The seventh season had nine roles receiving star billing, with eight of them returning from the previous season, six of which was part of the original cast from the first season. The season saw the four protagonists of the series continue the roles as they try to take down the new 'A'. Troian Bellisario played Spencer Hastings, who has relationship problems with Caleb, while Ashley Benson played Hanna Marin, who was kidnapped at the end of last season. Lucy Hale continued her role as Aria Montgomery as she is set in a love triangle with Ezra and her boyfriend Liam. Shay Mitchell portrayed Emily Fields who begins to rekindle her relationship with Alison. Sasha Pieterse continued to portray Alison DiLaurentis as Alison struggles with being in a psych-ward. Janel Parrish returned as Mona Vanderwaal who seems to be finally on their side. Tyler Blackburn continues to play Caleb Rivers and Ian Harding also continued his role as Ezra Fitz. Andrea Parker was added as a series regular, playing Jessica DiLaurentis' twin sister Mary Drake.
After the sixth season finale, it was announced that Andrea Parker would return to the show as Mary Drake, Jessica DiLaurentis' identical twin sister and biological mother to Charlotte DiLaurentis.[20] TVLine later confirmed that Parker was added as a series regular for the upcoming season.[21] Deadline reported on May 10, 2016, that actor Nicholas Gonzalez was cast as Detective Vic Furey, a character who will oversee the Rosewood Police Department.[22] The character was later renamed Det. Marco Furey.[9] Tammin Sursok announced that she will return to the show as Jenna Marshall after last appearing in the fifth season episode "How the 'A' Stole Christmas".[8] On June 2, 2016, Variety reported that Brant Daugherty would be returning as Noel Kahn; Brant has not appeared on the show since the beginning of the fifth season.[17] On June 10, 2016, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Lindsey Shaw would be returning as Paige McCullers after leaving in the fifth season mid-season premiere.[18] The actress playing Sydney Driscoll, Chloe Bridges, posted an image on social media, confirming that she will return to the show after last appearing in the Christmas special episode.[23]
Production
The seventh season was ordered with the sixth season on June 10, 2014, right before the fifth season premiere aired, which made Pretty Little Liars ABC Family's longest running original series, surpassing The Secret Life of the American Teenager, which was ABC Family's previous longest running original series.[1] The season will consist of 20 episodes, in which ten episodes will air in the summer of 2016, with the remaining ten episodes airing in the winter of 2017.[2][3] Charlie Craig, who served as writer/consulting producer on the second season, will return for the seventh season as executive producer/co-showrunner.[24] Production began on February 1, 2016, when King announced on Twitter that the writers were in full swing brainstorming and mapping the seventh season.[25][26] Production and filming began in the end of March 2016.[5] I. Marlene King revealed the title of the premiere "Tick-Tock, Bitches" on Twitter.[7] Variety announced that season premiere would air on June 21, 2016, the latest for a season premiere in the show's history.[27] Additionally, series star Troian Bellisario will make her directorial debut this season. Bellisario is set to direct the fifteenth episode of the season.[28][29] A promo was released on May 12, 2016.[30] Freeform released a promotional poster for the season, on June 7, 2016.[31]
Final season speculation
The seventh season has been speculated by both fans and the cast and crew of the show to being the final season of Pretty Little Liars ever since the show was renewed for two additional seasons.[1] In an interview with BuzzFeed, Troian Bellisario said “This is the beginning of the end. But the best part about these last two years is that, because it’s the beginning of the end, we can actually start telling the story I think we’ve been waiting to tell for a long time."[3] Regarding the show's ending, Lucy Hale said to E! News that "Seven seasons will definitely end the show."[32][33] Showrunner I. Marlene King commented on these rumors to TVLine as she said "We have enough story to take us to the end of Season 7, and we’re going to let the fans tell us if they’re ready to say goodbye to this world and these characters."[34] She confirmed to being open for an eighth season and a movie and a new book.[35]
In an interview with Variety regarding the five-year time-jump, King said "I think that this story when we’re back will end next year at the end of Season 7". She later took to Twitter where she confirmed that the current storyline that began in the second half of the sixth season would end after the seventh season, but would not necessarily mean that the show would end after the seventh season.[36][37] Hale said on The Late Late Show with James Corden that the show was ending after the seventh season.[38] Bellisario's fiancé Patrick J. Adams said in June 2016, that the show was ending this year, as the couple has decided to get married after the show ends.[39] Freeform gave out a statement not long after saying that "There has been no official decision made for PLL beyond a season 7."[40]
