We enjoyed witnessing how Harsh Summer lived true to its name by being cruel to all of its characters. Now, prepare to return to a world filled with nostalgia, melancholy, and intrigue, as Cruel Summer has been renewed for a second season and will return to Freeform. After its premiere in the summer of 2021, the show was an instant success for the network. In the 1990s, this Freeform phenomenon began rapidly accumulating fans with its crazily bizarre puzzles.
We were brought to a place where we were left madly speculating and second-guessing everything when the first season dropped over a year ago, but now that we know the second season is coming shortly, we could not be more delighted.
However, we have some potentially unpleasant news for fans to begin with. Those fans who fell in love with the actors and plot of the first season will not see any of it in the second season. The following season will have a whole new plot, cast of characters, setting, and timeframe. Despite the fact that not every detail regarding the second season has been published yet, we do have some information to share with you.
Here is all we know so far about the second season of Cruel Summer.
Is Cruel Summer Season 2 Release Date Confirmed?
Jessica Biel, the show’s executive producer, stated last year that additional episodes of Cruel Summer will air in 2022. However, no formal statement has been made on a particular day. Consequently, we may anticipate the release of the next season quite soon.
The show will return in 2022, although a definite date has not yet been announced. If we’re prepared to wager, the final project will be completed by late summer.
Until notice, you may watch the first season of Cruel Summer on Hulu or Candy, Jessica Biel’s upcoming true-crime thriller, when it premieres on Hulu on May 9.
Although characters and plots alter, tales differ from books, and release dates fluctuate, one thing is certain: our 2022 television schedule has thus far been rather entertaining!
Who Will Star in Season 2 of Cruel Summer?
Season two of the sitcom will have an entirely different cast.
Sadie Stanley was cast as Megan Landry, a blue-collar computer programmer, and honors student. Megan starts to live in the present and embrace her true self after meeting Isabella. Her long-held hopes are destroyed by a sad turn of circumstances, and she is left wondering whom she can trust.
Lexi Underwood, who will replace Eloise Payet, portrays the intriguing and mysterious Isabella, the daughter of foreign diplomats who are spending a year with the Landry family as an exchange student. Her charisma cannot conceal the facts about her history or the actual reason she came to live with the Landrys permanently.
Griffin Gluck portrays Megan’s longtime closest friend from a famous family, Luke Chambers. Luke finds himself at a crossroads as he attempts to build his own position in the world, apart from his strong father’s expectations.
Other cast members include KaDee Strickland as Debbie, Megan’s diligent single mother, Lisa Yamada as Parker, a successful singer who becomes more cynical as the world around her darkens, and Sean Blakemore as Sheriff Myer. Paul Adelstein will reprise his role as Steve Chambers, Luke’s prominent father who wields considerable sway in the community.
Cruel Summer Season 2 Plot:
The bad news is that we are leaving Skyline for a new location. Even the setting has shifted in season two.
The future episodes will be set in a picturesque seaside town in the Pacific Northwest and will track the growth and demise of a teenage friendship due to a difficult and convoluted love triangle.
Similar to how the first season was told from three separate timelines in the 1990s, the second season will be told from three different timelines surrounding the year 2000.
The season will focus on the relationship between Megan, Isabella, and Megan’s best friend Luke, with a mystery that affects them all in the future.
