Following the season five finale of ‘Pretty Little Liars’, new twists are expected to come through in the hit ABC Family show.

Lucy Hale, who takes on the role of high school student Aria Montgomery, went over to the Fox & Friends studios in New York and spoke up about what comes next in the new season.

“… For the first time in the show, later on in the season, we’re doing a significant flash forward,” Hale shared. “The girls have been in high school for all six years the show has been on, so [I] get to act more my age!”

Aside from talking about the teen drama mystery series, the 25-year-old actress also shared her sentiments on raising awareness about meningitis among teenagers.

Opening up about a new campaign called Boost the Volume, Hale explains her goal of educating young individuals about such life-threatening disease, which can easily spread through respiratory and throat secretions.

In an interview with People Magazine, the actress and singer explained that, as most of her fans are teenagers, she feels the need to reach out to them the most and make them understand that they are at high risk for meningitis.

Although there are merely 1,000 cases of the disease being reported in the U.S. every year, patients can die from the bacterial infection within a short span of time, even in as little as one day.

Interestingly, by collaborating with Voices of Meningitis for the Boost the Volume campaign, Hale aims to help raise awareness by challenging high school a capella groups across Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and Portland to create a mashup song of "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors and "Good Life" by One Republic.

Whoever wins will perform the medley with Hale.

“…The whole foundation of all of this is spreading awareness about meningococcal meningitis, and I think we can really make a difference here,” the actress shared. “I'm just overjoyed that I get to be the person that gets to talk and sing about it."

The actress believes that singing groups are highly advisable at the moment as these have become a trend, considering the fact that the hit series ‘Glee’ and comedy film ‘Pitch Perfect’ both incorporate musicals in their stories.
