Is Cruel Intentions starring Sarah Michelle Gellar on Netflix?

Sarah Michelle Gellar appears in the new Netflix original teen film Do Revenge in a high-profile cameo role, which brings the iconic actress full circle. She once led a campy teen film set at an elite prep school with 1999’s Cruel Intentions, and now she’s playing the headmaster of one in Do Revenge.

Cruel Intentions was a major influence on Do Revenge, especially after Sarah Michelle Gellar accepted the small but mighty role. The cult film stars Gellar as Kathryn, a rich and popular New York City teen who, along with her stepbrother Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe), make a bet revolving around sexual conquests. Reese Witherspoon plays the innocent new girl at the center of their scheme.

The movie, which became a surprise box office hit at the time of release, also stars Selma Blair, Joshua Jackson, Eric Mabius, and Sean Patrick Thomas in supporting roles. Gellar planned to reprise her role in a sequel series on NBC in 2016, but the network passed on picking up the series. A reboot series is currently in the works at Amazon Freevee.
