Prime Video has debuted the first trailer for Cruel Intentions, the upcoming series inspired by the 1999 cult classic of the same name and Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ novel Dangerous Liaisons.
The series follows ruthless step-siblings Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont as they set out to do whatever it takes to stay at the top of the social hierarchy at their elite college, setting their sights on seducing the Vice President’s daughter.
Cruel Intentions 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 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, Khobe Clarke as Scott Russell, Sean Patrick Thomas as Professor Hank Chadwick, and Brooke Lena Johnson as Beatrice Worth.
Cruel Intentions premieres on Prime Video on November 21st.
