If you're a fan of "Pretty Little Liars," you know that each text from "A," the series' anonymous tormentor, is enough to put one on edge. But in the spinoff series "Original Sin," there's a whole new level of fear with each cryptic message.
The HBO Max series, which concluded its first season last week, introduces a whole new friend group in a different town with their own A — one who is out for blood. "Original Sin," adding to the franchise based on Sara Shepard's young adult novels, leans into the slasher genre, standing out from the original series and its two previous spinoffs, "Ravenswood" and "Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists."
In the new series, five high-school girls — Imogen Adams (Bailee Madison), Tabby Haworthe (Chandler Kinney), Faran Bryant (Zaria), Minnie "Mouse" Honrada (Malia Pyles) and Noa Olivar (Maia Reficco) — bond after A's torments land them in detention and spark the beginning of A's revenge for their mothers' past offenses. Slowly, the girls uncover the truth about their mothers and the other kids at their school.
