Students gather at the Orpheum for the movies; the video is played before the first film and an humiliated Karen flees, followed by her twin, Kelly. Kelly, impersonating Karen, confesses to Principal Clanton that she was the one that committed the crimes The Liars were punished for, but this was just the twins' plan to get back at Imogen for the video.

### Development

[edit]

On September 2, 2020, it was announced that a new Pretty Little Liars series was in development at Warner Bros., with Riverdale creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa taking over as showrunner from I. Marlene King.[16] Original Sin takes place within the same continuity as the previous television series, but follows new characters and storylines in a new setting.[17][2]

On September 24, 2020, HBO Max gave the series a direct-to-series order of 10 episodes and was named Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, with Aguirre-Sacasa teaming up with Lindsay Calhoon Bring to develop the series.[18] Aguirre-Sacasa also executive produces the series alongside King, Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo. Production companies involved with the series are Muckle Man Productions, Alloy Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Television.[19][20]

On September 7, 2022, HBO Max renewed the series for a second season, retitled as Pretty Little Liars: Summer School.[4][5] On September 20, 2024, Max canceled the series after two seasons.[7]

### Filming

[edit]

The series was set to film at Upriver Studios in Saugerties, New York, in mid to late 2021.[29] Filming began on August 23, 2021, in the city of Hudson, New York, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[30][31] Filming wrapped on May 2, 2022.[32]

The series' second season began filming in April 2023.[33] In May 2023, it was reported that filming for the second season has been delayed due to the writers strike.[34] However, after a deal was reached on September 27, along with the actors strike on November 9, filming for the second season resumed later that same month and wrapped on December 8, 2023.[35]

### Music

[edit]

Film composer Joseph Bishara was hired to do the series' score for Original Sin.[36] He is known for his work in horror movies, including the Insidious film series and The Conjuring franchise.[36] A remix version of "Secret" by the Pierces appeared in the opening sequence.[37][38] The original song was previously used as the opening theme in the original Pretty Little Liars, while Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists used a cover version by Denmark + Winter.

Composer Ronit Kirchman was brought onto the Summer School season to score the original music. [39] The Soundtrack to the Series was released on WaterTower Music on June 20, 2024. Kirchman's music, known primarily for her work on The Sinner, was recognized twice by IndieWire as a Best TV Score,[40] where they state that "Kirchman is so deft at dialing up the dissonance in a way that, by the time anyone realizes that something’s amiss, it’s probably already too late."

## Release

The series premiered on July 28, 2022, with the first three episodes available, followed by two more episodes each on August 4 and 11, and then the final three episodes on August 18.[3] The second season, subtitled Summer School was released on May 9, 2024, with two new episodes, followed by a new episode on a weekly basis until the season finale on June 20, 2024.[6]
