The Lying Game Season 2: Confirmed!

Prepare for more scheming and plotting in 2013, ABC Family viewers. The network has renewed The Lying Game for a second season.

The new season will go into production this summer with a likely winter premiere date, as ABC Family touted the drama's ratings in a press release this afternoon.

The back half of the opening season enjoyed a surge in ratings of 28% over the first half in the female demographic of 18-34-year olds, helping the network to its biggest first quarter ever in almost all female age ranges.
