Lifetime Gets a Head Start Into the Christmas Spirit; Peacock Orders Comedic Thriller

Lifetime always finds a way to celebrate the holidays just a little bit early and this year is no exception by revealing three new movies from the 2022 holiday lineup. Legendary entertainer, Patti LaBelle gets into the holiday spirit starring with Keshia Knight Pulliam (The Cosby Show, Married at First Sight: Afterparty) in her fourth holiday film for the network, A New Orleans Noel, which also features Tim Reid (Sister, Sister) and her real-life husband, Brad James. Pulliam executive produces alongside Whoopi Goldberg (Caught in His Web) on her second Lifetime film this year. Beloved Lifetime favorites, Mario Lopez (Saved by the Bell) and Jana Kramer (Dancing with the Stars), team up as stars and executive producers for the currently untitled dance-centric romp which will also star comedian Cheri Oteri and Lopez’s real-life wife, Courtney Lopez. Brooke Elliott (Sweet Magnolias), returns to Lifetime following her long-running critically acclaimed series Drop Dead Diva, to executive produce A Country Christmas Harmony with her Sweet Magnolias co-stars, Brandon Quinn and Danny Pintauro.

The Resort

Peacock announced William Jackson Harper (Love Life, The Good Place) and Cristin Milioti (Made for Love, How I Met Your Mother) will star in the highly-anticipated comedic thriller series The Resort, a multi-generational exploration of love, marriage, and family vacations, set amidst one of the Mayan Riviera's most bizarre unsolved mysteries.
