Following Lifetime's banner 2019 TV slate that included the groundbreaking and critically acclaimed documentary series Surviving R. Kelly and highly-rated V.C. Andrews' Casteel Family movie series, Lifetime builds on its success by officially greenlighting the investigative four-hour documentary Surviving Jeffrey Epstein and orders five new movies based on V.C. Andrews' Ruby Landry series for the 2020 TV season. Additionally, Lifetime commissions six Smart Justice specials with Elizabeth Smart to serve as companion docs for the network's Ripped from the Headlines true-crime movies. Lifetime also greenlights new biopic, I Was Lorena Bobbitt. And Lifetime celebrates its 30-year anniversary of the Lifetime Original Movie this year, as the network will premiere over 100 new titles in 2020.
