The stars of the series said their goodbyes on social media.
Lucy Hale, who played Aria, posted a picture of the cast on Instagram.
She wrote: “For me to be speechless says a lot, but I’m finding it hard to find the words to express my gratitude to every single person that made this show a success. Sometimes simple is better and I just want to say… I will miss you Pretty Little Liars.”
Troian Bellisario, who starred as both Spencer and Alex, posted a lengthy message saying it had been “a rare and beautiful gift”.
She wrote of the experience: “It took me to days where I couldn’t stop laughing, and nights when I wished I could have been sleeping in bed, instead of running in the wet and cold for the umpteenth take at 5am but somehow we made it through and we had fun even then.
“Every moment with this cast and crew, in this town, every breath I took with Spencer, every text, dead body, new suspect, terrifying scream, new relationship and ‘kisses, A’ taught me something extraordinary. It taught me patience, and how to approach my craft, how to direct, produce, it taught me about collaboration, experimentation, risk, friendship, family, empathy, sacrifice and above all LOVE.”
