Shay Mitchell and Troian Bellisario recently spoke to Wetpaint and Ryan Seacrest respectively about the summer premiere of ‘Pretty Little Liars’. Read on below:

Speaking of Pretty Little Liars, how’s filming going for Season 4?
It’s good, but it’s crazy! I keep talking to people, and they’re like, “What happened? What was in the trunk?” And I have to be so careful every single time to make sure I don’t say what’s in there. I have to keep reminding myself that they haven’t seen that part yet. Even though we’re filming Season 4, no one has seen it, so I always have to remind myself to be careful about what I say.

And there’s so many photos! Norman Buckley can’t stop tweeting behind-the-scenes pics.
Norman is the social media king. He loves it! And he’s always snapping photos. I always know what’s going on even when I’m not at work. I’m like, “What is Ashley [Benson] doing today?” And then I look at Norman’s page and it’s like, “Oh, OK. I know what she’s filming.” He’s amazing. He’s directing two episodes at the same time.

Toward the end of last season, we saw Emily become Spencer 2.0 and lead the charge for “A” clues. Is she still sleuthing in Season 4?
Yeah! I think ever since Emily came out, there was a point in Season 2 where everyone was calling her “badass Emily.” She started to come out of her shell, and she became a lot stronger. Now she’s the one who really takes the lead, so I do think Detective Fields continues to sleuth in Season 4. More than anything, she just wants to look out for her friends and protect them all. Now she’s leading the situation, going in head first, which is really cool to play. There’s going to be a lot more of that. I love Detective Fields.

We know the Liars are going to work more with Mona this season, instead of against her. How does Emily feel about working with their former enemy?
It’s awesome! Usually, when we were shooting scenes with her in the past seasons, there was never a lot between Mona and Emily. She didn’t really have much to do with Mona in the beginning. Aside from being with the rest of the girls, she never had any one-on-one scenes, like she had with Spencer and Hanna, and even Aria. Now, she’s kind of in the group. You’re going to see the girls question, “Can we trust her? Do we trust her? Is this all right? Are we telling her too much?” So it’s one of those things where we cross our fingers and hope that she’s on our side for the good reasons.

Marlene King has promised a lot of answers this season, particularly in the first episode, and a lot more Sasha Pieterse, so what can you tell us about how Ali will be involved in Season 4?
Ali will definitely be involved a lot more because where we last left off, it was all about what happened that summer and was she really pregnant. So a lot of those questions will be answered. There’s going to be a lot more flashbacks as well, as the girls try to put all the puzzle pieces together, so we are definitely going to be seeing Alison a lot more and see other relationships that she had with certain people who might have a big clue in the whole thing.

Troian Bellisario, better known as Spencer from Pretty Little Liars, stopped by On Air with Ryan Seacrest to chat PLL and her YouTube series, Lauren, as well as how boyfriend Patrick J. Adams won her back!

First things first, what was up with that Season 4 poster which had all four PLL stars donning red coats? Troian says even she is in the dark!

“It’s actually really funny. When the photo came out, I put it in my head and was like I need to call Marlene King, who is the creator of the show, and talk to her because I have the same question: ‘What is going to happen?’ I know with the season finale the girls all think they saw Alison … in the red coat, so it brings up the question, ‘Is Alison red coat? Is Alison dead?’ So I think all of us are wrapped up in this red coat because they don’t tell me anything.”

Troian continued: “The slogan is ‘Liars Unite,’ so I think the idea is we are all coming together to take down this new adversary.”

Although Troian stayed hush about the poster, she did reveal insight as to what was in the trunk during the last (and very memorable) scene of the finale.

“I can say, which is kind of funny, because when we shot the scene there was nothing in the trunk. When I say we know nothing, we were looking at nothing in the trunk, and I said to Marlene … ‘I just have to know. I’m an actor. Tell me what’s in the trunk so I can imagine it.’ And she said, ‘It’s pretty close to your worst nightmare.’ But when we shot the scene picking up with the season premiere where you see what’s in the trunk, she wasn’t far. It’s pretty awful.”

ABC Family’s hit drama Pretty Little Liars has released its first poster for the new season.

The four main Liars — Emily (Shay Mitchell), Aria (Lucy Hale), Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Spencer (Troian Bellisario) — are all seen donning the infamous red coat, in reference to the events of the fiery season-three finale when it was revealed that Alison (Sasha Pieterse) may be Red Coat.

The one-sheet also features the new tagline for the season: “Liars Unite.”

Keegan Allen, who plays Toby, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter the day after the finale, offering hints to the “exciting” season-four opener in June. The episode, he said at the time, picks up “moments later,” with viewers seeing “how [the girls have] responded to Red Coat or where they go with Red Coat.”

And with a spinoff, Ravenswood, premiering in October, what will be in store for the Liars this summer?

Pretty Little Liars returns for season four at 8 p.m. June 11 on ABC Family.

Aria Montgomery’s little brother Mike (Cody Allen Christian) has been MIA on “Pretty Little Liars” for a while. When we last saw him, it was Season 2 and he was acting out as a result of his parents’ split. He had also just punched Ezra when Ezria revealed their relationship to Aria’s family.

