"We promised to deliver great content to our viewers in the way they want to consume it and, coming off the incredible success of the Beyond binge launch, we are excited to follow up on that strategy and launch Famous in Love with a full binge on the night of its premiere," said Tom Ascheim, president, Freeform. "Marlene King has created a world that has all of the intrigue, sexiness and wish fulfillment that is perfect for our viewers who love to binge."
Based on the novel by Rebecca Serle, Famous in Love follows college student Paige (Bella Thorne) as she gets her big break after auditioning for the starring role in a Hollywood blockbuster.
