Pretty Little Liars.

pretty little liars adds 12 episodes

ABC Family has ordered 12 additional episodes of the network’s hit one-hour series, “Pretty Little Liars,” announced Kate Juergens, Executive Vice President, Original Programming & Development. The order will bring the show’s first season to a total of 22 episodes.

“‘Pretty Little Liars’ is a break-out hit for the network,” said Juergens. “We’re thrilled that our Millennial viewers have responded so strongly to the show. It’s a perfect fit with the network’s strong slate of original scripted dramas, including ‘The Secret Life of the American Teenager’ and ‘Make It or Break It.’”

Lucy Hale: Reality Bites



Lucy Hale shares an intense stare with Ian Harding as he performs a reading on stage in this new still from Pretty Little Liars.

In next week’s episode “Reality Bites Me,” Trying to ignore “A” backfired for the girls and now they must pay the penalty. Whether it is a family in crisis, parental praise for an undeserved honor looming over their head or wearing totally unfashionable scrubs while working off a debt – the girls must deal with it all. And on top of that “A”’s lipstick message is still haunting them.

The girls must also deal with typical teenage drama – the boy kind – when a new boy arrives and pushes the status quo, a secret love is tested, a new romance blooms and an old romance is floating in the grey area.

“Reality Bites Me” premieres NEXT Tuesday, July 6 @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC Family.
