Lucy Hale may potentially make a cameo in the upcoming season of Pretty Little Liars: Summer School. The official poster for season 2 was released, hinting at a killer summer ahead for fans. Hale, who portrayed Aria Montgomery in the original series, hinted at a possible return in the comments section of the post, leading to speculation among fans about Aria making an appearance in future episodes of the new season. Pretty Little Liars originally aired from 2010 to 2017 on ABC Family and Freeform, and a new iteration titled Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin premiered in July 2022.
The new season of Pretty Little Liars takes place in the fictional town of Millwood, where a group of teen girls find themselves tormented by an unknown assailant. Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Faran Bryant, Malia Pyles, and Maia Reficco star as the new Liars in the series. In the last episode of the first season, it was revealed that Madison’s character, Imogen, gave her baby for adoption to Aria and Ezra Fitz, who had been trying to have a baby for a long time. Aria’s struggle with infertility was a plot point in the original series, and they later adopted a daughter named Katherine Ella. Hale discussed the possibility of returning to the role of Aria in an interview, expressing gratitude for her experience on the show and leaving the door open for a potential reboot.
While Whale showrunner Robert Aguirre-Sacasa has not confirmed if any original Liars will appear in the new season, he teased a bigger, bolder, and more intense premise for Summer School. The villain in the new season is depicted as a female figure of horror, exploring a female-centered horror narrative. The show aims to create a scarier and more apocalyptic villain compared to the previous season, drawing inspiration from classic horror films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Midsommar. The goal is to tap into horrific imagery and continue to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with terrifying plot developments.
Fans of Pretty Little Liars are eagerly anticipating the upcoming season of Summer School and speculating on potential cameos from original cast members like Lucy Hale. The new iteration of the popular series promises to deliver a thrilling and intense storyline with a focus on female-centered horror and a terrifying new villain.
