POSTED BY ZOE TYLER

Pretty Little Liars was originally meant to wrap up in five seasons with a dramatic "Dollhouse" finale, but its huge popularity pushed it to run for seven seasons (2010–2017). Sasha Pieterse, who played Alison, recently spilled the tea, validating some fan theories even though the creators never made an official announcement.

The Original Blueprint

Picture this: a tight, five-season plan with a jaw-dropping "Dollhouse" finale that was meant to be the ultimate send-off. That was the original vision for 'Pretty Little Liars,' a show based on Sara Shepard’s novels that was destined to be a compact mystery thriller.

Sasha Speaks Out

In a recent revelation, Sasha Pieterse confirmed that the series was scripted to end after five seasons. Her comments have set off a buzz online, perfectly matching what die-hard fans had speculated for years—even if the official word from the creators is still MIA.

Riding the Wave

Instead of a neat, five-season wrap, the show’s massive success led to an extended seven-season run, delivering 160 episodes of relentless drama. The once-planned "Dollhouse" climax ended up as just one thrilling twist in a much longer, unpredictable journey.

Final Thoughts & Fan Impact

While the original five-season concept remains a fascinating piece of TV lore, the expansion to seven seasons gave fans a rollercoaster of twists and extra intrigue. It’s a brilliant reminder of how creative ideas can evolve in unexpected ways, leaving viewers with endless debates and a strong sense of nostalgia.
