The "Cruel Summer" Cast Reacts To Fan Tweets And Theories 

This show is literally a masterpiece, from colors, to acting, mystery, the style and the whole story

“Mallory is so sketchy” BUT MALLORY IS SKETCHY I AGREEE

This entire video is a Stan Vincent appreciation and I’m not mad abt it😂 he’s truly the only character I actually like

Y'all conveniently left out the most popular theory about how it's a two way mirror type thing and Kate saw Jeanette but Jeanette couldn't see kate

“The rest are up to too much” BIG FACTSSSSSS

As someone that got into Cruel Summer BECAUSE I adore Froy's acting and wanted to see more of it, I was compelled with and pulled towards Jamie's character right off the bat. I read into him a lot more than I probably should've and developed an INSANE attachment and empathetic attitude towards his character. As Froy said in a rewind for episode 6 (maybe?), Jamie coped with the trauma of losing Kate differently than most others around him. Not everyone is the best at processing trauma and their emotions, and though Jamie is a sensitive person, I don't think he's very emotionally intelligent. So, while he was busy self-destructing and hopelessly searching for his girlfriend, Jeanette served as a comfort and as an outlet for his intense yet unexplored feelings. Trauma brings communities together in ways that they otherwise never would have, which is seen with Jeanette and Jamie. They establish a bond and an understanding that Kate and Jamie never got around to developing because there never was a traumatic event that brought them together. Kate and Jamie seemed to be more of the cliche, appearance-based couple that only really dated because they were of equal status. Jeanette and Jamie were much, much realer and I think Jamie loved (even if the term is used lightly) Jeanette because he allowed himself to be more vulnerable and honest around her. I think losing two important people in the span of two years as you're developing had a massive effect on him that is often overlooked. Jamie's change in behavior and mentality from '94 to '95 is truly admirable and, if at all, he deserves credit for identifying the problem and trying to make amends. I'm still trying to understand why he was "stalking" Jeanette in episodes 1 and 2 (lmk if you do know), but I think that comes out of an inner-hatred and alliance with Kate. He very clearly cared for Kate, which is why it's so difficult to figure him out. I hope we get a little bit more of Jamie's story and how him and Jeanette came to be in episodes 8-10. Jamie is a people-pleaser, and though I'm glad he was held accountable for his actions and was forced to come to terms with that, I think it's easy to feel sympathetic towards him if you focus in on his character.

I love how everyone just adores Vince

9:26 oh wow. i never thought of the gun shot and annabelle being connected

this cast is so funny! i’m surprised olivia is so quiet.

Annabelle is definitely Kate’s split personality she made to help with the trauma stuck in the basement. Olivias face was blank and looked like she was trying so hard not to react in the wrong way each time they answered a question about annabelle in this 😂

I think both, Kate and Jeanette are liars and rightfully so, as we are all human beings. Love the Clerks reference. Love the 90's vibe as I was a teenager back then, and great cast! The gay dancing scene has been my favorite part of the show! Love it! Props to #JessicaBiel

“They cute” VINCE AND BEN ARE CUTEEEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Plot twist: Vince is actually more involved than we think and was the person that actually saw Kate but didn’t tell.

i love how that one person guessed it spot on

Okay but why do I not trust Mallory?

NOT THEM LAUGHING AT THE THEORIES😭

There was literally 3 theories and they just said how much they love Vince

Froy is so underrated bro. Ngl i had(still do) a crush on him, so thats why i watched the show, but then turned out to love the whole cast😭😭💐💓i love froy

Finally revealed that the gunshot Jeanette and Jamie heard was Kate shooting Martin. PS., I know this is Texas in the 90's but no one thought to atleast figure out where that shot came from?

Knowing what we know now, I gotta wonder if JEannete heard it, knew it was Martin's house and just assumed he killed Kate. Also when her friends revealed they found Kate, she seems so fake and almost hoping Kate is dead. Originally thought it was so she didn't lose JAmie but starting to think it's cuz she knew KAte could rat her out as a fraud

I really like this interviews vibe ! The 5 of them were so chill and funny 😌

2:05 honestly same. they're so cute, i love them 💖💖🥰🥰

what if Annabelle was sorta of a "character" mr Harris made her act like when she wasn't in the basement

BAHA THE BEETLEJUICE REFERENCE Also, this cast is perfect. And this show is underrated.

I feel that the show should be nominated for an Emmy Award next year.

