Amazon's Prime Video has officially ordered a television series adaptation of the 1999 film 'Cruel Intentions'. The eight-episode first season will stream on Prime Video, not Freevee, as initially speculated.
The main cast includes Sarah Catherine Hook, Zac Burgess, Savannah Lee Smith, Sara Silva, Khobe Clarke, John Harlan Kim, Brooke Lena Johnson, and Sean Patrick Thomas. Recurring roles will be played by Claire Forlani, Nikki Crawford, Isabella Tagliati, Zeke Goodman, and Jon Tenney.
The series is set at an elite Washington, D.C. college, where two ruthless step-siblings will do anything to maintain their social standing. After a brutal hazing incident threatens the Panhellenic system, they resort to seducing the vice president's daughter to preserve their power.
Sara Goodman and Phoebe Fisher are writers and executive producers, alongside Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, and Roger Kumble. Sony Pictures Television produces with Amazon MGM Studios.
This is the latest attempt to adapt the film, following a 2016 NBC pilot and a Fox prequel that became direct-to-video sequels.
