Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin has found its lead in Bailee Madison.

The series follows a new group of teen girls living in Milowwod who are being tormented by an unknown Assailant and they’re paying for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago.

Madison has been cast as Imogen, who’s described as a true survivor. She will try and uncover “A” while fighting for her life and the lives of her friends. She’s joining previously announced members Chandler Kinney and Maia Reficco.

Her past TV credits include Trophy Wife, The Wizards of Waverly Place, and Good Witch. Her film credits include Parental Guidance, Just Go With It, Brothers, and A Cinderella Story: Starstruck.

The new series, like the original, is based on the book series by Sara Shephard. It’s written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring. Aguirre-Sacasa is also executive producing with Calhoon Bring, Michael Grassi, Caroline Baron, Leslie Morgenstein, and Gina Girolamo.

Pretty Little Liars aired from 2010 to 2017 with over 150 episodes. The series inspired two spinoffs, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists and Ravenswood.
