This is a long time from now, of course, but creator Marlene King also revealed that a special titled "Flash-Forward" will air on November 24.

Look for it to update fans on "some of what happened off screen during those five years to these characters," King teased.

Yes, the series is about to jump ahead FIVE years, with Alison coming back as a married woman and Hannah being engaged. To Caleb?

"It might be Caleb, it might not be," King teased. "A lot can happen in five years."

She did confirm the following, however: "Caleb, Toby and Ezra are still very much a part of our world when we come back in five years."

Meanwhile, all our favorites will be a part of the show's upcoming new mystery, considering A has (finally!) been identified.

"There's a new mystery. There's a little bit of old mystery dabbled in there, but not a lot," King previewed. "It's mostly new mystery. There will be a new Big Bad in their lives and a new mystery to solve."
