After 25 years, several direct-to-video sequels and a failed pilot, a new generation is getting the Cruel Intentions treatment.
On Thursday, Prime Video debuted the first trailer for its series adaptation of the 1999 teen movie, all eight episodes premiering Nov. 21 on the streamer, bringing a familiar tale of deception to a new locale with all new characters.
The trailer has some nostalgic callbacks to the hit 1999 movie, including an upbeat cover of The Verve’s ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’, a familiar black convertible and an even more familiar rosary necklace with an unholy hidden secret.
Also consistent with the original, the series features a very indecent wager between affluent stepsiblings Caroline Merteuil (Sarah Catherine Hook) and Lucien Valmont (Zac Burgess), who rule the Greek system at Manchester College, their Washington DC-adjacent university.
But when a hazing incident puts their charter in jeopardy, Caroline enlists Lucien’s help to get the US vice...

Sarah Michelle Gellar is glad that NBC passed on a TV series based on her 1999 film “Cruel Intentions.”
The actress discussed the reboot during a recent interview with The New York Times. The pilot was ordered in February 2016, but the network had passed on the series by October of the same year. Gellar would have reprised her iconic role as the manipulative Kathryn Merteuil.
But, ultimately, she agreed that the series wasn’t a fit for network television.
“Nothing against NBC, but ‘Cruel Intentions’ is straight streaming,” she said. “On the first day, I was like, ‘This isn’t working.’ It’s just not a network show. And if it is a network show, it’s not my ‘Cruel Intentions.’ So, I was actually grateful.”

The Cruel Intentions TV series never made it to NBC, and for that, its star Sarah Michelle Gellar is “grateful.”
The network initially ordered a pilot for the potential adaptation in February 2016, before ultimately opting against greenlighting the project in October of that same year. Now, in an interview with The New York Times, Gellar (who played devious step-sister Kathryn Merteuil in the 1999 movie and its unaired pilot) stated that the network and concept were simply not a good fit.

The Sarah Michelle Gellar-fronted TV series reboot of Cruel Intentions is, indeed, as dead as Sebastian Valmont (too soon?), our sister site Deadline reports.
As referenced in a recent Ask Ausillo, the drama — which NBC failed to greenlight in October — will not find new life at another network. Sony, the production studio, had shopped the project around this fall. Per Deadline, the cast’s extended options are up next week and won’t be renewed.

During a recent visit to the show’s set in Atlanta, I grabbed some time with the cast to get the scoop on what we’ll see this season and how it feels to still be on the air.
Brooke Elliott: We pick up with Jane in a frazzled state and for good reason. “Jane is incredibly frightened that Owen is dead or missing,” Elliott said since Owen had a heart attack after seeing Jane kiss Grayson. But that’s not all since a certain soul decided to return at the end of last season. “[Jane] also doesn’t know if Old Jane’s soul is in Owen’s body…if she’s not in Owen’s body,...
During a recent visit to the show’s set in Atlanta, I grabbed some time with the cast to get the scoop on what we’ll see this season and how it feels to still be on the air.
Brooke Elliott: We pick up with Jane in a frazzled state and for good reason. “Jane is incredibly frightened that Owen is dead or missing,” Elliott said since Owen had a heart attack after seeing Jane kiss Grayson. But that’s not all since a certain soul decided to return at the end of last season. “[Jane] also doesn’t know if Old Jane’s soul is in Owen’s body…if she’s not in Owen’s body,...

Drop Dead Diva returns Sunday at 9 p.m. Et on Lifetime for the fifth season that almost wasn’t. After a surprise cancellation, the series starring Brooke Elliott was resurrected after its loyal fan base got vocal. “We had never trended on Twitter, and within minutes of our cancellation, we trended off and on for two weeks,” creator Josh Berman says, noting that an online petition also quickly amassed 10,000 signatures and fans began cutting their own videos of the show to explain why the series was important to them and should return.

Josh Stamberg will be nowhere in sight in the upcoming season of "Drop Dead Diva."
The series regular has left his role as Jay Parker, a law firm managing partner, The Wrap reports. But his onscreen girlfriend Kim Kaswell (Kate Levering) will reportedly still be pregnant with Jay's child in the upcoming season.
According to The Wrap, Natalie Hall of "Pretty Little Liars" fame will guest star on the Lifetime series for two episodes as Britney, with details of the role being kept under wraps.
Aside from cast shakeups, the Josh Berman series had to undergo budget cuts in order to keep the show alive since "Drop Dead Diva" was canceled and quickly uncanceled earlier this year.

Everything was intricately and beautifully planned, but it was an unscripted moment that Kate Levering cherished most on her wedding night. "My husband got on stage and sang/played an original song he wrote for me and our unborn baby," the Drop Dead Diva star tells People. "It was a complete surprise and probably the most romantic thing he's ever done." Levering says new husband Reza Jahangiri's gesture left her as giddy as a schoolgirl. "Somehow he managed to have the band learn the song as well as the backup vocalists," she says. "I was like a screaming hysterical fan at an Elvis concert.

"Drop Dead Diva" survived its own brush with TV death earlier this year and now Lifetime has officially set the Season 5 premiere for Sunday, June 23 at 9 p.m.
That's right before the launch of the network's new series "Devious Maids" from "Desperate Housewives" executive producer Marc Cherry, and the same night the network's "The Client List" was expected to air its Season 2 finale (there's no official word yet if the Jennifer Love Hewitt series will wrap a week earlier or simply in a different timeslot).
As recently as February it looked as though "Diva" wouldn't be back, at least on Lifetime, after word leaked in January that the network had canceled the show. But a passionate outpouring from fans and some financial wheeling and dealing between the network and studio Sony Pictures TV led to a revival.

The Lifetime dramedy series Drop Dead Diva continues to pose the question of whether it is wise to tempt fate and destiny by trying to recapture pieces of a life that one has lived before. For Jane Bingham (Brooke Elliott), formerly Deb until she hit the “return” button at Heaven’s gate and found herself back on Earth — but in possession of another woman’s body — the desire to reclaim the life she lost has been overwhelming. Unable to bear the loneliness of her new life, Jane revealed her body-switch secret to her best friend, Stacy (April Bowlby), and is constantly fighting temptation to tell her former boyfriend Grayson (Jackson Hurst) the same thing. But at the end of the third season, it was not Jane’s indiscretion that may have finally revealed her secret, but Stacy’s.

Drop Dead Diva returns for a fourth season this Sunday, June 3rd, and I have a great giveaway to help celebrate. The surprise (to me… because it sounds crazy on paper) Lifetime hit held strong through three seasons, and it doesn’t look like it will be slowing down. Season four opens with Kim Kardashian in a guest role as a relationship guru Stacy enlists to help make sense of her life.
More importantly, there are a couple of new regulars joining the cast. Certainly not a show that is scared to mix things up, it looks like we’re in for a wild ride through the first few episodes.

Drop Dead Diva returns to Lifetime on Sunday (9 p.m. Et), and after three seasons of Jane (Brooke Elliott) pining for Grayson (Jackson Hurst) — the man she was engaged to as model Deb, before Deb died and her spirit entered attorney Jane’s body — the tables will turn. Last we saw Grayson, Deb/Jane’s best friend Stacy (April Bowlby) had informed him “I’m not Deb, Jane is,” and now, he’s the one smitten. The problem: Jane saw Grayson kiss Stacy in a moment of missing Deb, and she went to Italy with Owen (Lex Medlin), with whom she’s now happy.
