Cruel Intentions Is Getting a Reboot

Cruel Intentions has become a cult classic in the past 25 years. In 2021, it was announced that a Cruel Intentions reboot show was in development. This was following a failed attempt by NBC to get a Cruel Intentions TV series going with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star reprising her role as Kathryn. Since then, news of the show’s development has been fairly slow.

Several cult films became widespread in the 2000s but as younger generations get older, many of them are missing out on these great films.

In April 2023, Amazon gave an update that confirmed that an eight-episode Cruel Intentions series had indeed been ordered. Since then, it was also announced that Sean Patrick Thomas would return for the TV series adaptation of Cruel Intentions. Hopefully, the Cruel Intentions series will continue its development swiftly and give viewers the fix they’ve been hoping for after 25 years.

Cruel Intentions is available to stream on Prime Video.
