“Cruel Summer” is a suspenseful and mysterious television series created by Bert V. Royal. The second season stars Sadie Stanley as Megan Landry, Lexi Underwood as Isabella LaRue, and Griffin Gluck as Luke Chambers.
With new protagonists but the same style and new mysteries, this Prime Video series has already become a hit among young audiences.
Do you enjoy series set in small and charming towns where not everything is as charming as it seems? Stephen King turned this setting into a whole genre, and now “Cruel Summer” takes it up again to offer us this new vision with many flashbacks and intertwining stories.
Very interesting in terms of cinematography, with an elaborate script and a cast of young actors that make the plot worthwhile.
