Amazon Cancels 'Cruel Intentions' Series After One Season

The adaptation of the 1999 cult film struggled with poor critical reception and viewership metrics on Prime Video.

The 'Cruel Intentions' TV series, which debuted on Prime Video in November 2024, has been officially canceled after one season.
The show was a modern adaptation of the 1999 film, itself based on the classic novel 'Dangerous Liaisons,' and set in an elite college near Washington, D.C.
The series featured a cast led by Sarah Catherine Hook, Zac Burgess, and Savannah Lee Smith, with Phoebe Fisher and Sara Goodman serving as co-showrunners.
Despite its high-profile source material and cast, the series failed to gain traction with critics, holding a 24% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and did not appear on Nielsen's Top 10 Streaming charts.
This marks another failed attempt to expand the 'Cruel Intentions' franchise on television, following previous unsuccessful pilots and direct-to-video sequels.
