Rounding out the trio is Zac Burgess as Alpha Gamma fraternity member Lucien Belmont, the curly-haired mullet-clad Chuck Bass type who knows how to get what he wants.
Prior to Cruel Intentions, the Australian actor had a handful of smaller roles, including in the Netflix limited series Boy Swallows Universe.
Caroline’s right-hand woman and sorority social chair is CeCe, a “scattered genius” who also desperately wants Caroline’s validation. She’s played by Sara Silva (American Horror Stories, The Boys).
Their fellow Greek life students of note are Alpha Gamma senior member Blaise Powell (John Harlan Kim, 9-1-1), running his own set of schemes behind closed doors, and Scott Russell (Khobe Clark, Yellowjackets), a senator’s son who makes up for his lack of brains with boyish charm — and who is at the centre of the hazing incident.
And then for the non-Greek life major players, we have Beatrice Worth (Brooke Lena Johnson, You) — a noted sorority and fraternity hater who works in student media — and Professor Hank Chadwick (Sean Patrick Thomas, The Tragedy of Macbeth), a teacher at the university who will soon have a run-in with CeCe that might change everything.
Is there a Cruel Intentions trailer?
Yes, and there’s so much to unpack. In the trailer, we get our first glimpses of Manchester College and its various sorority and fraternity houses. Right off the bat, Caroline is in charge. “Being one of us means holding the key to any door worth entering,” she monologues. “It’s about getting what we want. And trust me, I always get what I want.”
She also sets up the stakes: Annie Grover pledging her sorority means Greek life won’t be kicked off campus for bad behaviour. And if Lucien can pull it off, his reward is Caroline herself. But who will end up in the crosshairs of their plot?
