Prime Video has confirmed an eight-episode series order for the drama Cruel Intentions and announced the full cast.
As we previously reported according to sources in April, an updated take on the cult 1999 movie Cruel Intentions, which had been in development at Amazon Freevee since 2021, was picked up to series at the streaming platform, but there was a possibility it could shift to Prime Video, which now has been confirmed. Cruel Intentions will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The cast includes Sarah Catherine Hook (First Kill), Zac Burgess (Totally Completely Fine), Savannah Lee Smith (Gossip Girl), Sara Silva (American Horror Stories), Khobe Clarke (Firefly Lane, Yellowjackets), John Harlan Kim (The Last Thing He Told Me, 9-1-1), Brooke Lena Johnson (You), and Sean Patrick Thomas (Till). Claire Forlani, Nikki Crawford, Isabella Tagliati, Zeke Goodman and Jon Tenney are recurring.
The series adaptation hails from writers Phoebe Fisher and Sara Goodman, Sony Pictures Television, Amazon MGM Studios and Original Film.
In the new adaptation, Cruel Intentions is set at an elite Washington, D.C., college, where two ruthless step-siblings will do anything to stay on top of the cutthroat social hierarchy. After a brutal hazing incident threatens the entire Panhellenic system at their school, they’ll do whatever is necessary to preserve their power and reputation, even if that means seducing the daughter of the vice president of the United States.
“From the ‘90s cult-classic film to the 18th-century novel from which it was adapted, Cruel Intentions has captivated audiences with a story that transcends time,” said Lauren Anderson, head of AVOD originals,
