"Pretty Little Liars" ended the first part of its sixth season with an explosive revelation about the true identity of "A." And while the show is gearing up for the next half of the season, creator Marlene King revealed that there will be some changes that fans can look forward to, specifically in the show's intro.
The current show intro features Aria (Lucy Hale), Spencer (Troian Bellisario), Hannah (Ashley Benson) and Emily (Shay Mitchell) standing behind Alison's (Sasha Pieterse) casket while the show's theme song, "Secret," plays in the background. After the girls exchange looks, the camera focuses on Aria, who puts her finger to her lips and says "shhh" for the camera.
While chatting with the show's fans on Twitter, King said that the series will have a new opening when it premieres next year.
Responding to a fan's question as to why Aria gets to "do the shhh at the intro," King tweeted on Tuesday, Sept. 8, "Fun new intro when we come back in January. Everyone gets a turn to shhh."
Given that it was revealed that Alison is alive, the casket could be gone by the show's winter premiere. And it remains to be seen what CeCe's future holds, as it was revealed in the shocking finale that she is "A" and that she is Alison's brother Charles, who was initially thought to be dead.
The season 6 finale saw a 5-year time jump, and fans can expect some new developments in the girls' lives when the show returns next year. In the finale, it was revealed that Alison is already married, and in an interview with TVLine, King said that Alison is married to a doctor whose last name is Rollins.
As for CeCe, who took the name Charlotte after her transition, King said that she will definitely be a part of the show.
"We will see Charlotte five years later. Alison stays behind to take care of her, and we'll se how far she's come when we make the time jump," said King to TVLine.
"Pretty Little Liars" returns for the second half of its sixth season in January 2016 on ABC.
