At the press conference for the show, it was announced that PLL has been renewed for a second season on ABC Family. Mitchell also spoke to the press about how honored she is to represent gay teens in a positive light, now that her character Emily has come out to her parents in the premiere episode. Mitchell said:

“If I can represent the gay community in a small way then I’m so honored and I couldn’t be more proud to do that.” She also says she has received an incredible response from fans, boys and girls, all over the world thanks to Twitter saying Emily coming out to her parents in the premiere has inspired them.

Pretty Little Liars is ready to come back with more spooky surprises and more juicy mysteries with the winter premiere of episode 1.11 “Moments Later.”

Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer and those around them, must deal with the aftermath of what happened in Rosewood, PA one mysterious night, in “Moments Later,”.

Moments after Hanna is hit by a car, the girls’ world is turned upside down. “A” is no longer content to playing a game of cat and mouse – it has taken a far more precarious turn and now more than ever the four Pretty Little Liars have to turn to each other for support. With Hanna in the hospital and armed with the information of who “A” is, the girls are backtracking to figure out how they got to this point. How could this person know everything and want to use it against them?

Meanwhile, each girl has to also deal with a secret that is either found out, confessed or confronted – proving that secrets are still abound in Rosewood, PA.

Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Troian Avery Bellisario and Shay Mitchell bring it all back to ABC Family on Monday, January 3rd at 8PM.

Who is ‘A’ is still a mystery but we are (finally!) getting close to the second season premiere of Pretty Little Liars and when we learn more about the elusive and devilish ‘A.’  PLL returns on January 3rd, 2011 with new twists and a few new characters (including a guest appearance by Lindsey Shaw!)

For now, ABC Family television has released new promotional photos of the cast and the individual girls: Lucy Hale as Aria, Troian Avery Bellisario as Spencer, Ashley Benson as Hanna and Shay Mitchell as Emily.

Pretty Little Liars returns on January 3rd and there are a number of new characters added to the cast, including my personal favorite: Lindsey Shaw. Shaw, formerly of 10 Things I Hate About You and Ned’s Declassified is terrific and I look forward to her (as of now) 2 episode arc that begins in February. Shaw’s character Paige will go head to head to with Emily (Mitchell) as her rival for swim team glory.

Here is the official press release for the return of the show:

The mystery and ominous messages continue for best friends Emily Fields, Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin and Aria Montgomery in the mid-season return of ABC Family’s hit series “Pretty Little Liars.” No longer just threatening to reveal secrets, the all-knowing “A” has stepped up the game and nothing is off limits in the second half of the first season. And while they work hard to protect what they know, the four girls are also on the hunt to learn the truth about what happened to Alison the night she disappeared. But when those truths start to come out, will the Liars be prepared for what they must face when new secrets are revealed? “Pretty Little Liars” returns with all-new episodes on Monday, January 3, 8:00PM–9:00PM ET/PT.

Shaw joins the show regulars Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell, Troian Avery Bellisario and Ian Harding as well as the just added Tyler Blackburn and Alona Tal – characters who are created just for the show and never in the original books.

This season sounds great! Can’t wait for it.

Although Pretty Little Liars is on a break until January 2011, there is no shortage of people who want the cast to give up the mysterious “A’s” identity. The actresses of PLL are getting bombarded by everyone for the answer; friends, family and other celebs are grilling the girls:

“All my friends will call me to ask who ‘A’ is and I’m like, ‘No, you can watch it!’” bemoans Ashley Benson, who plays Hanna Marin, heir to the cool girl throne after her friend (and now, possibly “A”) Allison dies.

She’s not alone in having to keep people in the dark: “My family is like, ‘OK, Shay, whatever. I thought we were family!’” says Shay Mitchell, cast as the athletic, sweet-natured Emily Fields.

It’s gotten to the point where people have taken to Twitter to try to figure out just who is leaving this foursome of girls threatening messages. Says Lucy Hale, who plays the mature-beyond-her-years Aria Montgomery. “I have Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family tweeting– he’s like, “Just tell me, please!’”

The series is currently in production for the January return. Twelve new episodes are lined up to answer some of the mysteries and leave us with tons of new ones. More Nylon magazine outtakes below:

Pretty Little Liars is working the magic of who the mysterious “A” is. The cast seems to be in the dark too but they do have fun guessing, speculating and commenting on rumors they’ve heard. Stars Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale, Troian Avery Bellisario and Shay Mitchell all ponder who it is who is messing with them. Check the clip above from MTV.

Don’t forget the summer/mid season finale: Episode 10 “Keep Your Friends Close” airs on ABC Family Tuesday August 10th at 8pm ET/PT. Here is the synopsis:

When the discovery of a new piece of evidence about Alison’s disappearance brings the FBI to town, the last thing the girls want to do is go “glamping” (glam camping) for Mona’s birthday party. But when they get a text that insinuates that “A” will be at the party, Spencer gets the idea that it will be their chance to finally put an end to the threats. Once at Camp Mona, not even the mani/pedi station can lift the girls’ spirits when the evening takes a dangerous turn.

Meanwhile, the Marin financial situation is pushing Ashley to the brink.

Check out the preview clip below.
