Amazon has today announced a premiere date for its upcoming original drama series Cruel Intentions based on the iconic feature film of the same name.
All 8 episodes of the first season will be available on Thursday, November 21.
In this new adaptation, the drama follows the elite students of Manchester College, a Washington, D.C.-adjacent university, where 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 that is Manchester College.
The drama stars Sarah Catherine Hook, Zac Burgess, Savannah Lee Smith, Sara Silva, John Harlan Kim, Khobe Clarke, Sean Patrick Thomas and Brooke Lena Johnson.
Sara Goodman and Phoebe Fisher developed the drama and serve as co-showrunners on the first season. They executive produce with Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty and Roger Kumble. Amazon MGM Studios, Sony Pictures Television and Original Film produce.
