*Lifetime’s “Seven Deadly Sins” movie anthology will continue with the fifth installment titled “Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story,” featuring Stephanie Mills and Erica Campbell.
The Grammy-winning singers will star opposite Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles, Keeya King, Lucia Walters, and Jaime M. Callica. The project, per the network’s news release, follows the immensely popular Seven Deadly Sins movies—Lust, Envy, Wrath and Greed.
“Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story” is executive produced by T.D. Jakes, Derrick Williams and Shaun Robinson, and inspired by actual events.
Here’s the official synopsis: “Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story tells the story of reality TV star Birdie Moore (Stephanie Mills), whose carefully constructed world starts to crumble — like the baked goods that catapulted her to fame — when her family secrets are brought to light. To salvage her legacy, Birdie must let go of the pride that estranged her from her daughter. Birdie’s pride also prevents her from seeing that her son Gabe Moore (Thomas Miles) is actually a thieving opportunist and that her granddaughter Ella Boudreaux (Keeya King) is just a lost twenty-something trying to build up her life after some missteps.”
