Although the departure of the iconic series has fans up in arms, they’ll still be able to binge for another year and a half with the show coming off in January 2021.
The bad news comes soon after most bittersweet part of the month for Netflix subscribers, as the streaming service has announced what titles are arriving and dropping off for next month.
While fans will be sad to see Pretty Little Liars depart, next month will be highlighted by the addition of thrillers Scream 3 and Cloverfield, as well as the comedy favorite the Hangover.
Streamers can take note of the film additions, but the highlight of July is the arrival of new seasons for Stranger Things, Queer Eye and Orange Is The New Black.
The new lineup looks promising, even if it can’t fill the massive void that everyone’s favorite workplace comedy will leave.
