After nine months since HBO Max has granted a straight-to-series order to Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, it looks like series creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has finally found their first leads for the upcoming reboot of the popular teen mystery drama. HBO Max has announced that Chandler Kinney (Zombies 2) and Maia Reficco (Kally’s Mashup) have been tapped for the leading roles of Tabby and Noa. In addition, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina director Lisa Soper is reuniting with Aguirre-Sacasa to helm the first two episodes of the new Pretty Little Liars reboot.

Kinney’s Tabby is being described as an aspiring director and horror movie buff. Like the other Little Liars, Tabby’s hiding a secret. Meanwhile, Reficco’s Noa is a striving, sardonic track star who’s working hard to get her life back to normal after a summer spent in juvenile detention.

Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in the present day, a group of disparate teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago…as well as their own. In the dark, coming-of-RAGE, horror-tinged drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, 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.
