Cruel Intentions Is Back, and Claire Forlani and John Tenney Have All the Secrets

Claire Forlani (Meet Joe Black, Mallrats) and Jon Tenney (The Closer) sat down with Kyle Meredith to spill on Prime’s revival of Cruel Intentions, a 25-years-later TV series dripping with power plays, seduction, and a healthy dose of dysfunction. Forlani, who hilariously admitted she’s never seen the original film, dove into the psychological knots of playing Claudia, a narcissistic matriarch hellbent on control. At the same time, Tenney brought nuance to his turn as a congressman navigating fraught family dynamics. The duo riffed on everything from the series’ modern-day bite to the timeless messiness of bad decisions, with Forlani even teasing the possibility of Mallrats 2. If Cruel Intentions was your late-night guilty pleasure, this updated twist is primed to reclaim its crown.
