I. Marlene King Teases That PLL Spinoff 'The Perfectionists' Will Also Have Important Male Characters

We’re all anxious for more details about The Perfectionists — and showrunner I. Marlene King is delivering!

Speaking with ET recently, she dished about locations, just which other Pretty Little Liars characters might pop up and bringing in important male characters into the show.

“I felt like just as we were getting sort of into season five and six of Pretty Little Liars, our guys became such an important part of the show,” she says. “I wanted to explore the relationship between guys and girls who can be friends and not necessarily boyfriend-girlfriend.”

Marlene says that they’re looking to shoot the pilot in Portland and are “in the process of rewriting [the pilot] just to fine-tune it perfectly… we’re super excited about it.”

As for any other PLL characters to pop up, she didn’t rule anything out — even when it came to Emily (Shay Mitchell).

“Well, we’ll just have to wait and see,” she teased.
