Cruel Summer season 2 cast: Who stars in the Freeform drama?

Cruel Summer returns with an all-new season on Freeform. Monday, June 5 at 9 p.m. ET, audiences will be introduced to another thrilling and twisting story. Last season was a hit for the network, and we expect viewers will be just as enthralled by season 2.

As a reminder, this series follows an anthology format meaning each outing for the show will drop us into a plot that doesn’t connect to the previous season. The freshman run had us on the edge of our seats with a storyline centered in Texas but this time we’ll be headed to the Pacific Northwest to a small town called Chatham. It’s idyllic and abuts the waterfront, the kind of town where a major crime has never seen the light of day…until now.

Cruel Summer season 2, like its predecessor, follows a group of teenagers, in particular the intense friendship between two girls that rises to a high before falling dramatically and dangerously. Set in three separate timelines around 2000, the season is about the friendship between Megan, Isabella, and Luke (Megan’s best friend since childhood), the love triangle that blooms, and the impact of a mystery that changes their lives forever.

Who’s in the cast of the Freeform original? Here’s what we know!
