Pretty Little Liars spin-off The Perfectionists has already confirmed the casting of its titular Perfectionists, but of course a show like this has a few twists up its sleeve.

Like the reveal of its new male lead, for example.

Today (March 16), The Perfectionists announced that British actor Graeme Thomas King will be playing the role of a "brilliant" young scientist called Jeremy.

Not only is Jeremy hiding a "shocking secret" – we'd expect nothing less from this show – but he also works at Beacon Heights' prestigious Hotchkiss Technologies, owned by none other than the perfection-seeking Claire Hotchkiss (Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford).

So we're sure that's going to go just swimmingly when the secrets inevitably start unravelling.

What to Read Next

The Perfectionists is based on Pretty Little Liars writer Sara Shepard's book, and follows the adventures of five high school students who bond over their mutual hatred of a school bully.

"Everything about the town of Beacon Heights seems perfect, from their top-tier college to their overachieving residents. But nothing in Beacon Heights is as it appears to be," Freeform's description of the series reads.

Alongside Pretty Little Liars stars Sasha Pieterse and Janel Parrish, Freeform's pilot stars Descendants actress Sofia Carson as Ava, as well as Sydney Park as Caitlin and Eli Brown as Dylan to form the main trio of the 'perfectionists'.

The Perfectionists officially began filming earlier this week with showrunner I Marlene King sharing some behind-the-scenes snaps of the production.
