Cruel Intentions is a 2024 Prime Video drama series that reimagines the cult 1999 film for a new generation, relocating its tale of seduction and manipulation to the cutthroat Greek-life world of a prestigious Washington, D.C. university. Created by Phoebe Fisher and Sara Goodman, it updates a story ultimately rooted in Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's 18th-century novel Les Liaisons dangereuses.
Sarah Catherine Hook and Zac Burgess star as Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont, ambitious step-siblings who make a ruthless wager involving sexual conquest and social sabotage to protect their standing atop an elite fraternity-and-sorority system. The series trades the original's prep-school milieu for campus politics, hazing scandals, and the machinery of power among the children of the capital's influential families.
Arriving in November 2024, the series leaned into the glossy, scheming tone that made the original film a teen touchstone, drawing in nostalgic fans even as reviews were mixed. Prime Video ultimately did not continue the show beyond its first season, but it remains a notable modern spin on a durable story of desire and betrayal. It streams on Prime Video.
