In development for many years, the Cruel Intentions series, inspired by the movie of the same name, will finally see the light of day. And it’s on Prime Video that you’ll find this new project, the streaming platform announced in a press release.
The eight-episode adaptation of Cruel Intentions is set at an elite Washington D.C. university and centers on a group of siblings who will do anything to stay at the top of the social hierarchy. When a hazing party goes awry and the university’s entire Panhellenic system is called into question, they will do anything to maintain their power and reputation, even if it means seducing the daughter of the Vice President of the United States.
Sara Goodman and Phoebe Fisher, who will serve as executive producers, say they are “We are so excited to get to work together to continue the legacy of Cruel Intentions, a film that remains beloved by so many —including us!”. They added, “we promise to make this next iteration as fun, irreverent, and boundary-pushing as the original…”
Who will be in the cast of Cruel Intentions?
While the movie Cruel Intentions starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Philippe, Reese Witherspoon, Joshua Jackson and Selma Blair, the series will welcome an all-new cast.
Prime Video has confirmed that the cast will include Sarah Catherine Hook (First Kill), Zac Burgess (One Night), Savannah Lee Smith (Gossip Girl), Sara Silva (American Horror Stories), Khobe Clarke (Firefly Lane), John Harlan Kim (Nancy Drew), Brooke Lena Johnson (You) and Sean Patrick Thomas.
