Marlene King drops the bombshell on Tuesday’s Halloween special
When ABC Family renewed Pretty Little Liars for two more seasons back in June, there were questions over how long the series’ mystery surrounding the identity of “A” could realistically last. Now fans won’t have to worry.
Executive producer Marlene King used Tuesday’s Halloween fan special, “We Love You to DeAth,” to reassure the fandom that the big reveal would come well before season seven, which will likely begin in summer 2016.
“I think fans got a little worried when they found out that we were going seven seasons, because they thought maybe they’re going to have to wait that long to find out who ‘A’ is, but I am promising you that you don’t,” she said. “The identity of Big ‘A’ is going to be revealed before season seven starts.”
Say what? 😀
Over the course of five seasons, there have been numerous “A” reveals that have served as major misdirects or detours from the overarching mystery, from Team “A” and Ezra to Toby and Mona, just to name a few. Hopefully, King’s promise of an uber-“A” reveal will stick.
What about you, folks? What are your thoughts about King’s scoop? Hit the comments below to let us know! 🙂
Pretty Little Liars, on a season-five hiatus, returns on Dec. 9 for the Christmas episode.

I won’t believe it until the end credits of the series finale begin to roll. This show refuses to provide answers anywhere near this magnitude and whenever they offer a reveal of any consequence, it’s almost always walked back. I just hope that however they choose to reveal A’s identity, it’s well-executed and worth the countless stall tactics they’ve implemented that’ve gotten us to this point.
That being said, I think it would be cool if they revealed it to the audience before the girls find out. And maybe followed A/the A team in addition to the four main girls for the duration of the final season. At least leading up to Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer finding out who Uber A really is.
