After 8 years in development, first at NBC and now at Amazon, the 1999 movie Cruel Intentions has finally been given a series order: 

Quote

Two ruthless step-siblings will do anything to stay on top of the Greek life hierarchy at an elite Washington, D.C. college. After a brutal hazing incident threatens the entire Panhellenic system, they’ll do whatever’s necessary to preserve their power and reputations — even seduce the daughter of the Vice President of the United States.

The upcoming series stars Sarah Catherine Hook (“First Kill”), Zac Burgess (“Totally Completely Fine”), Savannah Lee Smith (“Gossip Girl”), Sara Silva (“American Horror Stories”), Khobe Clarke (“Firefly Lane,” “Yellowjackets”), John Harlan Kim (“The Last Thing He Told Me,” “9-1-1”), Brooke Lena Johnson (“You”) and Sean Patrick Thomas (“Till”). Additionally, Claire Forlani, Nikki Crawford, Isabella Tagliati, Zeke Goodman and Jon Tenney will star as recurring characters.

Cruel Intentions is a TV Series with all 8 episodes being released on November 21, 2025 on Prime Video. Cruel Intentions is loosely based on the 1782 novel Dangerous Liaisons (Les Liaisons Dangereuses) by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos and moreso the Cruel Intentions movies, Cruel Intentions (1999) Cruel Intentions 2 (2001) and Cruel Intentions 3 (2004). 

The Cruel Intentions TV Series focuses on two step-siblings Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont, elite students deeply enmeshed in "Greek Life" at the elite Manchester College, in Washington, D.C. Their Fraternities and Sororities might be permanently disbanded due to a brutal hazing incident. The ruthless step-siblings are ready to do anything to maintain the power, reputation, and status that the "Greek System" holds in their collegiate social hierarchy, including a plan for Lucien to seduce the daughter of the Vice President of the United States, Annie Grover, who is a student at the university. Hearts will be broken, loyalties will be tested, and secrets will be revealed in this modern-day analogue of the French royal court.
