If you're looking for your next TV obsession then you needn't look any further than Cruel Summer, the brand new psychological thriller series that is now available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
Cruel Summer has gripped US audiences since it premiered on Freeform back in April, and now the teen mystery drama is finally out in the UK.
The show follows two teenage girls, Kate Wallis (Olivia Holt), a popular girl who goes missing without a trace, and Jeanette Turner (Chiara Aurelia), an awkward outcast who seemingly takes Kate's place as the most popular girl in town after she disappears.
What to Read Next
Episodes of Cruel Summer jump between timelines over a three-year period in the '90s – 1993, 1994, and 1995, with episodes alternating from the point of view of Kate and Jeanette in a nonlinear way.
Boasting mysteries and shocking twists and turns, Cruel Summer is sure to keep you guessing and hooked as you watch the truth unfold over the show's 10-episode first season.
Cruel Summer is available now on Amazon Prime Video in the UK. To watch, you'll need an Amazon Prime account that costs £7.99 a month, or £79 for a full year.
Amazon Prime includes a number of benefits, including a huge range of movies and TV shows from Prime Video, music streaming with Prime Music, free books with Prime Reading, Prime-only deals on Amazon products and much more.
