ABC Family Adds Scripted Drama Series

BURBANK: The Lying Game is the latest addition to ABC Family’s series pickups, following on the one-hour dramas The Nine Lives of Chloe King and Switched at Birth and the half-hour comedy The Great State of Georgia.

The Lying Game, a one-hour scripted drama, follows Emma, a kind-hearted foster kid who learns she has an identical twin sister, Sutton. Sutton, unlike Emma, was adopted by wealthy parents and is seemingly living an ideal life. After they meet, Sutton talks Emma into stepping into her life for a few days while she looks for the girls’ birth mother. After Sutton inexplicably fails to return, Emma must decide whether to come clean about her identity and risk her own safety in hopes of uncover her twin’s whereabouts, along with the truth about why they were separated in the first place.

The show is produced by Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. The Lying Game is based on the novel by author Sara Shepard (Pretty Little Liars).
