No details have been revealed beyond that, but it’s unclear whether the disagreements were about the show’s creative vision.<\/p>\n

In the entertainment industry, creative differences are not uncommon.<\/p>\n

Cruel Summer is a psychological thriller that follows two young women: Kate Wallis, the popular girl with a charmed life who one day goes missing, and Jeanette Turner, the nerdy wannabe who is accused of being connected to Kate’s disapp<\/a>earance.<\/p>\n

\n \"Martin's<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

All signs point to Jeanette’s guilt, but is Kate really who she seems to be?<\/p>\n

Set over three summers and told through shifting points of view, the series<\/a> challenges perception and follows how one girl can go from being a sweet outlier to the most despised person in America.<\/p>\n

The series stars Olivia Holt, Chiara Aurelia, Michael Landes, Froy Gutierrez, Harley Quinn Smith, Allius Barnes, Blake Lee, and Brooklyn Sudano.<\/p>\n

While Cruel Summer Season 1 had soft on-air ratings, it was a mammoth success digitally, where it was declared Freeform’s biggest show.<\/p>\n

The series premiere the network’s best-ever series debut among young adults, drawing an average audience of 3.81 million multiplatform viewers in the first week available.<\/p>\n

It was also the network’s best-ever series debut among Adults 18-49 (2.65 million) and Adults 18-34 (1.33 million).<\/p>\n

In its linear debut, Cruel Summer Season 1 Episode 1 had around 250,000 viewers and a 0.1 rating.<\/p>\n

Freeform announced a renewal ahead of the recent season finale.<\/p>\n

\u201cRenewing Cruel Summer for a Season 2 was an easy decision,\u201d Freeform President Tara Duncan said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the biggest series debut in Freeform\u2019s history and the audience response has been overwhelmingly positive. [Executive producers] Jessica [Biel], Michelle [Purple] and [showrunner] Tia [Napolitano] did a phenomenal job telling an addictive story that\u2019s tapped into the cultural zeitgeist.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m excited to see where they take the series next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Napolitano: \u201cCollaborating with Iron Ocean, our dedicated crew, charismatic cast, and our partners at Freeform and eOne has been the best first showrunning experience I could ask for.”<\/p>\n
