"If At First You Don't Succeed, Lie..."
— 01/31/11

Check out the new trailer for season three of the hit ABC drama, Pretty Little Liars!

In the clip, Aria (Lucy Hale), Emily (Shay Mitchell), Hanna (Ashley Benson), and Spencer (Troian Bellisario) have reunited after spending the summer apart doing their own thing. With post-traumatic stress from finding out Mona (Janel Parrish) was “A” and Maya’s (Bianca Lawson) death, the four Liars are anything but fine when Emily starts receiving mysterious text messages again.

Season three premieres Tuesday, June 5th @ 8PM ET/PT, after an all day marathon, on ABC Family.

ARE YOU EXCITED for the return of Pretty Little Liars?

Wait a second—are you trying to tell us we haven’t shaken off A for good? Well, if the just-released trailer for the third season of “Pretty Little Liars” divulges anything, it’s just that.

Despite the revelation that Mona was the creepster behind all those menacing messages, the texts are back and they are as ominous as ever. And it goes without saying that the four liars aren’t getting any breaks. In fact, A has this message for the ladies: “Game on!” (To be fair, Mona did warn them that there is an A team, so we sort of figured we hadn’t seen the last of her/him/them/whatever.)

But game on indeed! With Mona in an institution, Garrett in jail and the ladies cavorting around town like everything will go back to normal, the girls quickly realize they won’t. “I bet you remember me,” A”says in a text, and from there things begin to crumble. Aria ends up locked in a bathroom stall screaming for her life and the girls are once again digging for clues out in the woods of Rosewood.

Just when fans thought they had answers, a whole new slew of questions are raised. Garrett drops an especially juicy tidbit telling Spencer, “There’s a lot you don’t know.”

We’re sure when season three kicks off on June 5 there will be a lot we find out, but there will be even more we’ll be wondering about. And we wouldn’t want it any other way.

There is less than a month until the season three premiere of Pretty Little Liars!

I’m going to miss playing Queen Bee Mona,” Janel Parrish, who plays the A-minion, told Huffington Post. “I hope there are flashbacks in which I can do all of the above [Nerdy Mona and Crazy Mona], especially the Dorky Mona scenes. I love them so much.”

Janel adds, “They’re so much fun and insightful. It just shows everyone’s back story and why they are the way that they are and everything. So I’m hoping for more flashbacks. I think they’re important to the show. But I am looking forward to playing Crazy Mona. It’s a new type of part for me. So it was a challenge and it was very, very fun.”

Pictured below: Troian Bellisario (Spencer Hastings), Ashley Benson (Hanna Marin), Shay Mitchell (Emily Fields) Lucy Hale (Aria Montgomery), Janel Parrish (Mona Vanderwall), Sasha Pieterse (Alison DiLaurentis), Keegan Allen (Toby Cavanaugh), Julian Morris (Dr. Wren Kingston), Yani Gellman (Officer Garrett Reynolds), Ian Harding (Ezra Fitz), Drew Van Acker (Jason DiLaurentis), Brendan Robinson (Lucas Gottesman), Tyler Blackburn (Caleb Rivers) and Brant Daugherty (Noel Khan).

In the upcoming episode “It Happened That Night,” A summer has passed since Aria (Lucy Hale), Emily (Shay Mitchell), Hanna (Benson) and Spencer (Troian Bellisario) found out about Mona (Janel Parrish) being “A” and Maya’s (Bianca Lawson) death. With the terror seemingly over and an alleged murderer now behind bars, the town of Rosewood is slowly healing from old and new wounds and trying to get back to normalcy.

Each of the four girls spent their summer in different ways – Aria taking a photography class, Spencer taking college courses at Hollis, Hanna taking cooking classes with Caleb (Blackburn) and Emily building houses in Haiti.

But what looks normal for each girl is not necessarily so, as all four are hardly over what happened. With post-traumatic stress, anger and the acquisition of more secrets the four Liars are anything but fine. Now all back together and coming upon the second anniversary of Alison’s (Sasha Pieterse) disappearance, the girls find themselves back on the defensive when a shocking event rocks Rosewood.

Rosewood’s city limits are so close, we can almost make out its twinkling lights through our windshield.

ABC Family’s “Pretty Little Liars” returns June 5, picking up after the unmAsking of Mona as the town’s terrible, terrorizing texter, and bringing with it a whole new set of struggles for our favorite fab foursome. The network has released a fresh batch of images from the premiere episode, titled “It Happened That Night,” along with a synopsis of the upcoming third season, which leave us with more questions than answers.

Keep reading after the jump to find out what’s in store for the Liars!

So Maya really is dead but her death isn’t the drama that will ensnare the Liars? INTERESTING. Also of note is this image of Lucas with a mystery girl. Could this girl be the key to season three’s mysterious happenings? It’s all just so INTRIGUING.

Clearly, we’ll be tuning in June 5 to get answers. Or, at least, be deluded enough to think we’ll get answers.

Troian Bellisario, Lucy Hale and Shay Mitchell pretty up the 2012 ABC Family Upfront Presentation held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Monday afternoon (March 19) in New York City.

Just before the luncheon, the Pretty Little Liars starlets chatted it up with Lara Spencer on Good Morning America about the spring finale of their hit show.

