Grey’s Anatomy alumna Sarah Drew is set for a season long arc in Freeform’s upcoming thriller drama series Cruel Summer (fka Last Summer), from Bert V. Royal, Jessica Biel and eOne.
Drew will play Cindy Turner, mother to Jeanette (Aurelia). Although once the most popular girl in town, Cindy struggles to hold her family together while being in the crosshairs of town gossip.
Cruel Summer takes place over three summers — 1993-95 — in a small Texas town when a beautiful popular teen, Kate, played by Olivia Holt, is abducted and, seemingly unrelated, a girl, Jeanette (Chiara Aurelia), goes from being a sweet, awkward outlier to the most popular girl in town and, by ’95, the most despised person in America. Each episode is told from the POV of one of the two main girls, which will have the viewers’ loyalties constantly shifting as more information is revealed.
