Prime Video Cancels 'Cruel Intentions' TV Adaptation After One Season

The series, based on the 1999 cult film and an 18th-century novel, struggled with poor critical reception and low viewership.

The 'Cruel Intentions' TV series premiered on Prime Video in November 2024 and has been canceled after its first season.
The show, inspired by the 1999 movie and the novel 'Dangerous Liaisons,' followed two step-siblings navigating power dynamics at an elite Washington D.C. college.
The series faced significant challenges, including a 24% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and its absence from Nielsen's Top 10 Streaming charts.
This adaptation followed multiple failed attempts to bring the story to television, including a 2016 NBC pilot and a 1999 Fox prequel series.
Produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, the show starred Sarah Catherine Hook, Zac Burgess, and Savannah Lee Smith in lead roles.
