While the highly anticipated Cruel Intentions television series was not picked up to series by NBC during upfront week in May, it still could be happening!
The cast, including the film’s star Sarah Michelle Gellar, have had their pilot options extended and the network is possibly looking at a summer 2017 debut for the series, according to Variety.
Other cable and streaming outlets like Hulu and Freeform have expressed interest in picking up the project if NBC passes.
“We’re still discussing it,” NBC exec Bob Greenblatt told reporters in May. “It falls under the heading of embarrassment of riches. It’s a bit of an outlier for us. There’s no other show like it [on our schedule]. We like it, we’re still discussing it and we’re trying to figure it out.”
