"Tomorrow, we will hear for the last time, 'Previously on Pretty Little Liars,'" King tweeted Monday. "It's been an amazing 7 year journey. I am forever grateful for our cast, writers and crew. We became a family. And we will always stay a family."
Bellisario, Pieterse and Combs, who played Spencer Hastings, Alison DiLaurentis and Ella Montgomery, took to Instagram to thank fans and reflect on their time on the show.
"Today closes the chapter on a very significant part of my life," Bellisario captioned a slideshow of photos. "Being Spencer Hastings in this crazy world is something I still don't quite understand, but I know it was a rare and beautiful gift. A gift that will continue to give for the rest of my days on this Earth. And I wanted to say THANK YOU to all of the people who gave it to me."
