Is Emily moving to Texas? What will Spencer tell her big sis about Ian’s antics? We’re in Burbank, Ca. with Shay Mitchell and Troian Bellisario to get the latest on the new season of “Pretty Little Liars” starting on June 14 on ABC Family.

TeenTelevision: Tell us what you can tell us without getting in trouble with your bosses. We know we pick up with where last season left off and we’re wondering about Ian’s fate. What else?
Shay: Yes. I guess the big thing is just finding out what really happened to Ian. Is it he dead? Is he alive? And, if so, how did he manage that?

TeenTelevision: We know a therapist is coming into the mix so are the girls going to maybe clash over what to tell he and maybe to reveal anything to her?
Troian: Definitely. I think when you’ve all shared a traumatic experience but you all have very different opinions on where you stand, how far you are into wanting to let it go or wanting to rehash it? Doing something like therapy together is a really stifling experience. And especially because the girls have so much to lose and so many secrets with each other. They have to work through that. Or decide if they’re going to let that go.

TeenTelevision: What sort of new things are happening for each of your characters?
Shay: I would say that Emily is moving. She’s packing up. I think, with her, it’s always been divide and conquer. She’s kind of wanting to separate the girls and give them alone time to kind of mess with them individually. So they don’t have their group of girls to fall back on for a little bit. So, where is she going? Is it Texas? I don’t know. I do know but I can’t say but she’ll be connected even if she moves. “A” still wants her in the game.

TeenTelevision: Troian, Spencer was in a car accident with her sister. What’s up with that?
Troian: Spencer wasn’t really hurt and she was more concerned about her sister being pregnant. So when you come back, since it is literally moments later and we’ve seen my brother-in-law try to kill me, the next time I see my sister it’s obviously, ‘Is the baby okay? How do I tell you that your husband that you think is missing actually is a serial killer and I would rather he dead?’ You know it’s a really fun, family episode (we laugh).

TeenTelevision: As you guys mature and the audience mature as the show goes on, is the show going to reflect that? Is it going to get even more edgy as time goes by?
Troian: I certainly hope so.

Shay: I think so. We’ve always pushed it a little bit. Pushed a little bit. It’s a lot more than what anybody really expected. They’re always like, ‘Oh my gosh, but you guys are on ABC Family. You’re doing this, this, and that’. I think we’ve even pushed it a little bit more for season two. And I think for season three and hopefully continuing, it will continue to push it as our audience matures and as the girls do.

TeenTelevision: What is it like off set when you guys are not filming? Do you ever pull pranks on each other? I think I hear Ashley is the real prankster.
Shay: We actually do hang out on set. We’re hanging out after this. To be honest, we are all really close friends. I think as far as prankster goes, jokester, whatever you want to call it, I think that would kind of be Ashley. She likes to make things fun on set. So she’s always joking around. And we’re always like, ‘What’s Ashley up to?’

TeenTelevision: Example?
Shay: Well, recently we were in the hair and makeup room and she pretended that our lovely hair lady burnt her. And so she was freaking out. I was there and I was freaking out. I’m like, ‘Oh, my gosh. Oh my, gosh. Ashley are you okay?’ And then she looks up and she’s like, ‘Ha, ha’. So, yes. Ashley is definitely the prankster when it comes to us four girls.

TeenTelevision: How is Shay’s love life going to develop?
Shay: At the beginning, obviously, Emily was discovering who she was. And figuring that part out. And now that she’s become a lot more aware of what she likes and just who she is, she’s just kind of wanting to test the water out with these wonderful different relationships that she has. And unfortunately Maya got sent away. But now Paige and Samara are in the picture. But then again with Emily moving I don’t know if she really wants to start anything up that’s going to be serious that she’ll have to break again.

TeenTelevision: The show’s new season starts this summer so what is the most fabulous summer you’ve ever had?
Shay: I guess my favorite summer was kind of being in Vancouver and hanging out. My parents live there and I grew up there. So any time I can get back to Vancouver, especially in the summer, that’s always the ultimate. I mean boating, being outside. Just kind of hanging out on the beach. Put me out on the beach, I’ll stay there forever. Just really low key, beach bum, being with my friends. And, yeah, I mean nothing too crazy.

Troian: I love the beach and I also love traveling. So probably, I had a summer where I got to live in New York and I actually sort of panhandled. Well, I bussed. I bussed on the New York subway with my then boyfriend at the time. We actually started Shakespeare on the Subway and we were Romeo and Juliet. And we would enter the subway car. And it was actually one of the most terrifying summers of my life. He would start the scene at one end and people were like, ‘Oh my God. Crazy boy over here’. Until I started. And we’d chop down an eleven-page scene into the time it would take to go from one stop to another.

Shay: That’s amazing.

TeenTelevision: That is really cool! What was the weirdest response you got to that?
Troian: Well, here was the funniest thing. One woman, she was foreign, she kissed my hands. She hugged me. People would give us twenty-dollar bills. The funniest was we never got an adverse reaction. If people didn’t really like it they just kind of like sat. Because people in New York are so used to everything. There’s one guy, I’m sure he’d just been fired. He was in the worst mood ever. And he, I will try to censor myself because, ‘Damn it’, he goes, ‘This isn’t ‘Shakespeare on the Subway’. And we all stopped. We were in the middle of a scene and I go, ‘Actually that’s what we’re called’. And then everybody around us was just like, ‘Go on. Go. Go on.’ So we finished the scene and we got, actually, a standing ovation at the end. So that was probably my favorite summer.

TeenTelevision: So fun! How do you feel about Julian coming back as Wren? What did you think when you heard he was coming back.
Troian: We were so excited. We’ve been waiting for him to come back. And it was really funny. I’m such an olfactory person. He came back and I was like, ‘Oh, your cologne. Oh my God, it’s you.’ It was like I smelled him come up from behind. I was like, ‘I know that.’ But, yeah, it feels so cool to have him back on set.

Shay: Everybody loves Julian. I mean his little English accent is so sweet. I mean he makes all of us feel so wonderful. So I think it’s always great.

Troian: And he was with us in Vancouver for the pilot. He feels like part of our roots.

TeenTelevision: Is there an overarching shift or tone for this season as opposed to last one? Or is it just kind of bigger, better, more of the same?
Shay: Yeah, I definitely think so. Like it’s hard for me to say it’s bigger and better because I loved the first season. And I think it was so amazing, all the episodes. But really, even one further along, I’m just amazed with how the writers continue to push the limits and everything and add more of the intensity to each of the episodes.

TeenTelevision: Is it departing more and more from the books. And some book fans aren’t going to like it and some are just like, ‘Well, this is fine’?
Troian: It has to depart from them simply because we are making so many episodes this season. We made so many last season. We want to be able to kind of push and maneuver our way within storylines. And we want to save some of the really amazing plot points in the books, hopefully for future seasons. So really it’s just about we’re still staying true. Sara Shepard was wandering around the halls. And it was so amazing to see her. And she was so excited. And actually her mom was like, ‘I love everything you guys do on the show’. So if Sara Shepard’s mom is cool with what we’re doing then I think the fans can be cool.

Shay: We’re doing okay, then.
