The show is based on a 1999 high school film version of The Taming of the Shrew with Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles.

In 10 Things Kat (Lindsey Shaw) and her younger sister, Bianca (Meaghan Martin), are new to Padua High School, and they have very different goals. Kat, a surly rebel, wants to be left alone, while Bianca, pretty and conventional, yearns to be popular — which means joining the pep squad and befriending the head cheerleader, Chastity (Dana Davis), who is rich, spoiled and mean.

A cute, slightly geeky sophomore, Cameron James (Nicholas Braun), takes one look at Bianca and falls in love. Larry Miller, who played Dr. Walter Stratford in the movie, is back as the strict father who won’t allow Bianca to date until Kat does. And if that isn’t enough to thwart Bianca’s social ambitions, Kat clashes with Chastity on the first day of school. Watching Kat leave, Chastity turns to Bianca and says huffily, “I swear, they will let anyone into public school.”

Kat also gets off to a hostile start with Patrick (Ethan Peck), a handsome boy with a smoldering look and an unsavory reputation so mysterious and scary that no one in school will go near him.

Meaghan Jette Martin stars with Nicholas Braun star in the series based on the 1999 film starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger.

The Stratford Sisters are new to Padua high, but they already know one thing: Strategy is everything. Bianca (Martin) is a beautiful social butterfly determined to climb the heights of popularity, at any cast. Kat (Lindsey Shaw) is a strong-willed, in-your-face feminist who is looking to save the world and get out of high school as fast as she can. But the sisters soon realize it’s never smooth sailing when you’re navigating through a world filled with duplicitous head cheerleaders like Chastity, love-struck nerds like Cameron and an over-protective Dad. Things only get more interesting as interaction with the school’s mysterious bad boy Patrick (Ethan Peck) start to shake things up.

10 Things I Hate About You airs Tuesday, July 7 @ 8PM EST on ABC Family.
