Freeform is airing Cruel Summer season 2, as the network releases new episodes every Monday at 10 pm ET/PT (with a double bill of the first two episodes on Monday, June 5 starting at 9 pm ET/PT). If you don't already have Freeform in your cable plan, several live TV streaming services include it: Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, Sling TV and YouTube TV all offer the channel.
If you don't mind waiting an extra day for each episode, there's another option, as Hulu stream each episode on-demand the day after it's shown on Freeform. Hulu also lets you stream the first season of the show.
Hulu costs $7.99 monthly for its ad-enabled tier or $14.99 monthly for its ad-free plan, but many people opt to sign up to it via the Disney Bundle for $9.99, which gets you ad-enabled Hulu and also ad-enabled Disney Plus (with higher tiers throwing in ESPN Plus or losing ads).
