Five episodes into Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin and fans saw a reference to the original series, resulting in theories that a Pretty Little Liars character would appear in the show. So, will Caleb Rivers visit Millwood and the new generation of Liars?

Episode 4 saw a Caleb reference that made PLL fans go crazy. So, how does this reference fit Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin?

The PLL Reference in Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

It all happened 31 minutes into Episode 4, The Fe(Male) Gaze. Noa (Maia Reficco) found a bottle of oxycodone in her mother’s purse, but the pill wasn’t prescribed to her. It was for someone else’s.

Who could it be? It was prescribed to a man named Caleb Rivers, played by Tyler Blackburn in PLL and the spinoff series Ravenswood. So, what was his connection to the new show and the pills?

According to TVLine, the idea of referencing Caleb in Episode 4 came from executive producer Lindsay Calhoon Bring, who pitched it to the series writer Katie Avery.

Bring knew it would be fun for fans to see this Easter egg in the series, explaining,

“If you’re going to show a close-up of a pill bottle, you might as well make it connect to the original series.”

Fellow EP Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa added he enjoyed seeing fans’ “passionate reactions” to it on social media, though he “forgot about it until the episode aired.”

He said,

“It’s funny to see the storm of fans guessing that Caleb has moved to Millwood.

However, he cleared Caleb wasn’t in Millwood.

He added,

“I pick up prescriptions all over the country, so in my mind, Caleb was passing through and needed to pick up his oxy.”

Will Caleb Appear in Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin?

Unfortunately, this will not be the case. Fans will not see any updates about him in Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.

Hence, he will not make an appearance here.

Instead, fans who want to know anything new about him should see the other PLL spinoff, The Perfectionists, where he and Hanna (Ashley Benson) are already married and have a baby on the way.
