Here's everything you need to know about Prime Video's Cruel Intentions TV show — including why you should watch it despite its cancellation.
Why was Cruel Intentions cancelled?
Prime Video hasn't made an official announcement about why the series was cancelled, but per Variety, Cruel Intentions didn't make it onto the Nielsen Top 10 Streaming charts. Plus it only got a 24 percent Rotten Tomato score. Cruel indeed.
Where can I watch Cruel Intentions TV show?
Cruel Intentions Release Date
All eight episodes of Cruel Intentions dropped on Prime Video November 21, 2024. That means you can watch them all in one sitting (and then watch them again...and again). Is there anything better than watching a new TV show with a cranberry cocktail? I think not.
Did they remake Cruel Intentions?
Cruel Intentions Plot
Yes, the Cruel Intentions TV show is a remake of the 1999 movie! This new adaptation takes place at a prestigious college in Washington, D.C. Step-siblings Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont are determined to stay on top of the food chain — especially after a dangerous frat hazing threatens to eliminate the school's Greek Life. The best way to keep the sororities and fraternities on campus? Seduce the most unexpected sorority sister: Vice President's daughter Annie Grover.
Who's in Cruel Intentions?
Cruel Intentions Cast
Prime Video's new Cruel Intentions is full of standout actors, and I can't wait to see their moment in the spotlight! The cast includes:
- Sarah Catherine Hook as Caroline Merteuil
- Zac Burgess as Lucien Belmont
- Savannah Lee Smith as Annie Grover
- Sara Silva as Cece Carroway
- John Harlan Kim as Blaise Powell

The original Cruel Intentions movie stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair. Selma told Variety on October 24 that even though she hadn't been asked to join the series, she'd love to make an appearance. "Maybe there will be a cameo or something," she says. "I’m excited to see it.”
