From 2010 to 2017, Pretty Little Liars turned a missing queen bee into must-watch mayhem, as Spencer, Emily, Hanna and Aria were hunted in the wake of Alison DiLaurentis’s disappearance. That’s when the real trouble began.

Pretty Little Liars ran from 2010 to 2017, and if you were there, you remember the weekly chaos: secrets, texts, masks, and an anonymous tormentor who somehow had better Wi-Fi than the rest of us. It was a teen thriller soap that went big on twists and never apologized for it.

The setup (quick and dirty)

Alison DiLaurentis disappears, her best friends spiral, and an unknown bully calling themselves "A" starts threatening to air out their worst secrets. The show, based on Sara Shepard's books, chucks the girls into one mess after another: murders, blackmail, exes with baggage, sometimes all in the same episode. Subtle? Absolutely not. Entertaining? Constantly.

Who we followed

  • Spencer Hastings — Troian Bellisario
  • Emily Fields — Shay Mitchell
  • Hanna Marin — Ashley Benson
  • Aria Montgomery — Lucy Hale
  • Alison DiLaurentis — Sasha Pieterse
  • Mona Vanderwaal (the ultimate frenemy) — Janel Parrish

Life after Rosewood

When the series wrapped, a bunch of the cast kept the momentum going onscreen while also leveling up personally. Sasha Pieterse, Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, and Janel Parrish have all gotten married. And here is a very on-brand twist: three of the four core Liars are now moms. So, yes, the fictional town of Rosewood put them through it, but real life has been busy too.
