Lea Salonga Joins Lead Cast of "Pretty Little Liars" Reboot

Tony-winning Filipina Broadway star and actress Lea Salonga has joined the cast of "Pretty Little Liars" reboot, an American teen mystery drama set to premiere on HBO Max.

"So excited to be part of the cast of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin!" Lea wrote on Twitter.

Lea, who will be playing the role Elodie, described as the overbearing mom of Minnie (Malia Pyles), is set to star alongside Sharon Leal, Elena Goode, Carly Pope, and Zakiya Young, who will all play mother roles.

Set in the present, the show follows a group of teenage girls - a new set of "little liars" who "find themselves tormented by an unknown assailant and [are] made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago...as well as their own," WarnerMedia, which owns HBO Max, said.

A release date for Original Sin wasn't announced, but filming for the series already began in upstate New York last August, according to Just Jared Jr. The new episodes will premiere on HBO Max.
