Good news Cruel Intentions fans! It has been revealed that a new adaptation of the 1999 film is in the works and may be on Amazon Prime. Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Reese Witherspoon, the film follows two step siblings as they attempt to use manipulation and seduction against an unwitting target.

Since then, it has spawned a prequel and a sequel and there were talks of NBC picking it up for a series, but that did not go anywhere. Now, TVLine confirmed that Amazon put the series to order and will likely be on their Prime Video streaming service.

Originally, their Freevee service was developing the project, but now it is possible we will see it on Prime Video. Since the project was just announced, this could change.

What is the Cruel Intentions series about?

What we know so far is the series is focused on two step-siblings, who are described as being “ruthless” and are determined to keep their spot at the top of their college’s Greek life hierarchy.
