Round One: The Originals Calls Out "A"
On Tuesday morning, Entertainment Weekly released an exclusive television promo for The Originals in which the vampy drama "mocks" ABC Family's No. 1 series and "urges Pretty Little Liars fans to change the channel."
The 30-second video featured many of PLL's infamous red A's in their baiting message mixed with clips from the freshman series. The full message reads:
"Is A making you angry? Agitated? Maybe the answer is on another channel. Head over to the CW right now and see what every one is tweeting about. It's time to ditch the old A for something that's absolutely badass."
Round Two: Pretty Little Liars Bites Back
The female-centered series also released message through their official Twitter account from the infamous "A." The photo featured a short message scrawled in A's signature red writing: "Bite Me" The art also featured the hashtags "#LiarsUnite" and "#Unoriginal."
