What is the plot of Cruel Summer?
The story of the series revolves around two young girls in the fictional town of Skylin, Texas, from their point of view. Its most notable feature is that each episode takes place on the same days of the same three years (1993, 1994, 1995). The series is about the kidnapping of the most popular girl in town and the events that followed.
1993: When everything seems right in the life of popular and beloved high school girl Kate Wallis (Olivia Holt), she is kidnapped on a date we don’t quite know yet.
1994: In Kate’s absence, Jeanette Turner (Chiara Aurelia) took her place in social life and befriended her friends and even her boyfriend. Long-lost Kate is rescued alive by the police from the home of Assistant Principal Martin Harris. In her statement and the interview she gave to the press, she explains that Jeanette saw her while she was imprisoned, but that she was still in detention because Jeanette had not informed anyone.
1995: After Kate’s statement, Jeanette becomes America’s most hated person and rarely leaves the house. Kate, on the other hand, tries to erase the traces of the trauma she is still going through.

What can we expect from season 2?
At the end of the first season of Cruel Summer, Jeanette and Kate realize it was Mallory, not Jeanette, who had seen her through Martin’s window and hadn’t alerted the police. Mallory later came out clearly and explained that she saw a woman with blond hair by the window, but did not understand that it was Kate. In the second season, we can see if Kate and Jeanette actually bury the axe, especially when the truth that Jeanette knew Kate was kidnapped runs the risk of being revealed. Also, the second season will likely explore Kate and Mallory’s relationship. Could their kiss in the season finale be the starting point of a love story? Is Jeanette a madman? Will she deal with the guilt of leaving Kate in the basement? And will Kate eventually learn everything? Let’s watch and discover.
