"Pretty Little Liars" is confirmed to have seven seasons all in all. While some avid fans immediately got excited about the news as they will get to see more of their favorite TV show, other viewers initially did not like the idea at all. They couldn't imagine the mystery of "A" dragging on for the next two seasons. 

A fan took to Twitter to air her sentiments about the delaying of the "A" mystery and addressed it to creator Marlene King. 

King cleared out the issue and said, "Well I'd jump back in sooner than later. 'A' revealed sooner than later. #2015" 

While King's answer is not a clear indication of an "A" reveal soon, fans should be glad to know that the mystery will be tackled earlier than the seventh season. Plus, the early unmasking of "A" will give fans the opportunity to enjoy the series without having to guess who the mysterious character really is, says Carter Matt. 

In the meantime, "PLL" fans can fix their eyes on the male cast members. Ever since the show started, the men have been in a back seat while the four main female leads spearheaded the action and mystery. This new season, things are finally going to change. 

According to Carter Matt, the male cast will play a bigger role this time around. In fact, Tyler Blackburn confirmed this as well. 

"[Tyler] does some cool Hardy Boys-type stuff ... [Toby, Ezra] and I band together," Blackburn told TV Guide.

Fellow co-star Lucy Hale also agrees to giving the boys more action and screen time. She told TV Guide that "A" has proven to be a formidable foe for all of them. The girls could use all the help they can get. Additonally, the guys seem to be equipped with different intelligence and skills that can prove to be helpful in finding out who "A" is.

The winter premiere of "Pretty Little Liars" season 5 airs Jan. 6.
