《Dangerous Liaisons》(Dangerous Liaisons) will be released on Netflix, US schedule confirmed

Starz period drama Dangerous Liaisons will arrive on Netflix US on October 27, 2026.This is another work in Netflix’s ongoing licensing partnership with Lionsgate and Starz.The show originally aired in 2022 with only one eight-episode season and has been difficult to find on its original platform in recent years. This licensing brings it back to American streaming audiences.

The series was created by Harriet Warner and is based on the 18th-century novel by Pierre Chaudello de Laclos, while writing the story as a prequel to the relationships between the novel's characters.The original novel inspired the 1988 film starring Glenn Close and the 1999 teen movie Cruel Intentions.The drama version sets the time in Paris on the eve of the French Revolution and traces the acquaintance between the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont.

《Dangerous Liaisons》(Dangerous Liaisons) has eight episodes, and the story begins in the Paris slums.The two men, who would later become known for their manipulation of desire and power, began as passionate young lovers.The series uses their relationship to show how the characters will become what they will be in the future.The public introduction emphasizes the origin story of the two and does not completely equate the adaptation content with the existing plot of the novel.

Alice Englert plays the title role, and Nicholas Denton co-leads with her.Lesley Manville, Carice van Houten, Kosar Ali and Fisayo Akinade are also in the cast.The report did not explain the roles of the supporting characters one by one in the launch news. The confirmed focus is still on the relationship between the protagonists and the background of Paris in the 18th century.

The show's fortunes changed several times.Starz had renewed the show for a second season ahead of its premiere, but reversed its decision to renew the show during the first season, ultimately canceling the project.In early 2023, the series was also removed from the Starz streaming app.What Netflix has obtained this time is the authorization to broadcast the first season, which does not mean that the show has resumed production or received a new season order.

Netflix’s licensing partnership with Starz has brought titles such as Power, Hightown and Party Down to Netflix’s U.S. library in recent years.《Dangerous Liaisons》(Dangerous Liaisons) joins this sequence, providing a new viewing channel for this short-lived costume drama.This authorization only covers the United States. Users in other regions must refer to the local film library.

This time, the content licensed from Netflix, Lionsgate, and Starz is not a new version produced by Netflix.The original show's removal from Starz has left it without a stable viewing channel for a long time. The eight episodes of the first season will be re-available in the United States in October.The report did not confirm how long the show will remain in Netflix's recommendations or slate.

Based on past licensing cycles for Starz titles entering Netflix, such arrangements are typically time-limited.Reports speculate that the show may remain in the United States for about two years, but the platform has not announced a specific removal date.What has been confirmed is that it will be available on October 27, that eight episodes of the first season will be available, and that it will not be tied to a renewal.There is currently no official confirmation as to whether there will be any new production news in the future. Viewers can check it through the US page after it goes online.This authorization does not change the canceled status of the original show.
