What is Buying Back My Daughter about? 

Dana (Meagan Good) and Curtis’ (Roger Cross) 16-year-old daughter Alicia (Faith Wright) snuck out of the house to attend a party. This act of teenage rebellion quickly escalates into a widespread search spearheaded by Dana and the police. After almost a year of searching for her missing daughter, mother’s intuition kicks in and leads Dana into the world of online escort ads. This is where she, to her horror, finds her daughter, Alicia, for sale. Dana and Curtis spring into action, attempting to “buy their daughter back” to rescue her from the trafficker who abducted Alicia and caused her unspeakable harm. 

Ariana Madix stars as Karen, a police officer who helps investigate the case and has a personal connection to the story.

What is Black Girl Missing on Lifetime About?

When Cheryl (Garcelle Beauvais) gets into an argument with her daughter Lauren (Iyana Halley) over her desire to drop out of college, she initially thinks Lauren is simply ignoring her calls and texts. But, Cheryl soon realizes Lauren is missing.  While she attempts to get help from authorities and the media, they quickly dismiss the case, labeling Lauren as a runaway while they are all too consumed with another case – that of a missing white girl. Desperate to find Lauren, Cheryl and her 15-year-old daughter Marley (Taylor Mosby) enlist the help of a dedicated community of amateur internet sleuths to try to find Lauren. Cheryl also discovers the Black and Missing Foundation and is horrified to discover the disparity in how missing persons of color cases are treated with significant lack of media attention and law enforcement resources.

The movie also stars Linda Park, as Elise, a local reporter who tries to help Cheryl, against the orders of the news director. Following the movie, Lifetime will air Beyond the Headlines: Black Girl Missing, which sheds light on true stories of Black and missing women, features interviews with their families and focuses on the Black and Missing Foundation’s involvement in the cases.

The Girl Who Escaped: The Kara Robinson Story Synopsis

15-year-old Kara Robinson (Katie Douglas) was watering plants in her best friend’s yard in South Carolina when she was approached by a man who put a gun to her neck, forced her into a plastic storage container and drove off. He took Kara to his apartment where she was held captive and sexually assaulted for 18 hours. Kara memorized as many details as she could throughout the ordeal and when her captor was asleep, she escaped the restraints and fled the apartment. 

Thanks to her earlier instincts, Kara was able to lead police back to the apartment’s location and identify her assailant as Richard Evonitz (Kristian Bruun). It turned out Evonitz was a serial killer responsible for the unsolved murders of at least three other girls. Cara Buono (Stranger Things) portrays Kara’s mother Debra.

Immediately following the premiere of The Girl Who Escaped: The Kara Robinson Story is the premiere of the two-hour documentary special Escaping Captivity: The Kara Robinson Story, which features interviews with not only Kara herself, but her family, friends, and the law enforcement officers who aided the case. Elizabeth Smart and Kara Robinson Chamberlain executive produced the documentary.

How to Murder Your Husband: The Nancy Brophy Story on Lifetime 2023

Based on a true story, Nancy Crampton-Brophy (Cybill Shepherd), seemed to have a knack for writing about murder. The Portland-based romance-thriller novelist authored books about relationships that were tumultuous, while using seductive men on the covers to lure in her readers. Often, her books featured women protagonists who fantasized about killing their own husbands or fleeing their husbands and faking their own deaths. And then, in 2022 in a shocking turn of events, Brophy was convicted of killing her own husband (Steve Guttenberg).

Who Stars?

Cybill Shepherd

Cybill Shepherd as Nancy Crampton-Brophy

The 72 year old Tennessee native has been married twice.  Altogether, she has three children. Most recently, she was engaged to psychologist Andrei Nikolajevic but it was called off in 2015.

She promoted her Lifetime movie role on Instagram saying, “This January! Cybill’s in a “Ripped from the Headlines” TV movie in @lifetimetv biopic about #nancybrophy.”

Steve Guttenberg as the husband

Actor Steve Guttenburg

He shared a quick glimpse into his newest Lifetime movie with a post on Instagram saying, “If you like murder, January 14 on Lifetime is your jam.”

He recently paid tribute to his late co-star of It Takes Two, Kirstie Alley. “Kirstie met me at her house with a tuna sandwich on my favorite bread . ‘Steve, I know all about you and your love of rye bread., eat some tuna.”
We were rehearsing ‘It Takes Two’, and every day she amazed me with her generosity of the tangible and with her soulfulness. The world is a bit empty without Kirstie,” Steve wrote.

What is the Synopsis?

Jennifer Grey stars as the controversial religious leader and Christian diet guru who positioned herself as God’s prophet and preached the virtues of being thin in the new Lifetime original movie, Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation. As the founder of the Tennessee-based Remnant Fellowship Church and the Weigh Down Workshop – a massively successful Christian-based diet program that preached the virtue of a slim waist and the power of prayer for weight loss – Gwen Shamblin Lara was a rare woman to lead a Southern megachurch.

As her church grew across the nation, so did her iron-fisted grip as its leader— accumulating power and money, while creating a larger-than-life public persona with dramatically teased and towering hair. At the peak of her power and influence, Gwen demanded that church members alienate themselves from anyone who was not a member, banished those that became overweight, threatened legal action against dissenters, and advocated for strict punishment of those who failed to follow church tenets. But Gwen’s reign suddenly came to a tragic end in May 2021, when the plane that her husband Joe was flying crashed shortly after takeoff, killing Gwen, Joe, their son-in-law, and four other Church leaders.

The Movie Sypnosis – What’s It About?

Jaime King stars as Sherri Papini in the film about the nation-wide, shocking story of a young mother of two, who disappears while jogging near her home, leading to national headlines as concerned citizens searched for her whereabouts. When she reappeared three weeks later on Thanksgiving Day, Sherri claimed she was abducted by two Hispanic women who chained and repeatedly abused her. While Sherri’s return was celebrated, the state never stopped searching for her kidnappers.

Four years later, Sherri’s world came crashing down as evidence revealed her kidnapping was all a hoax perpetrated by Sherri herself to spend time with her ex-boyfriend. Sherri was arrested and ultimately sentenced to 18 months in prison for lying to federal agents, creating hysteria in the community and wasting police time and funding with her nearly successful, elaborate scheme. Matt Hamilton (Girl in Room 13) stars as Sherri’s devoted husband, Keith.
