Lucy Hale and Ian Harding are channeling their 'Pretty Little Liars' romance into their new Christmas movie - but with a more appropriate age gap. Hale, 35, and Harding, 38, are reuniting for the film '12 Dates of Christmas'.
To promote the project, the duo recreated a poster from their time on the hit teen drama. Hale, who played Aria Montgomery, shared a side-by-side image with Harding, who portrayed her love interest Ezra Fitz, on Instagram.
"A little older and wiser, but the same two idiots!" Hale wrote. "Info soon," they captioned the post.
The pair's original romance began under unusual circumstances: Aria met Ezra at a bar after returning to Rosewood, only to discover the next morning that he was her new high school English teacher. Their relationship became one of the show's most prominent storylines, though it has drawn significant backlash in recent years due to the power dynamic.
Fans of the long-running series have expressed excitement over the reunion, noting that the chemistry between the two actors remains as strong as ever. The upcoming film is expected to be a lighthearted holiday feature, moving away from the dark mystery themes that defined their previous collaboration.
Production details remain under wraps, but the actors have promised more updates in the coming weeks as the holiday season approaches. Both Hale and Harding have pursued various projects since the conclusion of the series, but this reunion marks a significant nostalgic moment for their dedicated fanbase.
As the entertainment industry continues to embrace reboots and reunions, this project serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of the characters they brought to life.
