Twisted Love Netflix series: cast, script and release date
Last updated:
Netflix is adapting Ana Huang’s Twisted series, and there’s a pilot script now. Here’s what’s confirmed, and why those cast lists you keep seeing aren’t.
Is Twisted Love being made into a show?
Yes. Netflix picked up the Twisted series in January 2025. (Variety, 9 Jan 2025)
Is there a script?
Yes. On 6 October 2026 Huang shared that she had received the pilot script. The writer’s name has not been made public. (Yahoo Entertainment)
Who is in the cast?
No one. Huang has said: “no one has been cast in the show yet. Any news to the contrary is false unless it’s directly announced by Netflix and/or myself.” She has also said chemistry matters most, and there’s “an argument to be made for finding fresh faces”. (Variety, 5 May 2025) Those posters with real actors as Alex and Ava? Fan edits.
When is the release date?
There isn’t one yet.
What is Twisted Love about?
Ava Chen wants a quiet life. Alex Volkov, her brother’s ice-cold best friend, wants revenge, control and, eventually, her. It is book 1 of the Twisted series, first published in 2021. On our scales it is Spice 4 and Dark 3. Spice and warnings for Twisted Love. Alex has a character guide.
