Since its premiere this May, not only is the new season of the “Pretty Little Liars” reboot being praised by its young adult audiences globally for its storyline and hot take on today’s issues such as teenage pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, LGBTQIA+ romance and such a small setting like Millwood.
Malia Pyles, one of the lead stars of HBO’s ‘Pretty Little Liars: Summer School,’ plays Filipino Broadway icon Lea Salonga’s daughter Mouse.
“When we were conceptualizing the show, we knew we wanted the girls to be super diverse to reflect the times of today. But Lea Salonga is an icon. We were so lucky to get her for Season 2 cause she’s so busy!” they said. Besides Lea who plays Malia’s mom, the show also introduced her Lola Honrada who is played by “Here Lies Love” star and Tony award nominee Loretta Ables Sayre.
Another tidbit came from Maia Reficco who plays Noa Olivar. She revealed that Lea even sang her iconic rendition of Aladdin’s A Whole New World for the whole group to listen to during their downtime on set. Wow!
