A fan favoritePretty Little Liars spin-off Ravenswood does exist in the Pretty Little Liars universe. Created by I. Marquina, Ravenswood originally was conceived as a spin-off that aired during Pretty Little Liars’ Halloween special, “Unmasked,” in Season 4. After that, the supernatural, creepy town and series were apart from Rosewood for good, but Pretty Little Liars fans could catch familiar faces and crossovers and Easter eggs along the way, including the main character Caleb from the Liars. Although seemingly a super different TV show, spotting the occasionally hidden references and appearances from Pretty Little Liars were really fun while they lasted.

Unfortunately, Ravenswood was cancelled after just one season, so the potential for crossovers between Ravenswood and PLL was never fully explored. The show would have been an excellent way to delve deeper into the mysteries of the DiLaurentis family and Alison’s past. For fans of PLL, however, it is definitely worth watching in order to follow Caleb’s story line and get a glimpse into the creepy and unknown world of Ravenswood.

Ravenswood is kind of like PLL’s goth cousin that was uninvited to the party. Produced by the same people, starred the actor who played Caleb, but was just so, so. The PLL tie-ins were pretty cosmetic. Just a few mentions of the original show, a cameo by Hanna, and that show’s creepy ‘A’-esque stalker. It was an ambitious foray into new storytelling, but unfortunately it fell into the ‘too niche’ category of shows. Watch the Halloween-themed episodes for some context, and then just imagine it as an alternate universe fanfic that’s gone a bit nuts.

Ravenswood’s connection to Pretty Little Liars is there but subtle. The pilot of Ravenswood begins with Caleb discovering a gravesite from the PLL universe and Miranda’s death is akin to the show’s central theme of secrets. I was immediately thrown into a completely different universe of high school scheming but instead was presented with a group of people performing a séance. However, there are many connecting Shared Universe nods throughout the episodes. We see Mrs. Grunwald from time to time as well as a random Hastings Law book laying around in Ravenswood. It almost seems as though the writers were going to introduce a much larger mythos but ran out of time to do so. Nonetheless, the crossover episodes are a must for PLL lore junkies.

The link between Ravenswood and PLL was so much fun to follow. Who would have thought that Caleb, my dear hacker boyfriend, would get pulled into a Ravenswood ghost town plotline for a Halloween episode? The episode was amazing, full of jump scares, mysterious gravestones and even a few appearances from my favorite characters. After that episode, the spin-off tried to establish itself with a “lost souls” curse, but I stayed for Caleb’s delicious leather jacket and for more PLL appearances. Unfortunately, the show didn’t get enough ratings and got canceled faster than A can text.

Is 'Pretty Things' being adapted into a TV series?

5 Answers2025-06-23
‘Pretty Things’ is happening as a limited series with approximately 6-8 episodes. It will be a moody, character driven drama and not an action-packed series. The book was about the flawed, complex women in it and so far the reports are that the women will not be sugar-coated. If they find the right actresses, it could be award-worthy.

How does 'Clockwork Angel' connect to 'The Infernal Devices' series?

4 Answers2025-06-25
Clockwork Angel is the first installment in The Infernal Devices, the first series set in the Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare. We are introduced to the main character Tessa, a complete mystery to herself as well as to everyone around her. There are also a lot of great and intimidating villains in this book with a steampunk twist to the typical monstrous creatures. We also get to see the dynamics of the people in the London Institute, particularly Will and Jem and how they will change as the books progress. There are also many items that reappear in future books including the clockwork angel and Tessa’s connection to Shadowhunter lore is also introduced in this book. Overall, it’s a very sleek and moody first book that sets up many more twists and turns in the rest of the series.

What is the ending of 'The Lying Game' and does it have a sequel?

Wait the TV series is going to end differently than the books? that’s so annoying. I suppose one would consider the books the “real” ending since it started there.

How does the series Venom connect to Spider-Man?

4 Answers2025-09-16
I tend to view the character of 'Venom' in relation to Spider-Man. At first the symbiote linked with Spider-Man to enhance his powers and grant him a far more aggressive appearance. But eventually the two had to be separated as it was deemed too detrimental to Spider-Man. Realizing he wasn’t good for the hero the symbiote went in search of a new host. Resulting in the miserable tale of Eddie Brock and his dealings as Venom. What I like most about their battles is that they delve into issues of revenge and identity crisis and therefore reflect in a nice way problems we face in our lives. As an anti-hero the character of Venom is flawed and tortured. At the core of Venom’s being is his struggle to come to terms with Spider-Man and his ongoing desire to destroy him. In comics, TV shows and films their complicated relationship makes for brilliant reading and viewing – it’s truly fantastic to witness their unfolding story.

How does the hemlock grove novel differ from the Netflix series?

