Freeform’s hottest summer show is back for another season, two years after the first outing left audiences reeling. Now with a new cast and a new setting, season two of Cruel Summer promises more mystery, more drama, and some romance too.
The latest bunch of episodes from the anthology series follows a brand new set of characters, primarily Megan Landry, described as a computer genius, played by Kim Possible‘s Sadie Stanley, and the exchange student who moves into her home Isabella LaRue, played by Little Fires Everywhere‘s Lexi Underwood.
With the coastal town of Chatham, Washington providing the geographical backdrop, Megan and Isabella develop a love triangle with Megan’s best friend Luke (Griffin Gluck), and the three soon become involved in a murder investigation after a body surfaces at a nearby lake. Season two won’t have time jumps as significant as the first season’s, as it takes place over the summer of 1999, the winter of 1999, and the summer of 2000.
What time and where does Cruel Summer air?
Freeform’s Cruel Summer airs Mondays at 10pm ET. Viewers can catch it on Freeform as it airs, but don’t worry if you can’t make it — episodes will all be available on Hulu one day after they air.
