Madison is set to star opposite Chandler Kinney and Maia Reficco, who have already been cast in lead roles, in the present-day iteration of the extremely popular television series that ran from 2010-17. Riverdale and Chilling Adventure of Sabrina creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, along with Lindsay Calhoon Bring, are behind the newest series. The project is described as a dark, coming-of-age reboot featuring a brand-new story with all new characters.
Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in the present day, a group of disparate teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago…as well as their own. In the dark, coming-of-RAGE, horror-tinged drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe — in a brand new town, with a new generation of Little Liars.
