Many fans of Cruel Summer assumed that Annabelle is not a real person but an alternate identity created by Kate when she was locked in Martin’s basement. The speculation looked realistic, considering viewers watched Martin lock Kate in his basement and not allow her out for a long period in the glances they saw. Perhaps this was Kate’s sole hope of surviving this ordeal.

However, in the last episode of the first season, viewers learn about Annabelle. But the theory proved not to be entirely true. Although there is still a possibility that the theory may not be completely wrong. But if it happens, It might have been an overly simplistic explanation.
