‘Cruel Intentions’: First Trailer For Prime Reboot Includes Plenty Of “Bittersweet” 1999 Callbacks With New Cruel Characters
Premiering Nov. 21 on Prime Video, the 'Cruel Intentions' series reboot follows a new set of characters at Manchester College in Washington DC.
On Thursday, Prime Video debuted the first trailer for its series adaptation of the 1999 teen movie, all eight episodes premiering Nov. 21 on the streamer, bringing a familiar tale of deception to a new locale with all new characters. Also consistent with the original, the series features a very indecent wager between affluent stepsiblings Caroline Merteuil ( Sarah Catherine Hook) and Lucien Valmont ( Zac Burgess), who rule the Greek system at Manchester College, their Washington DC-adjacent university. A modern retelling of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Cruel Intentions(1999) saw Upper East Side step-siblings Sebastian ( Ryan Phillippe) and Kathryn ( Sarah Michelle Gellar) making a bet over whether he can get the new headmaster’s virginal daughter Annette ( Reese Witherspoon) into bed.
