Prime Reboot's first trailer is a nod to the 1999 film

After 25 years, multiple direct-to-video sequels and a failed pilot, a new generation is getting this Cruel intentions Treatment.

On Thursday, Prime Video unveiled the first trailer for the series adaptation of the 1999 teen film. All eight episodes debuted on the streamer on November 21st, bringing a familiar story of deception to a new location with all-new characters.

The trailer contains several nostalgic nods to the 1999 hit film, including a cheerful cover of The Verve's “Bitter Sweet Symphony,” a familiar black convertible, and an even more familiar rosary necklace with an unholy hidden secret.

Also in keeping with the original, the series features a very naughty bet between wealthy step-siblings Caroline Merteuil (Sarah Catherine Hook) and Lucien Valmont (Zac Burgess), who rule the Greek system at Manchester College, their university adjacent to Washington DC.

But when a hazing incident puts her charter in jeopardy, Caroline enlists Lucien's help in getting the U.S. Vice President's daughter Annie (Savannah Lee Smith) to swear off her sorority.

“You have to convince her as only you can,” she tells him, to which Lucien replies, “What’s in it for me?”

Caroline replies: “What you always wanted. Me.”

Created by Pheobe Fisher and Sara Goodman, the series also stars Sara Silva, John Harlan Kim, Khobe Clarke, Brooke Lena Johnson and Sean Patrick Thomas, who previously played Ronald in the original Cruel intentions.

The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television, Amazon MGM Studios and Original Film. In addition to Fisher and Goodman, Original Film's Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty also executive produce alongside Roger Kumble. Moritz produced the original film, which was written and directed by Kumble. Bruce Mellon and Andrea Iervolino and Monika Bacardi of Iervolino & Bacardi Entertainment are producers.

A modern retelling of the 1782 novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Cruel intentions (1999) saw Upper East Side step-siblings Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe) and Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar) make a bet over whether he can bed the new principal's virgin daughter, Annette (Reese Witherspoon).

The film followed Cruel intentions 2 (2001) – originally intended as a scrapped Fox prequel series Manchester preparation – And Cruel intentions 3 (2004), both of which featured different actors than in the original. Although NBC picked up a sequel pilot in 2015, with Gellar reprising her role as Kathryn and Kate Levering replacing Witherspoon as Annette, the series did not move forward.
