Get set to indulge in the salacious world of Cruel Intentions! Prime Video has released the official trailer for the 8-episode series, made twenty-five years (has it really been that long?) after the iconic 90's film of the same name.
The brief clip opens with Caroline Merteuil, played by Sarah Catherine Hook, narrating as she gets glammed up: "Being one of us means holding the key to any door worth entering. It's about getting what we want. And trust me, I always get what I want."
And yes, this time we're in for a new class of cruel characters taking their manipulation to the next level! Watch the trailer below plus read on to find out about the plot, who is in the cast and when the series will be released.

What will Cruel Intentions be about?
In this new adaptation, the series will follow the "elite students of Manchester College, a Washington D.C.-adjacent university where reputation means everything, fraternities and sororities are the gold standard, and two ruthless step-siblings, Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont, will do anything to stay on top of the cutthroat social hierarchy."
The official description from Prime Video continues: "After a brutal hazing incident threatens the entire Greek Life system, they'll do whatever is necessary to preserve their power and reputation - even if that means seducing Annie Grover, daughter of the Vice President of the United States. Hearts will be broken, loyalties will be tested and secrets will be revealed in this modern-day royal court that is Manchester College."
I mean, can this be any more exciting?
