The end has come for Freeform series Cruel Summer and Good Trouble. The Disney-owned cable net has canceled Cruel Summer after two seasons and Good Trouble will end with the second half of its upcoming fifth season, Deadline has confirmed.
We hear Good Trouble will be given the opportunity to film some additional scenes for a supersized series finale episode to properly wrap up the series. Season 5B premieres on January 2.
The series were Freeform’s last remaining scripted originals following the November cancellation of animated comedy Praise Petey.
Set in an idyllic waterfront town in the Pacific Northwest, the final chapter of Cruel Summer followed the rise and fall of an intense teenage friendship. Approaching the story from three different timelines surrounding Y2K, the season twisted and turned as it tracked the early friendship between Megan, Isabella and Megan’s best friend Luke, the love triangle that blossomed, and the mystery that would impact all of their lives going forward.
The series starred Sadie Stanley, Lexi Underwood, Griffin Gluck, KaDee Strickland, Lisa Yamada and Sean Blakemore. Paul Adelstein and Braeden De La Garza recurred.
Cruel Summer hailed from studio eOne and was created by Bert V. Royal. Elle Triedman served as showrunner. Executive producers includedTriedman, Bill Purple, Tia Napolitano and Iron Ocean Productions’ Jessica Biel and Michelle Purple. The series was produced and distributed internationally by eOne.
The Fosters spinoff Good Trouble followed the 20-something residents of the Los Angeles co-living space, The Coterie.
In what now will be the final season, the roommates are set to face their toughest obstacles yet as they’re confronted with evolving relationship challenges and
