Cruel Intentions TV Series (premieres late 2016)

[Lucas B. 1,459]

Last year, NBC ordered a pilot based on the 1999 cult teen film and it seems it will premiere late this year.

Sarah Michelle Gellar returns as the deliciously evil Kathryn Merteuil.

 

The plot:

The present-day “Cruel Intentions” reboot will center around the 16-year-old son of the late Sebastian Valmont (played by Ryan Phillippe in the film) and Annette Hargrove (originally played by Reese Witherspoon), named Bash Casey (Taylor John Smith). Upon finding his late father’s journal, Bash learns of the family legacy he didn’t know existed. In search of answers, he trades his small-town Kansas upbringing for a scholarship to the prestigious Brighton Preparatory Academy in San Francisco and soon finds himself in a world of sex, money, power and corruption he never could have imagined.

Also it follows the beautiful and cunning Kathryn Merteuil — the character played in the film by Gellar — as she vies for control of Valmont International as well as the soul of Bash Casey, the son of her step-brother, the late Sebastian Valmont (Phillippe), and Annette Hargrove (Witherspoon). Kathryn works in a youth rehabilitation movement and is also involved in a local private school. However, her quiet life is shaken with the arrival of Bash Casey, the son of the woman she wronged more than a decade ago

 

Reese won't return as Annette, so Kate Levering will play it.

Other characters include Kathryn's husband, Pascal Barrett (Coby Bell), and Cassidy (Samantha Logan), daughter of Naomi (Sophina Brown), Pascal's ex-wife.

 

Can't wait to watch it, Cruel Intentions is my fave teen film.

Surprised how it seems that none of you are interested in this.

[Jack 2,919]

Yeah I'm honestly not that interested, haven't seen the film but have seen some of those gifs... But since legend Witherspoon is in it I will def watch it but this series spin off sounds lame and will probz not be renewed for a second season

It does seem a little pointless, i'll give it a shot because i like the movie and i like SMG, but i can't see this lasting beyond maybe a couple seasons.

[TheBoss 13,477]

I'll see if I like it, I love SMG and her character is the best one in the film, but it also scares me that I don't know anybody in the cast besides Sarah. Hope it gets a second season tho, she deserves it, she's great actress

[HEARTCORE 18,969]

Did it get picked up? I think I remember NBC didn't add it to their summer schedule. So excited! Sarah is a wonderful actress and Katheryn is one of the best characters ever created. Will be odd without Reese though.

I don't get why networks are starting to adapt movies into TV shows that are supposed to go on for several seasons.

 

We have Rush Hour, then The Exorcist, and Scream. it's dumb

[Lucas B. 1,459]

SMG said we can expect an announcement for the next month and a half, i'm almost dying to know what they're going to announce.

I hope they say it has been picked up and will premiere late this year/beginning of 2017 or that it will head to netflix/hulu/other stream platform. I also expect they release a poster and/or teaser trailer soon, can't wait to see Kathryn back in action.

But there's a difference: in Cruel Intentions tv series we'll have SMG reprising her role as Kathryn and she's the soul of CI. So, I place my bets on this.
