Cruel Intentions TV show Caroline with the movie's Kathryn and Lucien
Despite being part of the same franchise and having the same premise, Prime Video’s Cruel Intentions TV show is very different from the 1999 movie of the same name. Directed by Roger Kumble and based on the 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses, by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, Cruel Intentions follows step-siblings Kathryn Merteuil and Sebastian Valmont , who make a bet for their entertainment that involves the daughter of their school’s new headmaster, Annette Hargrove .
✕ Remove Ads Annie being the Vice President’s daughter adds some extra “value” and a lot more risk to Caroline and Lucien’s bet, as one false move can trigger a major scandal. In the Cruel Intentions movie, Kathryn and Sebastian choose Annette as the target of their bet not because of her social status, but because Sebastian is bored and wants a challenge, and Annette wrote an article about being against sex without love.

Although the movie certainly focuses more on Sebastian’s sex life and how he tends to seduce anyone and then leave them after getting what he wants, Kathryn explicitly mentions that she enjoys sex.
✕ Remove Ads Blaise takes Scott Russell under his wing when he joins Alpha Gamma and they become lovers. As Scott is very naive and malleable, Blaise takes advantage and moves everything so Scott becomes President of the fraternity. What Blaise wants is to take the fraternity’s money, as he’s struggling financially and his parents owe money to the college, so he makes Scott sign checks.

CeCe truly sees Caroline as her best friend and does whatever she has to keep Delta Phi going and Caroline satisfied with everything around the sorority. To Caroline, however, CeCe is nothing more than a pawn, and she manipulates her as she pleases. Caroline doesn’t use CeCe for any revenge, but she does betray her.
