The new season of the popular teen show Cruel Summer is now under development at Hulu and Freeform. The series will feature actor Olivia Holt, who also serves as an executive producer for the third season. She will be reprising the role of Kate Wallis from season one of the series.
Cori Uchida and Adam Lash have boarded as showrunners and executive producers. Jessica Biel and Michelle Purple will once again executive produce through Iron Ocean.
Set in the 1990s, the first season followed the story of two girls: Kate and Jeanette. After Kate disappears one summer, Jeanette replaces her as the popular girl in school. But when Kate returns, it spells trouble for Jeanette, who gets blamed for her disappearance.
Cruel Summer was originally created by Bert V Royal, who departed the show in the second season due to creative differences.
The anthology follows different stories through each season with an entirely new cast and crew. The second edition of the show was not well received, with a cancellation from Freeform in 2023.
