If you love your shows scandalous, salacious, and spicy, this one’s for you. Prime Video just revealed a first look at its upcoming series adaptation of Cruel Intentions.
The show follows a group of elite university students who will do anything to preserve their position at the top of the social hierarchy. Check out the first trailer for the series below.
Here’s the full Cruel Intentions description from Prime Video:
Cruel Intentions follows the elite students of Manchester College, a Washington, D.C.-adjacent university. At Manchester, reputation means everything, fraternities and sororities are the gold standard, and two ruthless step-siblings, Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont, will do anything to stay on top of the cutthroat social hierarchy. After a brutal hazing incident threatens the entire Greek Life system, they’ll do whatever is necessary to preserve their power and reputation – even if that means seducing Annie Grover, the daughter of the Vice President of the United States. Hearts will be broken, loyalties will be tested, and secrets will be revealed in this modern-day royal court.
The series stars Sarah Catherine Hook as Catherine, Zac Burgess as Lucien, and Savannah Lee Smith as Annie. Additional series stars include Sara Silva, John Harlan Kim, Khobe Clarke, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Brooke Lena Johnson.
Cruel Intentions is a new twist on the 1999 feature film starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair. Now, 25 years after the original feature captured audiences with its manipulative characters, Prime Video hopes to grab viewers for a new twisted story.
The series will include eight episodes and premieres globally on Prime Video November 21. Until then, check back to THS for more updates.
