Amazon Prime Video has acquired the distribution rights of Cruel Summer. This means that the thriller series will also release on the platform.
The story in Cruel Summer takes place during three summers in the 90s. A beautiful and popular teenager ends up missing, after which an apparently ordinary and quiet girl transforms from a sweet and clumsy outcast into the most popular girl in town.
Cruel Summer comes from Jessica Biel (The Sinner), Michelle Purple (The Sinner), Entertainment One and Iron Ocean Productions. Tia Napolitano (Grey's Anatomy) will serve as showrunner. The series will appear on Amazon Prime Video after its premiere at Freeform, which is set later this year. Entertainment One's Stuart Baxter has said the following about the series; “Cruel Summer is incredibly timely in today’s age of strong female voices, and unique in telling the story from dual perspectives, unravelling a dark mystery piece by piece. We believe this edge-of-your-seat, layered drama with international themes will appeal to audiences all around the world, initially on SVoD and then beyond.”
