SEASON PREMIERE: Today, ABC Family changes its name to Freeform – and that’s where you’ll find tonight’s midseason premiere of Pretty Little Liars, last seen on the now-defunct ABC Family. A little time has passed since the Season 6 midseason finale, but much more time has elapsed in the show’s narrative itself. The action picks up five years after it left off – which is one way to have these cast members look closer to their actual ages. If only Beverly Hills, 90210 had done this, a few times, that show’s casting might have made sense by the end of the show’s run.
