrayal of a calculating white supremacist hellbent on causing the most carnage possible. You could have passed him on the street without much outward clue of his malicious intentions. McVeigh operated quietly in the shadows, but had allies and accomplices that shared his heinous vision. This is the most disturbing aspect of the film.

Alfie Allen stars as McVeigh. We first see him getting pulled over by a state trooper. He uses a fake driver's license to conceal his true identity. There doesn't seem to be anything threatening about the soft-spoken man. He's...

Ashley Benson, Anthony Carrigan & Brett Gelman speak with MovieWeb about their parts in the tense new film 'McVeigh,' which chronicles the alienation and anger of Timothy McVeigh and the events leading up to the Oklahoma City bombing. Anthony Carrigan also teases (in the smallest of ways) his character in James Gunn's upcoming 'Superman' movie. 'McVeigh' is in theaters, on digital, and on demand starting March 21, 2025, from Decal.

'McVeigh' is a haunting psychological thriller based on one of America's most infamous figures. After the Waco siege, a chilling plan brews in the mind of army veteran Timothy McVeigh. What follows are the harrowing events leading up to the single deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.

At a New York Imax screening of “Spring Breakers,” Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco crashed the party, saying hello to hundreds of fans who showed up to watch A24’s bikini-clad drug bonanza on the nation’s second-largest screen.

Moviegoers shrieked as Gomez and Blanco made their surprise appearance, and one was heard saying, “Oh my God. I need to call everybody I know.”

“Hi guys,” Gomez said to the audience. “Did you guys enjoy one of my favorite movies ever?”

Gomez then pulled out her phone to take a selfie with the crowd at AMC Lincoln Square, promising to send it to “Spring Breakers” director “Harmony [Korine] and the girls,” referring to co-stars Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine.

During the short visit, Gomez and Blanco previewed a clubby track, “Bluest Flame,” off their upcoming album “I Said I Love You First,” and sent everyone home with a Usb drive containing the yet-to-be-released song.

At a time when the stories behind shocking headlines are routinely turned into true crime podcasts and star-studded Netflix series, the question of how to tell them ethically is often raised. For its part, Mike Ott’s McVeigh delivers about as un-exploitative and un-sensationalized a depiction of Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh as could possibly be imagined—to the point that, if anything, the film ends up understated to a fault.

McVeigh begins with Timothy (Alfie Allen) driving down a country road as weathered as his car. Nothing happens for a spell, until Timothy is pulled over by a cop. But nothing much happens at this point either, and Timothy is soon free to continue on his way. Something about the relative lack of incident and the dreary, sparse environment puts us on edge. From the start, McVeigh thrums with a sense of alienation and hostility so pronounced that even those...
