Pretty Little Liars Cancelled At Max After 2 Seasons

This is one secret we wish we could keep: Max has opted not to renew Pretty Little Liars, cancelling the teen slasher-themed reboot after two seasons.

"While Max will not be moving forward with a third season of Pretty Little Liars, we are so grateful to our co-creators, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring, as well as the team at Warner Bros. Television, for reintroducing fans to this new iteration of liars who band together to fight the latest creepy villain terrifying Millwood," the streamer said in a statement. "Their unique and modern creative vision — combined with the immense talent of our cast and crew – gave the series a fun, horror-filled point of view that paid tribute to its original Rosewood roots.

The show's eight-episode second season wrapped in June with the reveal of Mrs. Lansgbury (Carey Van Driest) as the dreaded "Bloody Rose," with Wes (Derek Klena) working as her accomplice. It also featured with the return of Archie Waters, also known as "A," and the murder of Anne Sullivan (Annabeth Gish). The episode even teased the arrival of a new threat, as a group of girls wearing masks of the Liars were seen stalking the halls of Millwood High School.

Of those masked figures, co-showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told TVLine, "We needed a great horror tag, and we thought, 'Oh, maybe there's an offshoot of Spooky Spaghetti — a splinter group of teens who become obsessed with the girls and want to become some sort of like evil doppelgängers of the girls."

"There's a version of this that's just Tabby fantasizing about the movie she's making, but there's also a version of this where these doppelgängers are kind of like The Purge — Spooky Spaghetti fans who are disgruntled and going after our girls as our girls," added co-showrunner Lindsay Calhoon Bring. "We love all those possibilities."

Pretty Little Liars' second season starred Bailee Madison as Imogen, Chandler Kinney as Tabby, Zaria as Faran, Malia Pyles as Mouse, Maia Reficco as Noa, Mallory Bechtel as Kelly, Sharon Leal as Sidney, Alex Aiono as Shawn, Jordan Gonzalez as Ash and Elias Kacavas as Greg.
