is a English television romantic mystery drama series created by Reece Jacobs and produced by Jaba Studios. It distributed on Revma, Jaba Studio's streaming service, from April 10th 2011 till present. Executive producer Jacobs served as showrunner. Other executive producers since the fourth season included Michael Henderson, Alice Warren and Ellen Donaghy.
Set in Daphne, a fictional city in the fictional state of Manchineel in the United Kingdom, Rumours follows an assemble cast of both teenagers and adults, all connected to the murder of a sixteen year old boy named Conner Gibbins, and the scandals following this event.
The storyline covers eleven years of the character's lives over eight seasons, set between the years 2011-2014, and later 2018-2022 (the story arc includes a five-year passage of time, as well as flashbacks and flashforwards ranging from the 1990s to the 2030s).
Since the series began, Rumours has remained popular, with every season increasing in viewers and acclaim, causing the show to win multiple awards such as a Primetime Emmy. Therefore, in 2012, after the first seasons popularity, a three-season contract was put into place, and another two-year-season contact created in 2015. To accommodate the second renewal and the five-year passage of time within the show, there was a 20 month break between Season 4 and Season 5.
Season 1
The first season premiered on October 11th, 2011, and introduces the four central characters of the show: Amber Hotchkiss, Andrew Corner, Eleanor Oxbridge and Richard Bolton, as well as their families, friends, partners, and fellow students in the town of Daphne. The unexpected murder of the group's leader Connor Gibbins is simultenouslt the main mystery of the season, but also the catalyst to create the show's main antagonists, the cult of Anonymous, which mysteriously stalk and blackmail the group, and various other residents of Daphne - but what's the connection between them all? The first seasons deals with the students reactions and attempts to destroy to the cult, as well as each student's individual scandals. Amber is forced to shoplift expensive items in order to help her mother out of debt and deals with the repercussions; Andrew becomes borderline-obessessed with his new neighbour James Bridgwater; Eleanor Oxbridge notably suffers and grieves for Conner the most, making sure his image is dignified, but discovers his dark secrets; and Richard, under-pressure, begins to take sport-enhancing drugs. Half-way through the season, a notable event occurs, in which Anonymous blackmails the students into murdering a police-cop who was close to finding out the student's secrets, as well as Anonymous' identity.
During its premiere season, the show featured thirteen starring actors, all credited in the opening sequence. For the show's second year, several actors, mainly friend, family and partners who had guest starred during the first season, were promoted to series regulars without having their names included in the opening sequence. Instead, they were b...
Reece Jacobs originally wrote Rumours as a young adult novel in 2008, however, knowing that television scripts paid more, Jacobs wrote the television version as a spec script before it became a novel. Since no studio or network had asked him to write it, and he would not get paid unless it sold, Jacobs said that "it was never a very pressing project for me". Tinkering with it from time to time, Jacobs wrote project notes a year before he actually started writing the television script. Most of his original ideas made it into the script, but some changed drastically. Jacobs wrote the story about a murder from the police's point-of-view in the small town of Daphne and the investigation following it, instead of a murder and blackmail from the friends and family's point-of-view.
Jacobs had difficulty getting any television network interested in his new series; BBC, ITV, and HBO all turned the show down. Finally, two new executives at Jaba Studios, Michael Henderson, Ellen Donaghy, chose to green light it in February 2009, as there was a gap in the market for a murder-drama.
The ABC executives were not initially satisfied with the name of the new show, suggesting Daphne and Can You Keep a Secret? instead. However, on May 23, 2010, Rumours was announced by Jaba Studios, presented as the "Latest Need to Watch Show". Alice Warren was added as an executive producer for the pilot episode, helping set a basis for the show, and become a consulting producer for the first two seasons.
On October 18, 2010, Jaba Studios announced the 2011–2012 lineup, with Rumours in the Fridays at 8:00–10:00 p.m. slot, which it changed throughout the run of the show. After only three episodes, on June 24, 2011, Jaba Studios announced that Rumours had been picked up for a full season.
Rosewood
Rosewood is a fictional town in the state of Pennsylvania. It is the principal setting of the series and the books. The Liars live in this town along with most of the other characters. It contains many principal locations: the police station, the Rosewood High School, the church, the Rosewood Shopping Center, Hollis College, the Rosewood Community Hospital, the Rosewood movie theater, the mausoleum, the dental office, the Ophthalmology Cabinet, and the Rosewood Court. Virtually all these locations are actually exteriors on the backlot of the Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank. Interior scenes are filmed separately on nearby soundstages. For example, different sides of the same building on the backlot are used for the entrances of the Rosewood police station and high school.
Secondary locations
•Real towns: New York City, Cape May, Philadelphia, London, Hilton Head Island and Brookhaven.

opened with mixed reviews. Metacritic gave the pilot episode 52 out of 100, based upon 14 critical reviews. The New York Daily News gave the show a positive review, commenting that it "makes most popular vampire romances look anemic", while concluding, "Pretty Little Liars could go in several directions, including mundane teen clichés. It's got an equally good shot at making us care about these imperfect pretty girls." A writer on Terror Hook has stated that " 'Pretty Little Liars' gets off to a very promising start. Great production all around, the writing keeps the viewer on their toes, and the acting just reinforces it. The overall mystery of the show in the end is dark and unpredictable, even stepping into the slasher film realm." The New York Post gave the show three out of five stars, stating, "OK, so we've established that there is no socially redeeming value in this series and that your kids shouldn't watch it if they are too young and impressionable. But if you can distract them enough to miss the first 15 minutes, the show isn't half-bad. Actually, it is half-good, if that makes sense." The Los Angeles Times wrote that the series is "one of those shows that manages to mildly, and perhaps unintentionally, spoof its genre while fully participating in it, and that's not a bad thing at all."
had a less favorable review, giving the show a letter grade of "D−", saying, "Imagine the pitch for Liars: It's I Know What You Did Last Summer meets Gossip Girl, but like not so subtle." It went on to say that the plot "hits every racy teen entertainment mark so hard (everyone's hair is so full—of secrets!) that it feels like the only thing missing is a visit from the ghosts of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze, Jr." The Hollywood Reporter compared the show to those on The CW and noted, "Sure, there's a lot here that sustains more eye-rolling than interested stares, but a little patience might be warranted."
