Sofia Carson Didn't Originally Audition For 'The Perfectionists' Ava At All

Sofia Carson is the first actor cast in the upcoming Pretty Little Liars spinoff series, The Perfectionists.

However, the 24-year-old actress revealed that she actually didn’t audition for Ava, the character she’s playing. It was another character instead!

“I was obsessed with Pretty Little Liars. It’s all I watched,” she told W Magazine. “My agent asked if I’d be interested in going in for the spinoff and I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? Yes please exclamation point, exclamation point.’”

Sofia adds, I went in first for another role to meet with Marlene [King, the creator of the series] and the writers, and then I got the call back to go in for Ava. I went in and tested, and Marlene called me the next day and said, ‘Congratulations, you are my new pretty little liar.’”

“The reaction from everyone has been really, really special,” she continued. “I am really excited. It is such a beautiful legacy that they’ve created, so to be a part of it and continue it, I feel really honored.”

We can’t wait to hear who else will be joining the show!
