ABC Family has picked up one of its top series, Pretty Little Liars, for a third season, which is slated to launch next summer. The size of the order is a whopping 24 episodes, which rivals those for broadcast drama series. It matches the mystery series’ sophomore-season order, which was consequently upped to 25 episodes with a Halloween special that aired last month. Pretty Little Liars, from Warner Horizon and Alloy, returns for the second part of its second season on Monday, January 2. The series, which broke ABC Family ratings records in several young demos when it premiered last year, has become one of the network’s top three shows, or as ABC Family’s president Michael Riley calls them, ABC Family’s “triple-threat”: Switched At Birth, The Secret Life Of The American Teenager and Pretty Little Liars.

YES!!! FINALLY!!!
I mean we all pretty much expected this right?? Still, it’s nice to have confirmation about it. SO Excited!
Love me some PLL!! Woohoo!!
Little bitch TV, I love it!!!!
One of the only series I won’t let my family watch…
I don’t care if my kids see other kids getting eaten alive by dinosaurs on Terra Nova or criminals hacked to death by Dexter, but there’s no way on God’s green earth I’m gonna let them watch some rich brat pop morning-after pills like they’re Nerds while masturbating with other girls.
So you prefer abstinence-only sex education and sending your kids to a private school? Talk about touchy…
Actually, I do.
Dear “I’ll Give Ya the Belt”,
I think you were hit in the head with a belt too many times during childhood. I don’t know what TV show you are referring to, but it is most assuredly not Pretty Little Liars. While I wouldn’t let a young child watch PLL, I sure wouldn’t have an issue with teenagers watching it. Compared to Glee and some other “teen” shows, PLL is quite tame. You should really know what you are posting about before wasting your time and mine!
Failed attempt at trolling. TRY HARDER. I feel sorry for your kids, honestly.
This is a definite no-brainer for ABC Family, but still it’s nice to get confirmation – especially since I think the second season is still in production.
I am unsure what series you think shows girls masterbating and popping morning after pills because I have seen every episode of PLL and nothing even remotely close to that was ever even hinted at.
I was wondering the same thing. Unless she is referring to the book? I never read the book, but the series is SOOO GOOD!!!
Thanks, cs. I thought it was just me… or maybe I had missed a few episodes. BTW: The writing and acting on this show is phenomenal.
Just wait for the hard R version.
Those girls get nasty.
I knew it! Cuz they’re bringing on Lachlan Buchanan on for season 3, according to twitter. I hope something is reveled in S3
Yeah wat series is it there masturbating and popping pills cause I’ve seen every single episodes of pretty little liars more than once and nothin like that has every happen Ed ur confused sweet heart!!!
I’ve been watching this show since it first started, they only refer to sex a couple times and never once have “masturbated” together. And NONE of the girls had ever taken a morning after pill.
Get your facts straight. Or perhaps read the info about the show?
we watched a few clips of the show during a church pray-a-thon.
it was eye opening.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaas:) soo excited I’m so bored cause of mid season:( Ezra&Wren;)<3
Honestly pll is the best series i’ve watched so far…it’s way too awesome
So there is going to be a third season
