Lucy Hale Confesses Where She Stands With the Original Pretty Little Liars Cast
It’s no secret: Lucy Hale wants a Pretty Little Liars reunion.
In fact, the actress would “absolutely” do it if Andy Cohen was there to host.
“In a heartbeat,” Lucy exclusively told E! News during the opening night of Diane Von Furstenberg: Woman In Charge at Tribeca Film Festival, adding of PLL, “Being far removed from it now, I almost appreciate it more.”
The 34-year-old—who starred alongside Shay Mitchell, Ashley Benson, Troian Bellisario and Sasha Pieterse through the teen drama’s seven-season run from 2010 to 2017—noted that she’d love it if the get-together was done in the style of Real Housewives of Rosewood. As she jokingly noted, “I think that would be really fun.”
For now, Lucy will just have to rely on texts and phone calls to catch up with her former castmates.
“We chat,” the Katy Keene star shared. “It’s really amazing to see how everyone has blossomed in their own way, and I will love every single person involved with that experience forever.” (For Lucy’s complete interview, tune into E! News tonight, June 6, at 11 p.m.)
Likewise, her former costar Shay has continued to check in on her fellow Liars—especially now that many of them are moms like herself.

“We shared our 20s together and that was a whole other vibe, but being able to see them as mothers together is just everything I knew they were gonna be and more,” the Dollface alum—who shares daughters Atlas, 4, and Rome, 2, with boyfriend Matte Babel—told E! last month. “They’re exceptional mothers.”
“I had to talk to Ash,” she added. “I get photo updates. It’s wild. I always knew she was going to be such an incredible mother, as with Troian, too.”
