Everyone get ready to be horny and angsty — Prime Video has announced its upcoming Cruel Intentions series, based on Roger Kumble's 1999 film.

The Cruel Intentions series will take place at an elite Washington, D.C. college (the film was set in NYC and focused on high schoolers), where "two ruthless step-siblings will do anything to stay on top of the cutthroat social hierarchy," which includes "seducing the daughter of the vice president of the United States." Politics and power! Intrigue! Seduction!

The cast includes Sarah Catherine Hook (First Kill), Zac Burgess (Totally Completely Fine), Savannah Lee Smith (Gossip Girl), Sara Silva (American Horror Stories), Khobe Clarke (Firefly Lane, Yellowjackets), John Harlan Kim (The Last Thing He Told Me, 9-1-1), Brooke Lena Johnson (You), and Sean Patrick Thomas (Till). Claire Forlani, Nikki Crawford, Isabella Tagliati, Zeke Goodman and Jon Tenney will also appear in recurring roles. 

"We are so excited to get to work together to continue the legacy of Cruel Intentions, a film that remains beloved by so many — including us!" said executive producers Sara Goodman and Phoebe Fisher. "We promise to make this next iteration as fun, irreverent, and boundary-pushing as the original, and are grateful to our partners at Original Film, Sony, and Amazon MGM Studios for trusting us to keep it Cruel."

Goodman and Fisher are executive producing and writing the series, while Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty and original director Roger Kumble will also act as producers. 

Cruel Intentions will premiere exclusively on Prime Video.
