Trinity (UK)
Set in the gothic, oak panelled halls of residence and lecture theatres of the fictional Bridgeford University, Trinity College.
For over 900 years, Trinity has been an elite playground solely for the über rich and powerful. However, for the first time in its long and illustrious history, Trinity is about to throw open its doors to the hoi polloi! As new girl Charlotte and her fellow students settle in, they begin to realise that all is not what it seems at Trinity. Beneath the glamorous veneer of wealth and privilege lurks a much darker world, ruled by the mysterious Dandelion Club: a select group of over-privileged students used to getting their own way.
In the cutthroat corridors of Manchester College, where reputation reigns supreme and ambition knows no bounds, the new TV series "Cruel Intentions" unfolds a gripping tale that will leave viewers both captivated and craving more. Released on Amazon Prime Video on November 21, 2024, this adaptation brings a modern twist to the classic themes of manipulation and seduction first made famous by the cult film from 1999. Created by Phoebe Fisher and Sara Goodman, this drama dives deep into the lives of privileged students navigating their way through social hierarchies while grappling with dark secrets.
At its heart are step-siblings Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont, portrayed by Sarah Catherine Hook and Zac Burgess respectively. These characters are reminiscent of their cinematic predecessors but bring fresh energy to their roles as they manipulate those around them to secure their positions atop the college's social ladder. The dynamic between Caroline and Lucien adds layers of intrigue as they devise schemes to control not just their peers but also Annie Grover—played by Savannah Lee Smith—the Vice President’s daughter who finds herself caught in their web.
The stakes escalate dramatically when a hazing scandal threatens to unravel everything these ambitious students have worked for. As loyalties shift and buried secrets arise, audiences witness how far Caroline and Lucien will go to protect their power. Each episode reveals intricate plots filled with unexpected twists that mirror some familiar elements found in other hit shows like "Gossip Girl" or "Trinity (UK)". If you enjoy stories woven with suspenseful romance amidst social warfare, this series promises an experience that resonates with fans of those titles.
