Pretty Little Liars: Summer School is the second season of the Max spin-off of the popular teen drama Pretty Little Liars, and many cast members from season 1 (subtitled Original Sin) return in the new episodes, with a handful of new faces sprinkled in. The slasher teen drama mystery series, created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring, is the fourth installment in the Pretty Little Liars franchise and exists in the same universe as the original show (as proven by the mention of Aria and Ezra in the Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin finale).

Season 2 of the Max original series picks up where season 1 left off — with "A," aka Archie Waters, escaping from police custody, determined to tie up some of his loose ends. However, the premiere of Pretty Little Liars: Summer School soon jumps ahead to the end of the school year, with Imogen, Tabby, Faran, Mouse, and Noa ready to enjoy a carefree summer, until the principal informs them they must attend summer school. The teenage girls now have jobs, boys, and school to worry about (along with a new villain "Bloody Rose" stalking the show's central friend group).
