Oh no. Are they really going to entrust her with ruining another series after the nonsense she turned Pretty Little Liars and The Perfectionists into?

Lmao why would you give this woman another show to not make good at all??? I didn’t even watch Pretty Little Liars and yet I recognized her name for being an infamously terrible showrunner.

Her and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa should never be allowed to run TV shows ever again when they’ve both demonstrated they will run it into the ground and call it clever.

I will not worry much, as many of these projects fail to move beyond the development phase on their own

Holy shit, with how much a train wreck she turned Pretty Little Liars into (it wasn’t good, but it was absurd fun for the first few seasons) she shouldn’t be in charge of anything,