Now Mike is back in the Montgomery house. Creator Marlene King tweets, “Mike Montgomery is home. #405,” referring to Season 4′s fifth episode, titled “Gamma Zeta Die.”

King has also been dropping some hints about the Season 4 premiere, writing, “Watching final playback of PLL season premiere. OMG. It messes w ur mind!” and “I think 401 is my most fave premiere. Ever!”

We can hardly wait. “Pretty Little Liars” returns June 11 on ABC Family.

… As for some other generic news that does not revolve around Ezra, King also shared the following message that promises that at least a few of the mysteries that have been floating around over the years will be resolved pretty soon:

“Season four of PLL = answers. You will learn so much. Ask and it is given.”

King also promised that there would be answers to one of the following questions during the June 11 season premiere:

• 1. Who killed Officer Garrett?
• 2. Who went after Spencer in the steam room?
• 3. Why did Red Coat save the Liars and Mona from the fire?

Ashley listened to music with friends at the weekend festival starting on April 12, and being in the hot sun all day isn’t easy! Luckily, she had a beauty must-have with SPF to keep her safe in the sun! See the exact product she used below!

Celebs like Bella Thorne, Vanessa Hudgens, Kristen Stewart and Ashley Benson all spent their weekend at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. Celeb retreats and lounges were set up for the stars to relax and re-hydrate and we’ve got the exact product Ashley was using to shield herself from the scorching sun!

Ashley’s must-have at the outdoor festival was Colorescience Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen Brush SPF 30. The lightweight mineral powder provides a sheer coverage while also offering UVA and UVB protection from the sun!

The all-in-one design makes carrying and applying a cinch, especially for all those times you don’t have a mirror handy!

Plus, it’s water resistant so you don’t have to worry about the formula sweating off. Either way, it’s best to apply any sunscreen every two hours.

She got her new must-have at the Kari Feinstein Coachella Style Lounge.

Ashley tweeted on April 15: “Best time at coachella.” She also posted a bunch of pictures with friends — looks like she had a great time!

Put your hands where we can see them!

As TV Guide Magazine previously broke, the heat is gonna be on Aria and friends when ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars returns in June. Here’s an exclusive first look at Rosewood’s newest (and perfectly monikered) law-enforcement officer, played by Sean Faris (The Vampire Diaries).

“This season on Pretty Little Liars, I’m playing Pennsylvania State Police Detective Gabriel Holbrook,” reveals Faris. His character will be paired with Nip/Tuck vet Roma Maffia’s Det. Linda Tanner “to investigate some of the mysteries that seem to elude the local police.”

Looks like his work begins at some sort of gathering — perhaps a funeral with the world’s most fabulous dress code? — but is this guy to be trusted? According to Faris, it sounds like our girls won’t be dealing with another dastardly Detective Wilden-type, despite whatever it was they found in the dirty cop’s trunk in last season’s finale. “In the end,” says Faris, “all we are looking for is the truth.”

So confess: are you excited to meet Faris’ Officer Holbrook? And with whom do you think he might share some unlawful chemistry? Also, what do you think of Hanna’s outfit?

The Shorty Awards are the annual honors given out for the best content producers on social media: Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Tumblr. The fifth annual Shorties were awarded Monday (April 8) and guess what took home Best TV Show? “Pretty Little Liars”!

Star Keegan Allen taped an acceptance speech, saying, “Thank you guys so much on behalf of everyone from ‘Pretty Little Liars’ and ABC Family. Keep tweeting! Or ‘A’ will come after you!”

In 2013, “Pretty Little Liars” was the top-tweeted series across all of TV and was second only to the Grammys and the Super Bowl. This is the third year a Best TV Show award has been given out by the Shorties. It has previously been won by “Attack of the Show” and “Sesame Street.”

ABC Family, the basic cable network that airs the drama series, boasts television dominance in the social media landscape

“Pretty Little Liars” is television’s number one most-tweeted series for the first quarter of 2013, according to SocialGuide.

Even with “Walking Dead,” “Big Bang Theory,” and “American Idol” dominating the ratings this year, “Liars” remained the top-tweeted series across all TV and inspired 2.6 million social unique users to send out over 11.7 million 140-character messages about the show.

The drama series accounted for four of the top five most-tweeted TV episodes during the quarter — towering over AMC’s “The Walking Dead” by 49 percent and FOX’s “American Idol” by 50 percent, and nearly quadrupling A&E’s buzzed-about “Duck Dynasty”. Among all first quarter programs, “Pretty Little Liars” ranked third, behind Super Bowl XLVII and The 55th Annual Grammy Awards on ABC.

Overall, ABC Family is the number one network in the social media landscape, which is a constantly growing value to the entertainment industry. ABC Family credits the surge of their social media presence to the never-before-done announcement of spin-off series “Ravenswood” across all “Pretty Little Liars” social media platforms.

Instead of adding a statement from a proud executive to announce the accomplishment, ABC Family included a fitting hashtag: #POWEROFABCFAMILYSOCIALMEDIA.
