Having a haunting identity crisis after spending seven long years playing the same character is not unlikely, for both the actor and her fans. When Lucy Hale bid adieu to her eccentric Aria Montgomery in the cult drama series, ‘Pretty Little Liars,’ it took some time for her and the fans to adjust to the reality. Lucy Hale garnered a worldwide fan base with the portrayal of Arai in ‘Pretty Little Liars.’ Both Lucy and Aria became the synonyms of a force of nature, radiating feminine energy all around. When the Series stopped in 1997, the identity crisis lingered on as she was also playing a teenager in most of her 20s.
But she realized the danger of these recurring roles and started choosing her characters with care and discretion. Lucy Hale returned to her home turf, the TV shows, with the CW’s ‘Life Sentence.’ She often remembers her shifting from Tennessee to Los Angeles 12 years ago and receiving her first paycheck as a little girl for a Bratz doll commercial. Lucy Hale considers entertaining as her hobby. At this point, the question that might be circling your mind is what is the next Lucy Hales movie and TV show? Well, the good news is that we have a clear answer to that question. Here’s the list of upcoming Lucy Hales films/TV shows scheduled to release in 2019 and 2020. We can only hope that the latest Lucy Hales movies would be as good as some of her recent ones.
