Ina Marlene King, known professionally as I. Marlene King, is a writer, producer, and director. She is also the executive producer and showrunner on the ABC Family/Freeform teen drama Pretty Little Liars and its spin-offs, Ravenswood and Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists.

Life and Career

On March 25, 2019, it was announced that Marlene King had signed a two-year overall deal with the Disney-owned corporation, 20th Century Fox Television. It was originally reported as being Marlene's official exit from Warner Bros and, as a result, Freeform. However, these reports later proved to be false. She confirmed that she would not be leaving Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists behind despite her deal with 20th Century Fox Television. However, the show was canceled shortly afterwards, so Marlene is taking a hiatus from her career for the moment.
