Pretty Little Liars has added a new character ready to stir up trouble for the second half of season 5. Find out all the information we have on this casting news.

It’s only been a week since the season 5 summer finale of Pretty Little Liars and we already have new information regarding the remainder of the season. It has been announced that actress Miranda Mayo will be the next beautiful girl joining the cast this Spring.

As of now we don’t know much about Miranda’s character, but we do know she is a chef named Talia and she is ready to bump heads with Emily. It seems as though Emily already has enough girl trouble on her plate (romantic or otherwise) so we’re not exactly sure where Talia is going to fit in.

Miranda is relatively new to the acting scene with only a handful of credits to her name that include The Game and an episode of Law & Order: LA.

There’s no word as to whether or not Miranda will be appearing in the Christmas episode but we’re going to go out on a limb and say it’s doubtful. The Christmas episode is slated to be a take on A Christmas Carol with Janel Parrish playing the parts of all of the ghosts.

The actress was quoted as saying, “Oh, yes, she’s going to have a fun part. She’s going to be the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future. She gets to mess with Alison, and in a fabulous costume, I might add.”

If December is too far away and you need a Pretty Little Liars fix, we’ll be able to see the Liars on October 21 for a Halloween special. Dubbed a “fan appreciation” episode, the cast and crew will gather together for an hour of answering fan questions.

What do you expect from Miranda Mayo’s role on ‘Pretty Little Liars’?