2 Answers2025-07-11
Reading 'Hemlock Grove' the novel versus watching the Netflix adaptation feels like experiencing two different flavors of the same bizarre cocktail. The book dives deeper into the grotesque and psychological, with Eli Roth’s signature visceral horror woven into every page. The prose is dense, almost suffocating at times, with layers of symbolism and body horror that the show can’t fully capture. Roman’s inner monologues, for instance, reveal a much more twisted psyche than the brooding pretty boy the series portrays. The novel’s pacing is slower, letting the town’s decay and the characters’ moral rot simmer in a way that feels more deliberate. On the other hand, the Netflix series amps up the visual spectacle—special effects for werewolf transformations, gore, and that eerie small-town aesthetic. But it sacrifices nuance for shock value. Characters like Letha and Destiny get sidelined hard compared to the book, where their arcs feel more integral to the story’s fabric. The show also simplifies the mythology, trimming the novel’s labyrinthine lore into something more digestible for binge-watchers. It’s entertaining, sure, but lacks the book’s lingering unease. The biggest divergence? The ending. Without spoilers, the novel’s finale is bleak in a way that sticks to your ribs, while the show opts for a more... televisual closure.

Is Six of Crows Netflix a sequel to Shadow and Bone?

4 Answers2025-09-14
As the excited release date of Six of Crows draws near, I have become extremely excited for this new installment in the Grishaverse by Leigh Bardugo. This is not a sequel to Shadow and Bone but a completely new and original storyline, with its own unique plot and setting within the world that she has created. Yes, Six of Crows is a heist story and Kaz Braithwaites dysfunction will likely create some very intense moments. The adaptation of the book into a TV series will hopefully capture the intricate relationships between the characters as well as the many plot twists and turns that the book contains. It’s great that the two series can exist without having to be direct sequels to each other, hopefully this means that there will be even more Grishaverse content in the future. Bring it on!

Which TV series are based on dark romance fiction novels?

3 Answers2025-05-13
Most dark romance TV shows are adaptations. One of my favorites is the TV-series ‘You’. The TV-series is based on Caroline Kepnes’ novels about the same topic and is a very dark interpretation of love and the borderline between love and obsession. As observer of the happenings the series makes you question what is right and what is wrong. Is love enough to make something right? 'Gebracht durchs Böse. Eine dunkle Liebe‘ – another dark romantic favorite of mine are 'The Vampire Diaries'. In the framework of the supernatural drama unfolding between humans and vampires unfolded a very dark love story and consequently also romantic entanglements. 'Outlander' is another show based off a novel series by Diana Gabaldon. This show is a long, sweeping love story through time that follows the tender and rough relationship of Jamie and Claire. A great choice for people who love dark, twisted romance.

How does the Kidd series connect to John Sandford’s Prey books?

8 Answers2026-07-26
There are two major ongoing series by John Sandford: the 'Prey' novels and the 'Virgil Flowers' novels. There is also a series of novels by Sandford about a man named Kidd (The Fool's Run, The Empress File, etc.). These novels were an ongoing series which were brought to a close before Davenport's "Prey" novels were introduced. Note that although the novels are by the same author, the only connection between the Kidd novels and the "Prey" novels is the author's name on the cover. The tone of the Kidd novels is that of a caper/con artist story set in the 80s/90s with appropriate technology. The "Prey" novels, on the other hand, are straightforward police procedural novels. If you are reading Sandford because you like his writing style, you might enjoy the Kidd novels to see the full range of the author's work. But be advised that they are a "dead-end" universe with no shared characters and no cameos by the Minneapolis Police Department in the Kidd novels.

Is the legacy series books getting a TV adaptation?

9 Answers2025-07-16
This rumor was always floating around right before the pandemic, and several 'insider' accounts on Twitter would announce the 'end' of RFH, only to never hear from it again for years. It's all part of a cycle to garner attention and discussion, with someone occasionaly bringing up the rumor and starting a 'what if?' thread on Twitter, only for it to die off again with zero new information. I won't believe it until Variety or The Hollywood Reporter writes up a trade announcement.

How do John Gwynne’s Of Blood and Bone books connect in series order?

6 Answers2026-07-26
I picked up ‘A Time of Dread’ by Mary’s cousin, John Gwynne, first because the cover art looked cool, and second because it seemed to start in the middle of things. It’s been a hundred pages or so of everyone talking about the Great War, the Bright Star, and the Black Sun as if they were all well known. The book does have a rather good glossary at the back and the dramatis personae is also useful. I read ‘The Faithful and the Fallen’ first, and then returned to ‘A Time of Dread’ to read it as well. While the order of a series can often matter little for a basic grasp of the plot, here it adds much to the emotional impact of the story.