The girls revealed four clues about the identity of “A” — but was it who you suspected?

Troian modeled off Tibi for both appearances, while Lucy stunned in a Rebecca Minkoff suit at the upfronts.

Shay switched from a Tanja Pignatelli blazer, Lisa Ho blouse and Tory Burch bag to a Lela Rose dress with Giuseppe Zanotti heels for the luncheon.

After two delicious seasons of dead ends, red herrings and enough indecipherable clues to send Nancy Drew into early retirement, mysterious texter A was finally “unmAsked” on last night’s episode of “Pretty Little Liars.” Or was she?

As you’ll recall from last week, Officer Garrett was arrested for Ali’s murder after Jenna turned in the notorious page five she’d been “safe keeping.” Oh, and did we mention she can see now? It looks as though Jenna’s eye surgery was a success, but she’s keeping that secret between herself and another mysterious party.

The liars got a delivery—four calligraphy-ed invitations to the Junior Society Masquerade Ball (at least A would be benefiting charity when she murders one of them?). Melissa walked in with a big, smug smile on her face, practically singing “I told you so” following the news of Garrett’s arrest and Ian’s now-presumed innocence. But her cavalier attitude made her appear even more guilty of being A. (Because we know the only person in Rosewoood smart enough to fool Spencer is Melissa, right Hanna?)

Seeking some privacy to hatch out their Masquerade plan, the girls retreated to Ezra’s old apartment, which had been vacated after the teacher’s unfortunate firing. Following a dream (or was it?!) in which Ali instructed Spencer to take another look at her bag of possessions, Spence once again searched the duffel for clues. She discovered a pen from Dougherty’s Landing and information about a Lost Woods Resort near by, leading the liars to take a road trip…

…to the Bates Motel, apparently. Run-down and managed by a creepy fellow who looks like he stores cat livers in jars just for fun, the “resort” supposedly never played host to Vivian Darkbloom (at least that’s what Creepy McCreepster said), but the girls checked into Room One anyway. Once he turned in for the night, Spencer and Aria sneaked into the office to check the registry while Emily and Hanna waited in the room. Or at least Hanna did because Emily got a phone call from Maya and went outside to get better reception, which left a showering Hanna susceptible to the hooded figure who tip-toed into the room. But no harm was done as the John/Jane Doe retreated when a phone rang. Team Sparia uncovered the logbook, which revealed Ali had stayed in the room twice—once on the morning before she disappeared and once when she was supposed to be meeting A in Brookhaven. Little did the liars know that throughout their stay at Lost Woods, a peeping Tom watched through a small hole in adjacent Room Two.

Sans dates but in magnificent costumes, the girls all headed to the Masquerade Ball, where they had a midnight drop-dead date. Literally. A warned that one of them would be in a body bag at 12 p.m. if his/her cell phone was not returned. The liars (rather unwisely, if you ask me) decided to split up to cover more ground at the dance. One by one they ran into their loves: Ezra materialized to sweep Aria off her feet and Caleb ditched his mom to hang with Hanna while Paige tracked down Emily to let her know she’d always be there for her. All of which left Spencer alone to go with Mona back to the Lost Woods Resort to investigate (she finally had an epiphany about Room Two).

When Spencer and Mona broke into the room, they made a scary discovery: It was A’s command center. Photos and newspaper clippings hung on the walls, with spare doll parts and other odds and ends strewn about the floor. The two also stumbled upon the mock-up for A’s masquerade costume: a black swan. Mona told Spencer she’d call and tell Hanna to look out for a feathered lady, but of course she didn’t because she’s A! Yep, Spencer realized a bit too late, as Mona/A knocked her out and dragged her into the car for a joyride…of death. Spencer finally came to, just in time to silently receive a call from Aria. Mona explained her motives (she wanted revenge for the liars taking her friend Hanna away) and threatened Spencer, telling her she either had to join the A Team or die—all while the liars overheard every dastardly second.

The liars hurried toward Look Out Pass to intercept Mona and Spencer—and just in time because Mona had a gun and she was willing to use it. A tussle ensued, sending Mona flying over a cliff. But she’s okay! Don’t worry! She’ll be spending the better part of her teen years in a psychiatric ward. And, look! Dr. Sullivan’s back too. She had been randomly corresponding with Toby. (Does anyone else understand this turn of events? And more importantly, can you explain it to me?) Turns out, A had been threatening Dr. Sullivan’s son, and instead of, oh, I don’t know, going to the police like any rational adult, she fled. No matter! Spencer and Toby had a lip-locky reunion and everything seemed right with the world for about two minutes. This being Rosewood, the story’s far from over.

To wit, when the girls returned home, they were welcomed by another grisly discovery: a body. Maya’s body. Poor, Emily. And back in psychiatric lock-down, Mona had a visitor (accomplice?). “I did everything you asked me to,” Mona told the mystery guest.

It wasn’t over. It still isn’t over.

What did you think of “Pretty Little Liars”‘ grand A reveal? Too expected or was it a shock? Who do you think is working with Mona (she clearly isn’t working alone)? Do you think Officer Garrett really killed Ali? And what role does Melissa play in all of this? So many questions to ponder until season three debuts this summer!
