Freeform Cancels “Cruel Summer” After Two Seasons
The ’90s set thriller series “Cruel Summer” premiered in 2021 and spawned a second season this past summer, but THR reports today that the series won’t be getting a third season.
Freeform has cancelled “Cruel Summer” after just two seasons, THR informs us. Additionally, “Good Trouble” has also been cancelled at Freeform after five seasons.
THR notes, “Sources say Freeform executives wanted to bring back both shows but the ratings for both Good Trouble and Cruel Summer didn’t justify the costs of doing so.”
Season One of “Cruel Summer” took place over three summers in the ’90s when a beautiful and popular teen goes missing, and a seemingly unrelated girl transforms from a sweet and awkward outlier to the most popular girl in town, eventually becoming the most despised person in America.
“Cruel Summer” Season 2 followed the rise and fall of an intense teenage friendship. Approaching the story from three different timelines surrounding Y2K, the season twists and turns as it tracks the early friendship between Megan, Isabella and Megan’s best friend Luke, the love triangle that blossomed, and the mystery that would impact all of their lives going forward.
The two seasons of “Cruel Summer” featured different casts and different characters, but followed the same unique approach of telling their stories across three different timelines.
You can stream both seasons of “Cruel Summer” on Hulu now.
