Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin is premiering in the US on HBO Max this week, starting on 28th July 2022. However, unfortunately for UK fans there isn’t yet a release date or platform confirmed to host the series yet.
We’re sure a release date will surface in due course, possibly on Sky and NOW as they often host HBO Max original series. For now, UK fans will just have to wait patiently until we get further news. We’ll make sure to update this page as soon as anything regarding a UK release date is revealed.

This new series, the latest in the Pretty Little Liars franchise, is set in the same universe as the original but is otherwise only loosely related. The official synopsis for the series says: “We find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe — in a brand-new town, with a new generation of Little Liars.”
It describes the plot as such: “Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in present day, a disparate group of teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin committed by their parents two decades ago…as well as their own.”
The creators of the show have also been hyping up its horror aspect, saying in a statement: “We’re leaning into the suspense and horror in this reboot, which hopefully will honour what the fans loved about the hit series, while weaving in new, unexpected elements.”
