'Pretty Little Liars' Spin-Off Gets Canceled After Just One Season

It is no secret that the show, Pretty Little Liars is a massive franchise in itself that continues to achieve immense popularity and spawn one spin-off series after the other. On that note, the franchise had its third spin-off series, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists aired earlier this year.

The series aired just one season, which ran for 10 episodes beginning in March of this year. The spin-off stars Sasha Pieterse and Janel Parrish reprising their roles. It was based on the novel The Perfectionists, written by Sara Shepard, who also wrote the book on which Pretty Little Liars is based. The series also starred Sofia Carson, Sydney Park, Eli Brown, Graeme Thomas King, and Kelly Rutherford.

Pretty Little Liars creator and showrunner I. Marlene King wrote the pilot and served as executive producer with Lisa Cochran-Neilan, Leslie Morgenstein, Charlie Craig, and Gina Girolamo. Alloy Entertainment and Long Lake Media produced in association with Warner Horizon Scripted Television. Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum directed the pilot.

However, coming in as a shock to many, the show has now been canceled after just one season. The show was received with critical acclaim but that didn't transpire into good viewership.

The Perfectionists had been in development since 2014 while the mothership series was still on the air. “Pretty Little Liars,” meanwhile, wrapped up in 2017 after seven seasons on Freeform, ultimately airing 160 episodes.