The theory about Martin having an ex girlfriend named Annabelle who committed suicide would make a lot of sense. Since he couldn’t save her, he tried to save Kate and in during so created the “Annabelle” identity for her. But it would also be interesting if Kate used the character of Annabelle to disconnect from the traumatic situation. Either way, I hope the show chooses to explore dissociative disorder.

Some tweet: *I'm Team Jeanette no matter what-* Olivia's face: *you're gonna regret that*

They all have such beautiful smiles ☺️

I agree with the theory that Martin has lived or witnessed some kind of physical abuse exercised on a loved one, and put Kate in the basement to "protect "her". I think that Annabelle could be the name of his ex-girlfriend/sister that he deems he failed to protect. Mallory is so sketchy, she probably has something to do with all this.

Plot twist: Vince is Annabelle

The ending of the second episode was ✨immaculate✨ acting.

Love Cruel Summer ...Y’all have captivated my Summer...AMAZING CAST😍❤️😍

Mika abdala is cast in the show and she hasn’t appeared yet so I think she’ll either be annabelle or the girl from widow falls or whatever...but tbh I think the split personality is good but i think it’s been debunked now and I’ll be happy they didn’t use mental illness like that (even tho someone in her situation could definitely have gotten DID)

“I would let Harley destroy my life”lmao why is everyone hating on Mallory ?? She’s one of my favorite!! She’s so interesting I like her character

2:30 that's true. i've seen people saying that she could be a split personality of kate's

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!

*PLOT TWIST* It was Vince this whole time...

the end of episode 2 gives me chills too

5:52 i agree! everyone is sus to me and i only trust vince and like him the most

I can’t wait to find out who anabelle is!!

I honestly don't know what more this show could do in season 2 besides try to fill in more holes but we already know everything that happened so as much as I enjoyed the show, I don't see a need for a second season, though this does make me wonder what they will do for season 2. I wonder if they have the same cast but replace the characters like in "Tell Me A Story". Otherwise I guess they could delve more into Kate's captivity and how Jeannette's life changed after Kate's disappearence, but I kinda already feel that there isn't too much more we need to know. We know Kate fell for Martin and then when she tried to leave, he locked her in the basement. We know Jaannette essentially took over Kate's life and before she knew she was in Martin's house and that she left her there when she could have freed her or atleast called the police.

Ya seeing all these theory’s after knowing what happen s funny

0:33 ohh that's a good theory

This is a great cast great writing directing and producing.

Me over here having watched this show three times, to all these theories: "dayyyum, okay"

cruel summer is SUCH a GOOD show!!!

4:17 oh ok that's a good one

Spoiler!!! The way Annabelle was a gun is brilliant, they had everyone thinking it was kate's split personality.

This video was everything ommm

I’m actually team Vince 💅

I wish I had someone in my life like Olivia

Who feels that Froy is worried? Focus on his movements He is upset and uncomfortable i hope u r ok Froy i love u ):

Okay have watched each episode 99 times and I'm not playing want More Nowwwww

Lol Harley’s laugh 😂

Such a great show

Super CUTE..LOVE THE CAST

Before seeing the end of the series, my theory about Annabelle was that Martin had gotten Kate pregnant and the baby's name was Annabelle

Who else thinks Annabelle is Mallory

I just wanna see who tf annabelle is because i dont know who annabelle is

love this show and cast

Y'all better get it! 🙌🏽

the show is a success

Ok i need to watch this show

6:40 i felt that

Now we know the truth! Some were pretty close!

Hey it's Dagger from Cloak and Dagger..

5:04 that's true!

I swear Annabelle is Kate and she has D.I.D now from all the trauma, thats what I will believe until we are told differently.

i love them

Olivia's so quiet and sweet, I love her 🥺 Also after episode 8 I'm really starting to think Jeanette is just lying and it's that simple, but idk!!

saw the serie based on the soundtrack and the trailer, very well done by jessica biel , gave a little cold case sensation but spoiler alert , this could of been avoided if she went home , instead blaming jeanette , and the teacher

3:00 same 😂😂

IF I SEE A DREAMWASTAKEN THEORY IM GONNA CRY

They *purposely* didn't mention the two-way mirror one 'cause it's exactly what happened. 😂

Do they have cruel summer song by Taylor Swift in this show?

where is Derek???

SPOILAR AHEAD i love how everyone thought Annabel was a person lmao

Anabelle is definitely a cast member lol

HELLO!

🙌

Annabelle is going to be Kate and Martins baby that died because it was born too soon

this is soo awkwards, so obvious the cast isn't close at all

They’re so awkward

Am I the only one who hated Vince
