From BÉIS billions to writer-director pivots and a long-awaited return to Rosewood, here is exactly where the cast of Pretty Little Liars is right now.
Updated for 2026. Nearly a decade after Pretty Little Liars wrapped its seven-season run on Freeform, the Liars are still very much living their lives in the spotlight — just on their own terms. From red-carpet returns and indie passion projects to motherhood, beauty empires, and a few quiet pivots away from Hollywood altogether, here is exactly where the cast of Rosewood's most famous five (and their leading men) are right now.
Lucy Hale (Aria Montgomery) has spent the years after PLL building a genuinely versatile résumé — leading the Riverdale spinoff Katy Keene, headlining holiday rom-coms, and starring opposite Kathryn Hahn in the buzzy thriller Which Brings Me to You. Heading into 2026, Hale is balancing producing credits with a noticeably more grown-up roster of projects and remains one of the franchise's most active red-carpet alumni. She has also been vocal about her sobriety journey, becoming an unexpected role model for the Gen-Z fans who first met her as Aria.
Troian Bellisario (Spencer Hastings) has leaned hard into the writer-director chair since the show ended. After welcoming her second daughter with husband Patrick J. Adams in 2021, she co-created and starred in indie features like Doula and the limited series Where the Wild Ladies Are. In 2025 she stepped behind the camera again for a half-hour drama pilot, signaling that her future is less about being on call sheets and more about controlling them. Spencer would absolutely approve.
Ashley Benson (Hanna Marin) is officially in her mom era. Benson welcomed her first child with husband Brandon Davis in early 2024 and has used the slower stretch to grow her cocktail brand and lifestyle ventures, while still popping up in films like Spin Me Round and the noir thriller Alone at Night. Her 2025 return to the genre that made her famous — a sleek horror project shot quietly in Atlanta — is exactly the kind of half-step back to TV fans have been waiting for.
Shay Mitchell (Emily Fields) has arguably built the biggest off-screen business of any cast member. Her travel and luggage brand BÉIS is now a nine-figure direct-to-consumer powerhouse, while her tequila brand Onda continues to expand its retail footprint. Mitchell still acts — most recently in Hulu's The Path Keepers and a recurring arc on a major Peacock drama in 2025 — but she has firmly positioned herself as a founder-first creative. She is also a mom of two.
Sasha Pieterse (Alison DiLaurentis) reprised Alison for Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin and Summer School, giving longtime fans the bridge between the original series and the HBO Max reboot they had been begging for. Off screen, Pieterse is a mom of two, has been open about her PCOS diagnosis and advocacy, and has narrated several romance audiobooks. In 2026 she is set to lead a YA mystery feature — fitting, considering she has been holding secrets for the franchise since 2010.
Janel Parrish (Mona Vanderwaal) went straight from PLL into its short-lived spinoff The Perfectionists, then pivoted to broadcast as a fan-favorite recurring face on To All the Boys (as Margot). She has spent the last few years leaning into musical theater and Hallmark holiday slate work, and welcomed her first child in late 2023. Mona was always the smartest person in any room, and Parrish's quietly steady career is, frankly, very on-brand.
Ian Harding (Ezra Fitz) has stayed busy with the kind of grounded indie work that telegraphs an actor consciously distancing himself from a controversial fan-favorite role. He led the German-American co-production Ego and the thriller Charlie Says I Love You, popped up on Chicago Med, and wrote a well-reviewed memoir-of-essays about his lifelong love of birdwatching (yes, really). He married longtime girlfriend Sophie Hart in 2023.
Keegan Allen (Toby Cavanaugh) has fully committed to the multi-hyphenate life: photography books, a folk-rock album, off-Broadway theater, and recurring roles on Walker (as Liam Walker opposite Jared Padalecki). He briefly returned to the PLL universe in Original Sin and continues to be one of the most artistically restless members of the cast, with a 2025 gallery show of his street photography in Brooklyn.
Tyler Blackburn (Caleb Rivers) has spent the post-PLL years toggling between music and TV. After the spinoff Ravenswood and his run on Roswell, New Mexico — where he became the first openly bisexual lead on a CW genre series — Blackburn released his debut album Love Me Like You Hate Me and a string of follow-up singles. He has been touring small venues through 2025 and continues to be one of the most candid voices among the cast about mental health and identity.
