Cruel Summer
From Executive Producer Jessica Biel, Freeform’s “Cruel Summer” is a psychological thriller that follows two young women; Kate, the popular girl with a charmed life who one day goes missing, and Jeanette, the nerdy wannabe who is accused of being connected to Kate’s disappearance. All signs point to Jeanette’s guilt, but is Kate really who she seems to be? 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. Produced by studio eOne and executive producers Tia Napolitano, Bert V. Royal, with Iron Ocean Productions’ Jessica Biel and Michelle Purple.
