Freeform Cancels “Cruel Summer” After Two Seasons

Cruel Summer Season 2

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.

In the wake of the five-season animated series “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous,” Netflix’s “Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” is stomping its way onto the platform this year.

“Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” premieres May 24, and the series is set six years after the events of “Camp Cretaceous.” Watch the official trailer from Netflix below.

While the other characters from “Camp Cretaceous” are back in the new series, what’s interesting here is that Jenna Ortega’s Brooklynn is not coming back. As the official “Chaos Theory” trailer reveals, Brooklynn was killed off between shows, with the character’s death kickstarting the “conspiracy thriller” events of this brand new Jurassic World sequel series.

Jenna Ortega had voiced Brooklynn for all five seasons of “Camp Cretaceous.”

In the CG-animated series from Universal, DreamWorks and Amblin Entertainment…

“Six years later, members of “The Nublar Six” are struggling to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them.

“Reunited in the wake of a tragedy, the group comes together only to find themselves on the run and catapulted into a global adventure to unravel a conspiracy that threatens dinosaur and humankind alike and finally learn the truth about what happened to one of their own.”

There will be 10 episodes in the show’s first season, running 22-minutes each.

Scott Kreamer, Aaron Hammersley serve as Executive Producers and Showrunners, with Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow, and Frank Marshall also serving as Executive Producers.

Speaking of Jurassic World, a brand new live action movie is also coming soon. It doesn’t yet have a title, but it’s releasing July 2, 2025, and Scarlett Johansson is in talks to star.
