We were all locked TF in every week for seven seasons, weaving wilder and wilder theories as we tried to figure out who "A" was. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Freeform / Via giphy.com One of the biggest ships in the fandom at the time was Aria (Lucy Hale) and Ezra (Ian Harding), aka "Ezria," a forbidden student-teacher romance. I know, I know â€" it was definitely a very 2010s teen drama. ABC Family/Courtesy Everett Collection The series ended with Ezra and Aria tying the knot and riding off into the sunset, because, again, 2010s. Well PLL fans, hold on to your socks, because something veryyyy exciting is afoot. Earlier this week, Lucy Hale and Ian Harding made everyone freak out when they casually dropped this cryptic Reel together on Instagram: View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @undefined As you can probably guess, fans immediately went wild speculating what this could possibly mean. You can't just leave us hanging like this!!! @lucyhale / @ianmharding / Via Instagram: @undefined Welp, we finally got our answer: Lucy Hale and Ian Harding are officially reuniting onscreen...and it's for a Christmas rom-com! The sound you hear is me screaming into my pillow. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Universal Pictures / Via giphy.com I don't know about you all, but I did not have festiveâ"¢ Ezria on my 2025 bingo card! The duo will co-star in The Twelve Dates of Christmas, a holiday rom-com from BuzzFeed Studios in co-production with Latigo Films, Applewood Studios, CaliWood Pictures, and Fortitude International. And yes, it IS the first time Lucy and Ian have appeared in something together since PLL! Eric McCandless / ABC Family/Courtesy Everett Collection Per Deadline, the film â€" directed by David Lipper â€" stars Hale as Christina Walker, "a successful shop owner who has devoted her energy to her career at the expense of her dating life." When she finds herself still single watching all of her younger siblings get married before her, she vows to go on 12 dates in the 12 weeks leading up to Christmas to find "the one" (hmm, I wonder who that could be ðŸ'€). Jim Spellman / Getty Images Along the way, Christina "navigates the often complicated and unpredictable world of online dating, discovering unexpected connections, personal growth, and the true meaning of the season." IDK about my fellow PLL fans, but I'm seated. The theater employees are scared and asking me to leave because it "hasn't even started filming yet," but I'm simply too seated. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF NBC / Via giphy.com Details are still TBD, but the announcement alone is enough to get me through the rest of this year. In the meantime, I'll just be here rewatching this PLL Christmas episode on repeat. Freeform How do you feel about this surprise Pretty Little Liars reunion? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
