The sixth episode of Cruel Summer season 2 is expected to premiere on Freeform on Monday, July 3, 2023, at 9 pm ET (tentative time). The anthology series explores two different stories in its first two seasons. The first season focused on two girls whose lives are completely changed when one of them goes missing, following which, the other replaces her.
Meanwhile, the current season explores the friendship between two young girls and a complicated love triangle that they get involved in. The ongoing season stars Sadie Stanley and Lexi Underwood in the lead roles, along with various others portraying crucial supporting characters. Cruel Summer is helmed by Bert V. Royal.
Cruel Summer season 2 episode 6 will focus on Luke's birthday party in 1999
Freeform's official trailer for Cruel Summer season 2 episode 6 offers a glimpse of the various gripping and shocking events set to unfold in the latest episode. Titled The Plunge, the upcoming episode is expected to showcase Luke's birthday party, which takes an interesting romantic turn.
During the winter of 1999, Megan and Luke's relationship becomes more complicated and tense. In 2000, Megan gets a letter that could potentially alter the course of the story. Take a look at Rotten Tomatoes' description of the episode:
''In summer 1999, sparks fly at Luke's birthday party; in winter 1999, relationships are tested as Megan becomes more distant from Luke; in summer 2000, Megan obsesses over an interesting letter she received.''
Apart from that, not much else is known about the plot of the upcoming episode. The previous episode, titled All I Want for Christmas, focused on Isabella getting a surprise visit from someone from her past. Things continued to get more complicated during the winter of '99 as Isabella's concerns for Megan caused more drama.
As the second season is now past its halfway mark, it'll be fascinating to watch how Isabella and Megan's story unfolds throughout the rest of the installment. Freeform is yet to share an update on a potential third season for the show, but viewers can be hopeful for a renewal.
