If you\u2019ve already streamed the whole series and are wondering when season two is set to arrive, then you\u2019ve come to the right place. Read on for everything you need to know about Cruel Summer season two.<\/p>\n
Will there be a season 2 of Cruel Summer?<\/h2>\n
Yes! The Freeform series was renewed for a second outing in July ahead of the show\u2019s season one finale.<\/p>\n
\u201cRenewing Cruel Summer for a Season 2 was an easy decision,\u201d Freeform President Tara Duncan said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the biggest series debut in Freeform\u2019s history and the audience response has been overwhelmingly positive. [Executive producers] Jessica [Biel], Michelle [Purple] and [showrunner] Tia [Napolitano] did a phenomenal job telling an addictive story that\u2019s tapped into the cultural zeitgeist. I\u2019m excited to see where they take the series next.\u201d<\/p>\n
While showrunner Tia Napolitano added: \u201cCollaborating with Iron Ocean, our dedicated crew, charismatic cast, and our partners at Freeform and eOne has been the best first showrunning experience I could ask for.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am beyond grateful and excited by the amazing fan response to our show! Continuing to bottle Cruel Summer magic for a Season 2 is an absolute dream come true.\u201d<\/p>
Cruel Summer season 2 release date<\/h2>\n
While an exact return date for Cruel Summer has not yet been confirmed, the show\u2019s Twitter account revealed that season two would air in\u00a02022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Since the first series premiered in April, we predict that Cruel Summer season two will arrive on our screens in\u00a0April 2022<\/strong> at the latest.<\/p>\n Some secrets are too good to keep quiet. #CruelSummer<\/a> #Season2<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/0z2PNS5EFD<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Cruel Summer (@cruelsummer) June 15, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> While Cruel Summer\u2019s first season finished airing in the US in June, the teen drama has only just arrived from across the pond, with UK viewers now able to binge the whole series on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n You can watch all 10 episodes of Cruel Summer with a Prime membership (costing \u00a37.99 per month) or a separate membership just for Amazon Prime Video (\u00a35.99 per month). Find out more by checking out our Amazon Prime Video price guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n With season two set for release next year, it\u2019s likely that any new episodes will also find a home on Amazon Prime Video in the UK.<\/p>\n We\u2019re likely to see Olivia Holt (Kate Wallis), Chiara Aurelia (Jeanette Turner), Froy Gutierrez (Jamie Henson), Harley Quinn Smith (Mallory Higgins), Brooklyn Sudano (Angela Prescott), Allius Barnes (Vince Fuller), Nathaniel Ashton (Ben Hallowell) and Michael Landes (Greg Turner) reprise their character for a second season.<\/p>\n As for Blake Lee however, it\u2019s unlikely he\u2019ll return as Martin Harris considering the character died in the very first episode, returning in flashbacks from that point onwards.<\/p>\n *Spoilers ahead for season one*<\/strong><\/p>\n At the end of Cruel Summer\u2019s first season, Jeanette and Kate both realise that it was Mallory who\u2019d spotted her in Martin\u2019s window and not Jeanette, who Kate had accused of seeing she\u2019d been kidnapped and failing to alert the authorities. Mallory later comes clean by explaining that she spotted a blonde woman in Martin\u2019s window but didn\u2019t realise it was Kate.<\/p>\n While it turned out that Jeanette wasn\u2019t lying about not seeing Kate while she was being held captive, at the end of the episode we learn that she did hear Kate begging for help when she broke into Martin\u2019s house in 1994, but chose not to do anything.<\/p>\n In a second series, we\u2019re likely to see whether Jeanette and Kate have truly buried the hatchet, especially when the fact that Jeanette knew Kate had been kidnapped is at risk of being revealed.<\/p>\n Similarly, season two will probably explore the relationship between Kate and her best friend Mallory, with whom she shared a kiss in the season finale. What it just a spur of the moment snog or the beginnings of a promising romance?<\/p>\n Freeform is yet to release a trailer for Cruel Summer\u2019s second season, however the show did tease the upcoming series with a short recap video on Twitter.<\/p>\n Cruel Summer is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
