We spoke with CruelSummer stars Sadie Stanley, LexiCUnderwood, and griffingluck on Season 2's insane twists and the complicated dynamics between their characters.
[Editor's note: The following contains some spoilers for Season 2 of Cruel Summer.]The second season of the Freeform original series Cruel Summer follows computer savvy Megan , foreign exchange student Isabella , and Megan’s best friend Luke , across three different timelines between Summer 1999 and leading through Y2K.
LEXI UNDERWOOD: That made it authentic. It was hard, but it was also authentic. Our characters don’t know what their fate is, and we didn’t know what our character’s fate was, so it was cool to be able to go on that journey with them. GRIFFIN GLUCK: At the same time that there were a million secrets on set, there were also no secrets. We were all filled in on like tiny bits and pieces of information, when we needed them to help our characters in that moment, but I never really needed to know whodunit. That was never an important piece of information for me, and honestly, it never bothered me because I knew we were gonna find out when we needed to find out. It didn’t really change things for me. Either way, I was dead.
Sadie and Lexi, unlike in the first season, where the relationship between the two young women at the center of the story was important but they barely spent any time together, you guys are really together for most of this. What was it like to figure out that dynamic, and to figure out three dynamics, across the timelines?
GLUCK: He’s hard to pinpoint. You never know exactly how he’s feeling. He’s confused. He’s figuring it out himself. So, bouncing between one love and another love, and how one affects the other, it’s fun because, as we were shooting, we were seeing it develop, and as you’re watching it, you see it develop. You see how these two people change him, and how he changes them. It was difficult, for sure, but it was great to have such good scene partners.
