Lifetime’s hotly anticipated Flowers in the Attic: The Origin is here, and fans of VC Andrews’ gothic family saga will love every minute of over-the-top drama! The limited series airs on consecutive Saturdays in July, starting tonight. You can also also catch encore performances Sunday at 10 pm and next Saturday, July 16, at 6 pm, right before the second episode airs. It’s also available on the Lifetime app and mylifetime.com.

Lifetime last brought Andrews’ bestselling Flowers in the Attic to the screen back in 2015. The stylish new series is adapted from the fifth novel, Garden of Shadows, a prequel that tells of bright, optimistic Olivia Winfield’s transformation into the cold, cruel old woman who imprisons her grandchildren in the attic.

In the first episode, Olivia (Jemima Rooper, The Girlfriend Experience), falls for handsome millionaire Malcolm Foxworth (Max Irons, Condor). After they wed, Malcolm reveals his true self and Olivia resigns herself to a lonely, violent life at creepy Foxworth Hall. Things seem to be looking up when Malcolm’s jovial father (Kelsey Grammer, Frasier) shows up with a very young new wife (Alana Bowden, Ride), but the good vibes don’t last. Over four chapters, Olivia encounters increasingly dark secrets (we’re talking obsession, betrayal, sexual assault, incest) and constructs a web of lies to protect her children, her reputation and, most importantly, the massive family fortune.

The story of Chloe follows Becky Green (Erin Doherty), who has become obsessed with following her childhood friend Chloe Fairbourne (Poppy Gilbert) on social media. Suddenly, Chloe turns up dead and Becky discovers that she called her the night of her death after years of silence. Wanting to find out what happened, Becky assumes the new identity of Sasha and inserts herself into the lives of Chloe’s high society friends.

Last month, SciFi Vision talked to cast members about working on the series, including Pippa Bennett-Warner, who plays the part of Livia, one of Chloe’s friends, and Brandon Micheal Hall, who plays the part of Josh, the one person who knows about Becky’s deceptions.

Tonight, Lifetime premieres the film Jailbreak Lovers, based on a true story. The movie follows Toby, played by Catherine Bell, a woman who always followed the rules, until one day it all changes. After losing her job, Toby starts a non-profit organization at a local prison to rehabilitate abused dogs. There she meets inmate John, played by Tom Stevens, and falls in love. After hatching a plan, Toby helps John break out of prison by smuggling him out in a dog crate, and the two go on the run.

Bell and Stevens recently talked to the press about working on the film, telling SciFi Vision about what they pulled from the characters’ real-life counterparts versus what they were able to add creatively. For Bell, there was more to draw from “[I] had a lot of interviews,” said the actress, “and I watched all the ones that I could find of Toby. Obviously, I don’t look anything like her, so I gave that up quickly, but there’s an essence to her that I tried to get. You know, just she’s got that little bit of the Kansas accent and just this sweet woman who really just was totally taken by surprise by this guy, and it just completely altered the course of her life.  But, yeah, it was a lot of fun trying to become this woman who is very different than myself.”

Becoming Elizabeth, which recently premiered on Starz, tells the story of young Elizabeth Tudor (Alicia von Rittberg), before she rose to the throne. Although the story of the queen is well known, this is something new, according to actor Tom Cullen, who plays the character of Thomas Seymour. “[T]o be honest,” the actor told SciFi Vision, “this is a part of the history that I didn't know anything about, really, and I can't believe it. There's so much out there about Elizabeth, the first one of the most iconic characters in history, but nothing really about this period in her life, which I think is so informative as the person that she became. It was a real honor to kind of get into that and get a chance to tell that part of her story.”

Earlier in the month, the third season of Seth MacFarlane’s dramedy The Orville: New Horizons premiered on Hulu. Earlier in the season, SciFi Vision spoke exclusively with cast members Peter Macon, who plays Lieutenant Commander Bortus, and Chad Coleman who plays Klyden, Bortus’s mate, about working on the epic space adventure and what’s to come for their characters. “Without giving anything specific away,” teased Macon, “I will say that the journey of Klyden and Bortus and Topa (Blesson Yates) deepens. There's, there's still a lot to mine. I think that the seeds that we planted, whether they're seeds of discord or seeds of growth, will come into fruition. We will definitely see what happens to them. So, I think that that'll be deeply gratifying to our fans, because I was just playing the role, playing a part, [and] I was really gratified with the journey. So, look out for that for sure.”

Announced earlier in the week to be already renewed for a second season, AMC’s Dark Winds is a western noir crime thriller that takes place in 1971 on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation. The series, based on the Leaphorn & Chee book series by Tony Hillerman, follows Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) as he investigates seemingly unrelated crimes including multiple murders and an armored truck robbery. He is joined by Sergeant Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten) and his new deputy, Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon).

The cast was excited to be involved. “It's pretty simple,” star McClarnon told SciFi Vision. “George R.R. Martin, Tony Hillerman, Robert Redford, Tina Elmo, Chris Eyre, just a great team that was put together that came to me in 2020, 2019 I think it was. Chris Eyre came to me and asked me if I wanted to be involved.”

Tomorrow an all-new season of Westworld premieres on HBO. Season three of the series really changed the format, moving outside the park and focusing on the control of humans more so than the hosts and their freedom. Season four continues the narrative with Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson), a version of Dolores, who, as Maeve points out, turns out to be worse than Wyatt, and she is hellbent on revenge on humans. The host of William (Ed Harris) is also thrown into the mix, influencing the powerful and leaving bodies in his wake.

When we pick up with the story after a seven-year time jump, Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) is not Dolores, but rather Christina, lost living her life day after day, writing storylines for non-playing game characters (oh the irony), unsatisfied with what’s missing in her life.

Caleb (Aaron Paul)’s life has also changed, married with a child, but still living with paranoia, which serves him well when his family is threatened. He teams up with Maeve (Thandiwe Newton) who’s been living as a recluse in peace until it all comes crashing down.

Today the BBC One series, Chloe, comes to Prime Video. The series follows Becky Green, played by Erin Doherty, who has become obsessed with stalking Chloe (Poppy Gilbert), her childhood friend on social media, who’s life in high society she thinks is perfect. When Chloe suddenly turns up dead after trying to contact Becky for the first time in years, Becky creates a new identity, Sasha, and insinuates herself into the lives of Chloe’s friends to find out the truth.

Although Doherty essentially plays two characters, the actress always approached it as different parts of Becky. “When we were shooting,” Doherty told SciFi Vision, “[people] were like, ‘Oh, this is a Becky day, or this is a Sasha day.’ For me, I never quite understood that, because I think what I found so fascinating about the story and the character was that this is all happening within one human being. All these things are possible and are made possible by this one person, and I think I didn't separate it. I found that to be the most exciting aspect of [her]. I think I find that the most exciting aspect of most people, why we switch and flip and how we have these infinite potentials within us. And I think Becky surprises herself.

Today, the third episode of Seth MacFarlane’s epic space adventure, The Orville: New Horizons dropped on Hulu. Recently, SciFi Vision spoke exclusively with the cast about the new season and what’s to come for the crew of the U.S.S. Orville.

Scott Grimes, who plays the character of Lieutenant Gordon Malloy, talked about his character maturing a bit this season. “[He] wants to probably settle down, find love, and become a captain someday, I would think,” teased the actor. “So, you're just going to see a side of Gordon that coincides with the show getting a little bit more serious. He's going to help out more and be there for people instead of just saying some kind of goofy thing once in a while, and I'm proud to have him evolve in that way.”
