More about the possibility of Cruel Intentions season 2
A dramatic ending marked the end of Cruel Intentions' first season. The show focused on Caroline and Lucien, step-siblings who manipulated others to keep their position of authority at Manchester College.
In order to keep her sorority from being shut down following a hazing episode, Caroline had arranged for Annie Grover, the vice president's daughter, to join it. Caroline had given Lucien the duty of seducing Annie, but when Lucien started to feel something for her, friction between the two arose.
Caroline's plotting reached new heights in the season finale. She posted personal Lucien videos to damage his reputation and coerce Annie into joining the sorority. In retribution, Lucien slept with Caroline's mother and filmed the experience, which fueled their animosity. Meanwhile, Annie became aware of Caroline's manipulative behavior, which made her reconsider joining the sorority.
The Prime Video show will not return for a second season, despite the dramatic ending. Following the first season, Prime Video declared that the series would be discontinued. With a 24% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the program garnered negative reviews and had trouble drawing in a large audience. Amazon did not reveal audience figures. Thus, it was unclear how many people watched the series. Additionally, it did not make it onto Nielsen's Top 10 streaming lists.
The program will not go on due to its poor response and lackluster performance. Fans who wanted to see the plot develop were disappointed when Cruel Intentions was canceled by Prime Video, even though the season finale left space for additional drama. There were no plans for a second season. Therefore, the show stopped after just one.
Cast of Cruel Intentions season 1
Among the key cast was Sarah Catherine Hook as merciless sorority leader Caroline Merteuil. Playing Lucien Belmont, her similarly cunning stepbrother, Savannah Lee Smith plays Annie Grover, and Zac Burgess, a naive newbie trapped in their web of deception.
Sara Silva as CeCe Carroway, Khobe Clarke as Scott Russell, John Harlan Kim as Blaise Powell, and Brooke Lena Johnson rounded out the supporting cast. Appearing in the original 1999 movie, Sean Patrick Thomas returned as Professor Chadwick.
