“Cruel Summer”: Amazon Acquires Freeform’s 90s-Set Thriller Series Starring Olivia Holt
Amazon Prime Video has secured the exclusive first window worldwide rights, excluding the U.S., Canada and China, to the psychological thriller series “Cruel Summer”, reports Variety who adds that the series will launch on Prime Video following its U.S. premiere on Freeform later this year.
Produced by Texas Chainsaw Massacre‘s Jessica Biel, “Cruel Summer” takes 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.
“Each episode is said to be told from the POV of one of the two main girls (Jeanette and Kate), which will have the viewer’s loyalties constantly shifting as more information is revealed.”
The series stars Olivia Holt, pictured above, with Chiara Aurelia, Michael Landes, Froy Gutierrez, Harley Quinn Smith, Allius Barnes, Blake Lee, Brooklyn Sudano and Sarah Drew.
The back half of “Chucky” Season 3 will bring three more episodes to the table in the coming weeks, with “Panic Room” (Season 3, Episode 6) set to air this Wednesday, April 17.
SYFY has provided us with a sneak peek clip from the new episode this afternoon, wherein a wheelchair-bound Chucky shares his renewal of purpose with Henry. Check it out below.
“Everyone dies, kid. Some of us more than once. But I realize now, the point is, to make a difference while we’re here. To leave a mark,” a wheezing, coughing Chucky explains to Henry.
In the mid-season premiere last week, a dying Chucky placed a call to an imprisoned Tiffany, wherein Tiffany encouraged the killer doll to go out in a blaze of glory. That advice is sure to make these final three episodes of “Chucky” Season 3 quite explosive, as Chucky has nothing left to lose. And he wants to remind the world that he’s the greatest serial killer of all time.
But is old age really going to be the thing that kills off Chucky once and for all? Or will he ultimately find a way to defeat death one more time? We’ll find out in the coming weeks…
Watch new episodes of “Chucky” on Wednesdays at 10/9c on SYFY and USA Network. If you miss them when they premiere, new episodes will be streaming on Peacock on Thursdays.
