‘Pretty Little Liars’ First Look: Five Years After ‘A’

On Tuesday’s Pretty Little Liars finale, fans will finally learn the truth about ‘A’. But ABC Family has also released a first look at the Liars five years later.

Lucy Hale also recently revealed that Aria will have a new beau when the show returns, while Emily just looks like a more polished version of her former self. [EW]
