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.

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