'Liars' Tyler Blackburn to Star in ABC Family Spin-Off RAVENSWOOD

ABC Family announced today that "Pretty Little Liars" star Tyler Blackburn will be the first resident of the spin-off series RAVENSWOOD. Following the successful announcement of the RAVENSWOOD pickup on social media, the network broke the casting news on all "Ravenswood" and "Pretty Little Liars" social media platforms.

Blackburn's character, Caleb Rivers, will travel to Ravenswood during the annual "Pretty Little Liars" special Halloween episode. The "Ravenswood" series will premiere immediately after. Blackburn will still be seen in the upcoming summer season of "Pretty Little Liars."

From "Pretty Little Liars" executive producers I. Marlene King, Oliver Goldstick, Joseph Dougherty and Leslie Morgenstein, "Ravenswood" will center on a town, not far from Rosewood, PA (the home base of "Pretty Little Liars"), which has suffered under a deadly curse for generations. Five strangers suddenly find themselves connected by this fatal curse and need to dig into the town's mysterious and terrible history before it's too late for each of them.

Season 4 of "Pretty Little Liars" will premiere Tuesday, June 11, on ABC Family, as the Liars strive to make sense of the mysterious "Red Coat" and what plans he or she may have in store for them.

"Pretty Little Liars" and "Ravenswood" are produced by Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television, and are executive-produced by I. Marlene King, Oliver Goldstick, Leslie Morgenstein and Joseph Dougherty.
