Pretty Little Liars — which was based on the novel series of the same name by Sara Shepard and ran on Freeform from 2010 to 2017 — centers on a group of teenage girls in small-town Pennsylvania as they navigate their best friend's disappearance and possible murder, while being stalked by an ominous presence that goes by "A."

This isn’t the first time the close-knit cast has reunited since the show wrapped. In October 2024, Hale opened up to PEOPLE about running into Benson and costar Sasha Pieterse at the 2024 WIF Max Mara Face of the Future event.

"I was so happy to see them. I mean, you never know who you’re going to run into at these things, but you always assume it’s gonna be your friends," Hale said at the time. "I saw Sasha first and then I saw Ashley, and it’s great. I love those girls, and it’s always amazing when we can gather to be in the same place."

As for what they talked about, a real reunion was definitely top of mind.

'We’re always like, 'We have to do a proper reunion!' " she added. "It was quick — short and sweet — but it made my night."

Harding, who has become a Hallmark staple in recent years, spoke to PEOPLE in November 2024, saying that an on-screen reunion with Hale was “bound to happen.”

“I love a good overlap,” Harding said at the time. “I’d love to work with Troian [Bellisario] or Shay [Mitchell] again, and obviously Lucy [Hale]. There's so much of a fan base there. I think it's got to be very specific, but a holiday rom-com with Lucy Hale? That'd be amazing!”

As for how his relationship with Pretty Little Liars fans has changed through the years, Harding said he was grateful the fans had mostly matured.

“I'm grateful that the rabid fan base has grown up a little bit,” he added. “A lot of times it's just the casual glance where somebody recognizes me, or they'll just come up and say like, ‘Hey, I was a big fan of that show.’ And they shake your hand, and then you keep walking.”
