The sci-fi genre has always allowed viewers to see their dreams and nightmares come true. While literary works were once groundbreaking in people everyone to imagine different worlds, movie adaptations were artistic interpretations that gave form to things that concepts we once might have imagined differently. Flying saucers were shiny and circular, aliens were skinny and aggressive, and outer space was incalculably vast.
The reboot of “Pretty Little Liars,” titled “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” has been terminated by Max after only two seasons on air. This show started streaming in 2022 and its second season, known as “Summer School,” was released in May and ended in June. Despite receiving positive feedback from both critics and viewers during its short run, this reboot marks the end of a series that drew inspiration from the highly successful original Freeform series that premiered in 2010 and ran for seven seasons. In a statement to Variety, Max announced:
The 1980s marked a crucial period for science fiction, as the imagination of what technology might evolve into during our future was vividly portrayed on the silver screen. Following George Lucas’ success in demonstrating that the genre had commercial potential with Star Wars, every studio rushed to create their own sci-fi blockbusters. This rush led to the emergence of grand, high-budget productions such as Alien, Blade Runner, and The Terminator; these movies significantly elevated science fiction to a level of spectacle.
