'Cruel Intentions' showrunners Sara Goodman and Phoebe Fisher say they're open to movie alum Selma Blair appearing in season 2 of the new TV show.
"We're certainly not closed to it, but I think we have to make sure it makes sense," showrunner Sara Goodman says.Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out.
"I think is so much Cecile that to just bring her in as someone else doesn't work," Goodman says. "And Cecile has to have a role in our world. Even if it's for an episode, she has to have a role, so we'll have to see where that goes. We're certainly not closed to it, but I think we have to make sure it makes sense.
"It felt like there wasn't anything like this on television right now," Goodman says. "It really felt for us like there was a huge opportunity to tell a sexy, funny, boundary-pushing, irreverent story in a new world with new characters, just like. And in a new format. So when the opportunity presented itself from Sony and Amazon, I feel like both of us were hesitant to take it on only because of how iconic it is, but we could not say no.
Fisher adds with a laugh, "Sara and I both have a very similar taste in what we like to watch on TV, which is just ruthless, sexy mess. We just wanted to make our version of that to bring it back to TV."Harry Potter
