According to Variety, Madison will play Imogen, who has been described as a true survivor. Like all of the Liars, Imogen is a final girl. She will drive the mystery of uncovering ''A'' as she fights for her life and the lives of her friends.
The 21-year-old actor will feature alongside Chandler Kinney and Maia Reficco in the series, which hails from ''Riverdale'' showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and ''Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'' writer Lindsay Calhoon Bring.
Aguirre-Sacasa’s Muckle Man Productions and Alloy Entertainment will produce the show in association with Warner Bros TV.
Like the original, the new series is based on the book series by Sara Shepard. Lisa Soper will direct the first two episodes.
