'PLL' stars Lucy Hale and Ian Harding reunite as love interests for 'The 12 Dates of Christmas'
Nearly a decade after "Pretty Little Liars" ended, Lucy Hale and Ian Harding reunite for a small-town Christmas romance.
LOS ANGELES -- 'Tis the seAson!
Reuniting as love interests, Lucy Hale and Ian Harding star in "The 12 Dates of Christmas," almost 10 years after their run on the hit series "Pretty Little Liars" as Aria and Ezra. Now, the duo returns for a Christmas-themed love story.
"The 12 Dates of Christmas" follows Christina (Hale), who vows to go on 12 dates in the 12 weeks leading up to Christmas in hopes of finding "the one." It begins streaming Nov. 6 on Hulu.
On The Red Carpet celebrated the premiere of the film with the cast and crew. Hale and Harding shared what it was like reuniting during filming, which took place last year around the holidays.
"We picked up right like that. He is just as wonderful as he always has been. Still singing in the hair and makeup trailer and just like the kindest dude ever, like, he's a true friend," Hale said.
"We fell like right back into it, to the point where I think I had a hard time deciphering, like, 'Are these the lines, or are we talking?'" Harding explained. "It's a very natural film, because Lucy and I were just like, off the cuff most of the time."
When it comes to the holiday romance, "It's got like, you know, all the things you want in a Christmas movie," Hale told us. It's the first Christmas movie she's done.
"I think it's, it's playful," said Harding. "There's a bunch of different wild scenarios, but I think ultimately it's charming. There's a lot of, like, romance, but it's not like, sickeningly so. So it's like, it's the right amount of everything, especially for a Christmas movie. And the people in it actually like each other. So that's always a positive thing. So I think that comes through."
"The 12 Dates of Christmas" is directed by David Lipper and also stars Carter Jenkins, Kahyun Kim and Greer Grammer.
