This summertime, Freeform is heading back to the ’90s.
The network is debuting a brand-new ’90s-set mental thriller called Cruel Summer, which follows the disappearance of a popular teenager called Kate (Olivia Holt) and its influence on the unpopular Jeanette (Chiara Aurelia).
“All signs point to Jeanette’s guilt, but is Kate really who she seems to be?” the Freeform description checks out. “Set over three summers and told through shifting points of view, the series challenges perception and follows how one girl can go from being a sweet outlier to the most despised person in America.”
The trailer reveals 3 really various Jeanettes previously, throughout and after her experiences with Kate and asks, “Who do you believe?”
Cruel Summer is executive produced by Jessica Biel, who’s got some severe experience both in teen dramas (7th Heaven) and perception-based secrets (The Sinner), in addition to maturing in front of the cam.
