The highly anticipated Cruel Intentions reboot series is now streaming on Prime Video, but before you watch the eight-episode first season, we wanted to get you familiar with the fresh ensemble of talent behind the new generation of schemers and seducers.

When a hazing incident jeopardizes the entire Greek Life system, they resort to extreme measures to protect their power and reputation, even if it means seducing the Vice President's daughter, Annie Grover.
Now, are you ready to discover who's who in this new television series adaptation? From the cunning step-siblings to the people caught in their web of deceit, let's get to know the cast of Cruel Intentions.

He has pretty much slept with the entire female population at Manchester College, but he has still yet to sleep with the person he's been trying to sleep with forever. That person is Caroline.
That's why he quickly agrees to Caroline's deal of seducing the Vice President's daughter and getting her to pledge Delta Phi Pi. If he does what Caroline asks, he'll get to sleep with her. But will he still want to go through with the deal after getting to know Annie on a deeper level?
