I. Marlene King is just looking for some positive things to think about!
The writer, director, and producer has been feeling a little down after the cancellation of one of her shows, Famous In Love, and looked to Twitter to pick her up.
“What is the best thing that happened to you today?” she tweeted out on Monday (July 2), and her followers really delivered!
One fan replied that they “Decided that I want to do mission work for the rest of my life because I love serving and helping others!” while another said, “I ate lunch with my husband, even if his work day was chaotic, it was the best 15 minutes of my day ❤️”
The creator/writer put up a good fight to keep the show going, but unfortunately, it was still cancelled.
“I am deeply grateful for the #FamousInLove cast, crew and our passionate fans. I could not be more saddened by today’s news. I love these characters and the wild ride they were taking us on,” Marlene wrote after the news. “Thank you @warnerbrosTV for fighting the good fight with me. We gave it our all. Keep #Raige in your hearts and they will live on.”
While the TV show may no longer be continuing, she knows just how the story would go on, and wants to find a way to tell how it all continued.
“S3 of #FamousInLove is totally mapped out. This was a blow so I need to catch my breath but I would love to find a way to share w fans. ❤️,” she replied to a fan on Twitter.
“We know season 3. Going to try to find a way to give all the answers to our fans. Maybe a podcast! #FamousInLove,” Marlene continued.
“Happy Birthday to our fearless leader, the brilliant, inspiring @imarleneking 🖤 Mar, I am honored to be your Ava. Here’s to so many more perfect adventures by your side… Love you always, Your Sofia,” Sofiawrote along with pictures.
“Happy Birthday to the incredible @imarleneking ❤️ You truly are a force and we are so lucky to have you as our fearless leader. Love you,” Janelcaptioned her own group photo.

Showrunner I. Marlene King revealed in a new video featurette that PLL inspired her to sign up for the series, starring Bella Thorne.
“One of the reasons I wanted to do this show is because I got to watch the Pretty Little Liars grow up in front of the camera and become starlets over the course of the show,” she shared. “Seeing the good, the bad and the ugly…”
Marlene adds, “All of that is such great fuel for Famous in Love…We get to show our audience, worldwide, what does it really look like when the camera turns off and you go on with your life after someone says ‘wrap’.”
“New town. Same secrets. It begins,” Janel captioned with a slideshow of pics, including one of her, Sasha, Sofia and showrunner I. Marlene King doing a “shhh” gesture, just like the flagship show, Pretty Little Liars, was known for.
The three actresses didn’t give a lot away about who else stars in the series yet, and we’re really anxious to find out who will be playing these characters!
“I love those characters so much,” she shared with US Weekly. “A couple of those characters are going to be in the Pretty Little Liars spinoff [The Perfectionists].”
Marlene added, “I had so much fun writing for those characters again and it just made me realize how much I love writing for that world.
While a revival isn’t in the works at the moment, Marlene did share that the show could return “some day”.
“I think the girls all really want to grow up and do their own things, like follow their own individual projects for a while. And maybe we’ll eventually come back,” she adds.
And until then, we always have short stories from Marlene, like this Spoby one.
