This week, HBO Max released the trailer for the upcoming 10-episode continuation of the “Pretty Little Liars” saga, “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.” In the series, a masked assailant terrorizes a new generation of teens at Millwood High School, making them pay for the sins committed by their parents 20 years earlier. This is the fourth series in the “Pretty Little Liars” franchise, but the first to run on a streamer. The show debuts on July 28. Bailee Madison stars alongside Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, and Maia Reficco.

  • The six-part Disney+ documentary “Light & Magic” will celebrate the innovative special effects from the world-renowned company Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), a division of Lucasfilm. The doc will debut on July 27 and chronicles the history of the brilliant creatives who brought “Star Wars” to the screen and provided the special effects for “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” among other movie-making triumphs.
