Previously, we reported that actors Sarah Catherine Hook, and Zac Burgess will feature as the leads in Prime Video's upcoming series adaptation of the 1999 cult film Cruel Intentions. On Tuesday, the streamer made a series order for the drama, announcing other cast members as well. 

Produced by Sony Pictures Television, Amazon MGM Studios, and Original Film, the upcoming film will have an ensemble including, Savannah Lee Smith, Sara Silva,  Khobe Clarke, John Harlan Kim, Brooke Lena Johnson, and Sean Patrick Thomas apart from the leads. Claire Forlani, Nikki Crawford, Isabella Tagliati, Zeke Goodman and Jon Tenney are recurring.

The new adaptation of Cruel Intentions will take place in Washington D.C., at an elite college. To stay at the top of the cutthroat social hierarchy, two ruthless step-siblings will do anything. They will stop at nothing to maintain their status and influence, even if it means wooing the daughter of the US vice president, following a vicious hazing event that puts the school's Panhellenic organization in jeopardy. 

The upcoming series comes from writers Phoebe Fisher and Sara Goodman, both of whom have worked on I Know What You Did Last Summer. They will also executive produce, along with Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty (Original Film) and Roger Kumble.

The original film, which was released in 1999, was directed by Roger Kumble and starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair.

A release date for the adaptation of Cruel Intentions is yet to be announced.
