Cruel Summer Season 2 E01 Preview: Megan & Isabella's Ride-or-Die Vow

With the Freeform series set to return on June 5th, here's a look at a sneak preview for Cruel Summer Season 2 Ep. 1 "Welcome to Chatham."

With the second season of Freeform, Bert V. Royal & showrunner Elle Triedman's Cruel Summer set to hit our screens beginning next week, today seems as about as good of a day to pass along a sneak preview for S02E01 "Welcome to Chatham." Previously, we were treated to some disturbing teases at a season that sees three different storylines playing out during the "Y2K hysteria" time period – including overviews, images & more. This time around, we see Megan (Sadie Stanley) and Isabella (Lexi Underwood) make a ride-or-die vow to each other that's just oozing with foreshadowing…

Here's a look at a sneak preview of the second-season return of Freeform's Cruel Summer – followed by a look back at what we know about the season so far (with the series set to return on Monday, June 5, at 9 pm ET with a two-episode season premiere):
