Cruel Intentions is an unaired television pilot produced by Original Film and Sony Pictures Television for NBC. The pilot serves as a direct sequel to the 1999 film of same name by Roger Kumble, which is based on the 1782 French novel Les Liaisons dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.

The Cruel Intentions pilot was expected to debut in 2016, but NBC opted not to buy the series. The pilot was directed and co-written by Kumble, with Neal H. Moritz, who produced the original film and sequels, serving as executive producers. It stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, reprising her role of Kathryn Merteuil from the film.[1][2]
