Showtime's Entitled Adds to Cast; Lifetime's Ripped from the Headline Movies for October

Entitled

Showtime has announced that Donald Sumpter (Game of Thrones), Brendan Patricks (Downton Abbey), Pippa Bennett-Warner (Gangs of London), Mark Quartley (Lucky Man), Jonathan Livingstone (Peacock), Charlotte Louise Arrowsmith (This is Going to Hurt), and Kelly Wenham (Merlin) have joined the cast of Entitled, starring and executive produced by Brett Gelman (Fleabag, Stranger Things). Co-produced by Showtime and Channel 4 in the UK, in association with All3Media International, filming began this week on the eight episode comedy series in Manchester, England. Entitled is created and executive produced by Matt Morgan (Mister Winner, The Mimic). Harry Williams, Jack Williams and Sarah Hammond of Two Brothers Pictures, the producers of the Emmy(R) winning Fleabag and International Emmy nominee Back to Life, also executive produce. Tim Kirkby (The Pentaverate, Don't Forget the Driver, Veep) will direct season one and executive produce as well. Entitled follows Gabe (Gelman), a conniving American widower who posthumously must get to know The Beaucrofts, his British wife's eccentric estranged family, in their crumbling gothic mansion in the English countryside. As Gabe's search for closure and truth reveal a newly inherited fortune, each family member's ambition comes to a head.


Swindler Seduction

Lifetime continues to dive deep into current events and add to its captivating slate of movies and casting for 2022 with the upcoming October Ripped from the Headline movies, Swindler Seduction and An Amish Sin. Premiering on Saturday October 22, Swindler Seduction features Colton Haynes (Arrow, Teen Wolf) in a dual role, playing crooked twin brothers, starring alongside Gabrielle Graham (Twenties, Possessor). The inspired-by-true events thriller exposes the world of the romantic con artists - men who earn their living off women who they fool and steal from.

An Amish Sin

The following Saturday on October 29, An Amish Sin stars Kellie Martin (Army Wives, Life Goes On), Dylan Ratzlaff (A Million Little Things, Doomsday Mom) and Rukiya Bernard (Yellowjackets, Van Helsing), and is the story of an Amish teen who tries to escape the harshness of the 18th century lifestyle she has grew up in to find her voice and independence in a neighboring city. Short form specials Beyond The Headlines: Swindler Seduction and Beyond The Headlines: An Amish Sin will debut directly after each respective premiere, and will include interviews and deeper insights among the current events highlighted. Both films will join our previously announced slate of Ripped from the Headlines movies, including The Gabby Petito Story (Oct 1), The Disappearance of Cari Farver (Oct 8), and Let's Get Physical (Oct 15). All movies will run on back-to-back Saturdays in October and debut at 8p/7c.
