Production begins on PLL: The Perfectionists starring Sofia Carson

'Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists' starring Sofia Carson has started production.

Show creator, Marlene King, broke the news on Twitter in the early hours of today (October 17).

She tweeted: "Last sleep before we start production on #PLLThePerfectionists.

"I could not be more excited to continue this journey with our PLL fans. Thank u @sarabooks for creating this world for us to play in. ❤️"

Carson, who plays Ava Jalali, retweeted and replied: "thank you mar for allowing me to a part of this world. here we go🖤 @PLLTVSeries @sarabooks @imarleneking"

Carson's character is a beautiful trendsetting blogger and coder, who strives to be a fashion icon. She joins Pretty Little Liars stars Sasha Pieterse and Janel Parrish in the spinoff pilot.  

As previously reported 10 episodes of the first season of Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists are expected to debut on Freeform in 2019.

Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists is based on the popular book series “The Perfectionists,” written by Sara Shepard, who also penned the No. 1 New York Times bestselling book series “Pretty Little Liars.”

Everything about the town of Beacon Heights seems perfect, from their top-tier college to their overachieving residents, but nothing in Beacon Heights is as it appears to be. The stress of needing to be perfect leads to the town’s first murder. Behind every Perfectionist is a secret, a lie and a needed alibi.

Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists is produced by Alloy Entertainment and Long Lake Media in association with Warner Horizon Scripted Television.

I. Marlene King (Pretty Little Liars, Famous in Love) wrote the pilot and serves as executive producer with Charlie Craig (Pretty Little Liars, The 100), Leslie Morgenstein (Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries) and Gina Girolamo (The 100, The Originals).
