Coming-of-age teen drama Cruel Intentions Season 1 was released on Amazon Prime Video on November 21, 2024. Cruel Intentions Season 1 is the TV adaptation of the 1999 movie of the same name but with a different storyline but almost the same plot. Amazon Prime Video's Cruel Intentions Season 1 has received positive reviews from fans on social media.
Based on the 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, the 1999 movie Cruel Intentions introduced the audience to wealthy and ruthless step-siblings Kathryn and Sebastian, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe. However, this time, Prime Video's Cruel Intentions Season 1 is with a totally different starcast. Since you have landed on this page, True Scoop assumes that you have already watched the series on the OTT platform and wondering about Cruel Intentions Season 1 College or Cruel Intentions Manchester College.
Cruel Intentions Season 1 storyline
Cruel Intentions Season 1 is the story of a college where high-class teenagers are studying. The students mostly belong to rich and influential families. The college has multiple student organizations, including Delta Phi and Alpha Gamma. While Delta Phi is a group of 'classist' girls, Alpha Gamma is a group of boys who mostly come from influential families. One student who joins the college is named Annie Grover and she is none other than US Vice President's daughter.
Delta Phi head Caroline wants Annie in her group so that her group can skip any legal trouble from college. Like the name of the series i.e. Cruel Intentions, the rich brats of Manchester College do everything with an 'intention'. The series showcases how sons and daughters of rich use innocent and relatively poor students.
