'Pretty Little Liars' Invites Olympian Simone Biles and the Final Five to Visit the Set

GYMNASTICS-OLY-2016-RIOSimone Biles and the rest of the U.S. women's gymnastics team have been tearing it up at the Olympic games in Rio, snagging the team gold medal on Sunday, as well as individual gold and silver medals for Biles and teammate Aly Raisman in the all-around event last night. The Final Five, as the team have dubbed themselves, have taken the world by storm, and that includes Hollywood, too, where the gymnasts have plenty of rabid fans. And one of those fans had a pretty great offer for the Olympic champions.

"Pretty Little Liars" showrunner Marlene King reached out to Biles and her teammates on Twitter Thursday, inviting the Final Five to join her and the rest of the "PLL" cast and crew on the show's set once they're done with the games.
"Hey Simone! I heard you're a big PLL fan," King said in the video. "Well, we are huge fans of yours and everybody there. We're so proud of what you're doing in Rio. The Final Five, we love it. Come see us as soon as you get home, and bring your friends."

Biles replied with an enthusiastic "yes" (multiplied by a pretty large number, in case her excitement wasn't apparent).
King wasn't the only one from the "PLL" family who wished Biles well, with star Shay Mitchell also reaching out to the gymnast to offer her support and congrats to the superstar athlete.
Could Biles and her teammates -- Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, and Madison Kocian -- perhaps make a cameo on the next season of the Freeform show? We'll keep our fingers crossed.
