Marlene is much like Shonda and  Greg Berlanti... in the sense that they are one of few in their respective field who have made a name for themselves. They can attach their names to pretty much anything and more often not, have their changes increased at getting a pilot order or series order. In Marlene's case Freeform sees what has worked in the past for them. PLL was a cultural phenomenon in its heyday and as a result, its easier for them to put their faith and money into something from her than someone less.
