Lucy Hale talks Pretty Little Liars movie during charity reunion: ‘I think we just need to do it’

Eight members of the Pretty Little Liars cast and creator I. Marlene King remotely reunited on Friday via Cast4Good on Looped to raise funds for Feeding America.

It’s been three years since the ABC Family teen drama – based on Sara Shepard’s young adult novel series – concluded after seven successful seasons, and it’s now streaming on Amazon Prime.

Lucy Hale – who played artsy teen Aria Montgomery – discussed the possibility of a Pretty Little Liars spin-off movie.  

‘”When are you going back to do Pretty Little Liars?” We’ve done done for three years but the [fans] love it that much,’ the Katy Keene star – turning 31 next month – said.

‘I always get asked about when we’re doing a movie. People always think we’re doing a movie, I think we just need to do it.’

Ian Harding – who played English teacher Ezra Fitz – quipped: ‘If it does happen, it has to be pretty extreme. Like I want in the first 10 minutes, one of the people in this Zoom call right now dies.’

King assured fans that Troain Bellisario and Keegan Allen’s characters Spencer and Toby were ‘totally still together.’

‘Spencer definitely is practicing law, and Toby is building little mini houses for homeless vets. So they’re rocking it. They probably have kids already,’ the 57-year-old showrunner said.

Speaking of which, Tyler Blackburn reflected on his character Caleb Rivers’ controversial hook-up with Spencer.

‘It obviously caused a little backlash, but there’s no such thing as bad press, you know what I mean?’ Blackburn said.

‘I was obviously a Haleb shipper, as they say, but it was awesome to just mix it up and I feel like the show also was taking a little bit more of an adult turn then. Troian and I did a lot of like suggested nudity that I had never really done.’

Bellisario added: ‘A lot of fans got upset about it, but I still feel like some of the scenes that came out of it — like that scene between me, Ashley, and Tyler, I think it’s one of my favorite scenes. I think it was just wonderful material and it was so exciting to open up those sides of our characters.’

King also revealed precisely how the mothers escaped the locked basement during one key scene.

‘There’s a reason why Pam never drank after that,’ the showrunner explained.

‘We decided they drew straws and Pam got the short straw, so she had to take off her clothes and they greased her up with some car oil they found, and she shimmied down some pipe and then let them out.’

And while Shay Mitchell, Ashley Benson, Sasha Pieterse Sheaffer, and Janel Parrish Long were all apart of the reunion, Keegan Allen could not join since he was ‘in the middle of the mountains.’

Movie or not, six of the castmembers have a permanent reminder of the mystery thriller on their ‘Shhh’ fingers, which they got tattooed with their characters’ first initials back in 2016.
