We last left Pretty Little Liars right after ~ALL~ was revealed, and viewers and Liars alike found out who A really was. Unfortunately, we were also left with yet another huge cliffhanger. In the final moments of the midseason finale, the post-time jump Liars run into Alison’s classroom, warning her that “he’s coming.” Who is he? The Liars and show creator I. Marlene King revealed a little more on the newest villain in Rosewood and what to expect from season 6B.
Although the girls were A’s dolls throughout the previous seasons, Ashley reveals that this new A isn’t just playing around anymore. Instead of messing with the girls and their minds, this new stalker truly is threatening them.
Lucy Hale also believes this A is not one to play around. “It’s smarter and edgier and deadlier,” she said of the upcoming season. “The stakes are definitely a lot higher. It’s not ‘I’m going to expose your secrets.’ It’s ‘I’m going to kill you if you don’t give me what I want.’”
Marlene King revealed that this threat is so big because yet another body turns up, but this time it’s not one close to the Liars. Instead, the dead body has a connection with this new killer, who “has an agenda, and it’s to find out why this person passes away—and to seek revenge on the person responsible,” Marlene revealed. “And it will not stop until that person pays, and [the Big Bad] will kill people to get that answer.”
We can’t wait to see how this new villain plays into the ‘A’ game when Pretty Little Liars returns on January 12.
