Cruel Summer Season 2 Updates: Cruel Summer, the smash TV show that became the network’s most-viewed series ever, will be renewed for a second season, according to Freeform. Freeform, previously ABC Family, is broadcast in 92 million homes in the United States.
Bert V. Royal wrote and developed Cruel Summer, which premiered on Freeform in April 2021. The series follows the circumstances surrounding Kate Wallis’ strange disappearance spanning three years, 1993, 1994, and 1995, and stars Olivia Holt as Kate Wallis and Chiara Aurelia as Jeanette Turner.
Kate’s kidnapping from the little hamlet of Skylin, Texas, sends shockwaves across the country. Kate’s life as the famous girl at school appears to be taken over by Jeanette, a social outcast.
