Prime Videos Cruel Intentions reboot series is off to a lackluster start, attracting a dismal Rotten Tomatoes rating that is barely half of the original movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. Serving as a modernized retelling of the 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses, plans for a TV show based on the 1999 film began almost as soon as it was released. While the earliest plans for a Cruel Intentions show would eventually morph into 2000s direct-to-video sequel, NBC would pass on a TV adaptation in 2015, only for Prime Video to pick it up in late 2021.
