‘Pretty Little Liars’ season 7 confirmed to be final season

It looks like the “Pretty Little Liars” are taking this one to the grave. Today, Freeform finally confirmed what many have been speculating on for quite some time, and that is that the seventh season of their landmark drama will be its last.

In a statement per Deadline, show creator I. Marlene King had the following to say about shutting things down:

“It’s been an honor to work with such a talented cast and crew over the last seven years. We are a family, and it will be hard to say goodbye to a show that has made such an impact on young audiences and been a mouthpiece for cultural change. I’m excited for fans to finally have all of their questions answered, and I believe they will be satisfied with the wild ride that is our last ten episodes … I am also thrilled to embark on my next endeavor ‘Famous In Love’ with Bella Thorne and for PLL fans to get wrapped up in Paige’s rise to stardom and the pitfalls of Hollywood.”

The reason King specifically references “Famous in Love,” her new series starring Bella Thorne as Paige, is because it will be the follow-up to the series in many ways. That show will premiere, per Deadline, following the series finale of “Pretty Little Liars,” which should air at some point in the late spring / early summer. The second half of the final season will premiere in April, which is months later than the usual winter premiere.
