Cruel Summer finished its second season on July 31, 2023, and since then, fans of the drama series have been curious about whether or not a third season has been renewed.
Here’s all the Cruel Summer Season 3 release date information we know so far and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Cruel Summer Season 3 release date?
Currently, Freeform has not renewed Cruel Summer for a third season. However, fans can expect a release sometime in 2025 if the series is renewed.
The 2025 release date is due to the ongoing strikes by the Writer’s Guild of America and SAG Aftra actors. This has resulted in productions everywhere temporarily shutting down, making it possible that production plans for Cruel Summer Season 3 were also halted. Moreover, Cruel Summer’s executive producer Michelle Purple told E! News in an interview that a third season depended on the fans viewing Season 2 and making it a success.
This date is an estimation based on the information we have so far regarding Cruel Summer Season 3. ComingSoon will provide an update to this story once we receive official details on Cruel Summer Season 3.
Cruel Summer’s cast includes Olivia Holt, Chiara Aurelia, Harley Quinn Smith, Blake Lee, and Michael Landes for Season 1, and Sadie Stanley, Lexi Underwood, Griffin Gluck, Sean Blakemore, and KaDee Strickland for Season 2.
Where is Cruel Summer Season 3 coming out?
Cruel Summer Season 3 is anticipated to come out on Freeform by 2025.
The official synopsis for Cruel Summer Season 1 reads:
“Taking place over three summers – 1993, 1994, 1995 – in a small Texas town, a beautiful popular teen, Kate, is abducted and, seemingly unrelated, a girl, Jeanette, goes from being a sweet, awkward outlier to the most popular girl in town and, by ’95, the most despised person in America.”
The official synopsis for Cruel Summer Season 2 reads:
“Set in an idyllic waterfront town in the Pacific Northwest, season 2 follows the rise and fall of an intense teenage friendship. Approaching the story from three different timelines surrounding Y2K, the season twists and turns as it tracks the early friendship between Megan, Isabella, and Megan’s best friend Luke, the love triangle that blossomed, and the mystery that would impact all of their lives going forward.“
