“[She is an] overbearing mother who works overtime to protect her daughter from her childhood trauma,”
Moreover, the news outlet explained the series’ synopsis, writing,
“The series is set in the present, 20 years after a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, a disparate group of teen girls — the new ‘Little Liars’ — find themselves tormented by an unknown ‘Assailant’ and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago, as well as their own,”
Previously, the original Pretty Little Liars aired in 2010, bowing down after 7 seasons in 2017.
On the other hand, Salonga recently starred in the film Yellow Rose last 2019.
Moreover, she did iconic Broadway roles in the past, including Miss Saigon and Les Misérables, the former earning her a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical.
We cannot wait to see you on this show, Ms. Lea!
