Chrissy Metz, Alexa PenaVega to Star in First Faith-Based Films on Lifetime
Cable channel Lifetime Network has announced that they will introduce a collection of new Saturday night movies with a very special theme.
Each movie will be “centered on women facing unfathomable circumstances who use their faith to lead them through,” according to Lifetime.
The four films premiering in July will star Chrissy Metz (This Is Us), Alexa PenaVega (Spy Kids), Kat Graham (The Vampire Diaries) and Paula Patton (Precious), respectively.
First up on July 19, Metz will star in Faith in the Flames: The Nichole Jolly Story based on the true story of the devastating 2018 fire that ripped through Paradise, California. The movie stars Metz in the title role of hero nurse Jolly.
On July 26, PenaVega stars in Before Your Father Finds Us, the story of a woman who “must draw on her faith to hide her and her teen daughter from her violent ex-husband.”
On August 2, Graham’s adaptation of Terri Blackstock’s Christian suspense book Terri Blackstock’s If I Run premieres. Graham executive produces and stars as Casey Cox, a woman on the run after her best friend is murdered — and she is being framed for it. Casey “must turn to her faith to guide her through the obstacles before her,” Lifetime says.
Lastly, August 9 marks the world broadcast debut of Finding Faith, an acquired title following Faith Mitchell (Patton) whose “life is shattered by an unexpected tragedy and must rebuild her life through a journey of rediscovery, hope and purpose.”
