NBC has decided not to order the drama to series, TVLine has learned. Though the pilot was well-received, we hear there are simply too many shows on the network’s midseason roster to keep Cruel Intentions on hold.
The pilot picked up roughly 16 years after the events of the cult-classic film, with Annette — now played by Kate Levering — raising her and Sebastian’s teenage son Bash in Ohio.
