Who's Bloody Rose in Pretty Little Liars: Summer School? She Might Be Connected to This Surprising Character
MAX

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Pretty Little Liars: Summer School. With a new season of everyone’s favorite teen slasher series arriving on MAX on May 9, 2024, there are fan theories already as to who Bloody Rose is in Pretty Little Liars: Summer School. Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, and Maia Reficco return as the next generation of the cult series.

In Original Sin, the Liars were terrorized by an unknown assailant known only as A, revealed in the finale to be Archie Waters, the second illegitimate child of Rose Waters and Marshall Clanton. His mission is to avenge his sister, Angela Waters, a lonely teen girl who died by suicide in 1999 because he believes the Liar’s moms are to blame for his sibling’s death.

Summer School picks up shortly after Original Sin ends, where the characters face a fate worse than death—summer school. However, Millwood High isn’t the only thing getting in the way of their fun summer jobs and new, dreamy love interests. A new villain who may or may not have a connection to A, has come to town and is going to put them all to the test.

In an interview with Cosmo, co-creators Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring teased some info about this terrifying new antagonist. “We do have a new villain who possibly is connected to Archie Waters, as we’ll learn early on in episode 1. One of our favorite franchises this season is SpookySpaghetti.com. Roberto and I and our writers are all very obsessed with Creepypasta, so we love sort of having our own website. And this horror villain is going to test every one of the girls and they’ll go on their own personal journey.”

“Our villain is a female figure of horror, which is something we really wanted to explore in our female-centered horror show. We also wanted our villain to feel quite apocalyptic and terrifying. And because most of our season is set during summer—besides taking inspiration from our favorite slashers—we wanted it to feel a little more apocalyptic, like something like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre or even Midsommar. There’s a lot of really horrific imagery tied to movies like that and we wanted to tap into those a little bit. And we also knew we had to make a villain scarier than A and it was pretty scary in season 1,” Roberto said.

“The mythology of the look of her face is very tied to into the mythology of the show,” Lindsay continued. “And that’s something that will reveal a bit later in the season.”
