The Hollywood Reporter -- Laura Leighton and Alexis Denisof have joined the cast of ABC Family's pilot "Pretty Little Liars."

Ashley Benson, newcomer Shay Mitchell, Jean Louisa Kelly and Nia Peeples also have been cast in "Liars," joining Lucy Hale and Troian Bellisario.

"Liars," based on Alloy Entertainment's series of novels, revolves around four teen girls -- Aria (Hale), Emily (Mitchell), Spencer (Bellisario) and Hanna (Benson) -- who begin to receive mysterious messages, seemingly from a girlfriend who disappeared three years before.

Leighton ("Melrose Place") will play Hanna's mother. Denisof ("Angel") will play Aria's father, with Kelly ("Yes, Dear") and Peeples also playing parents.
