'Pretty Little Liars' season 7 spoilers, plot news: Series brings back Jason and Noel, introduces new detective
It will not only be Jenna Marshall (Tammin Sursok) who will be coming back to "Pretty Little Liars" for the mystery thriller drama's seventh season. The troublesome Jason DiLaurentis (Drew Van Acker) and the rich party animal Noel Kahn (Brant Daugherty) will also be returning to the town of Rosewood, while Vic Furey (Nicholas Gonzalez) will be the most recent addition to the series' roster of characters.
Showrunner Marlene King already previously teased about a "full" DiLaurentis family reunion, saying that the show was not ruling out the potential for Jason to show up which would make for a "very awkward" family dinner. Following this hint was a recent report from The Entertainment Weekly that Van Acker will indeed be officially reprising his role as Jason during the season 7 of "Pretty Little Liars."
Jason is the older half-brother of Alison (Sasha Pieterse). He grew up secretly resenting Alison and feeling jealous of her. He particularly believed that their parents felt that they "lost the wrong kid" when Alison supposedly died. Although the frequency of his appearance in the upcoming season of "Pretty Little Liars" has yet to be known, Jason's confirmed return is still another exciting twist in the show which fans can look forward to.
Daugherty's character Noel is also headed for a comeback on "Pretty Little Liars." An insider told Variety that it cannot yet be ascertained if Noel will be a good or a bad guy and whether or not he will be trustworthy.
Noel played the significant role of having been the one person who knew that Alison had been alive all along and even helped and worked with her. He was last seen in the fifth season wherein Spencer (Troian Bellisario) had to defend herself from him following his attempt to hurt her. Noel disappeared into the background after Spencer blackmailed him. Like Jason, it has yet to be revealed how many episodes he will be appearing in.
Moreover, "Pretty Little Liars" season 7 will be seeing the arrival of new homicide detective Furey. The show's followers will have to find out if the new police officer will have Hanna (Ashley Benson) on his list of cases as she is currently in danger in the hands of an unknown culprit as the season 7 trailer suggests.
"Pretty Little Liars" season 7 will premiere on June 21 on Freeform.
