Lucy Hale sheds a tear as she finds out she’s cured of cancer in the new Life Sentence teaser trailer.
The 28-year-old actress stars as Stella, who gets a second chance at life after battling terminal cancer for eight years, and now she must learn to live with all the choices she made when deciding to live like she was dying — like marrying a total stranger and finding out that her “perfect family” isn’t so perfect after all. Turns out, because she was dying, everyone in her life hid their problems from her.
“It was truly one of the greatest experiences of my life,” she shared about booking her new CW series. “It was almost so immediate that it didn’t really feel like I stopped working, but the vibe of the show is very different.”
She continues, “I just feel really lucky to jump from one amazing experience to another because we did PLL for a long time. It was scary to start something new, but I’m glad that I made that leap because the payoff for me has been really great.”
Lucy adds, “I mean it’s always so strange to leave one thing and start a new chapter, but it was the time for everyone and everybody’s off doing their own thing and it’s great. I’m happy to support everyone and everything.”
There’s a spotlight on Stella and Wes’ relationship in the new Life Sentence promo and we are here for it!
The new teaser shows fans that Stella (Lucy Hale) really has no idea who she is after she finds out that her cancer is gone — and Wes (Elliot Knight) is going to be right by her side as she figures it out.
Life Sentence centers on Stella, who finds out her terminal cancer is cured, and now she must learn to live with all the choices she made when deciding to live like she was dying — like marrying a total stranger and finding out that her “perfect family” isn’t so perfect after all.
Turns out, because she was dying, everyone in her life hid their problems from her.
The series premieres on Wednesday, March 7th on The CW.
Lucy Hale shared the wrap news on her Instagram with a long post about starting work on a new show and her experience with the process.
“Life Sentence was my new chapter in life… It was extraordinarily scary to start something new and lead the charge , but boy am I glad my heart led me here,” she wrote. “I feel completely fulfilled and full of gratitude. I leave Vancouver with a heart so full of joy and my soul lit up in a way I haven’t felt in a long time.
For the last 6 months I’ve cried and laughed with these remarkable humans, doing our best to create characters and a world that we hope you openly take into your own home.”
“THANK YOU to our hard working cast, crew, writers and producers for emotionally and physically investing yourselves into this experience. I am indebted to you,” Lucy continued. “Thank you to @thecw and @doozerproductions for believing in this show whole heartedly. Let this show teach you about love and life and all the shitty times in between. We appreciate all of you who will be keeping up with the Abbotts. (March 7 premiere) That’s a wrap on Season 1!!”
Lucy Hale just gave fans a major sneak peek at what’s coming to her new show, Life Sentence — and it’s a wedding!
Just after promoting her new series at the Winter TCA Tour over the past weekend, the 28-year-old actress got right back to work on the show for the final episode of the first season.
The Instagram pic has Lucy in a white wedding dress and floral crown — could this mean she’s getting re-married to husband Wes (Elliot Knight)?
While we won’t know that for certain for a while, the pic does give us some major Princess Diaries vibes.
