Lifetime is back in the headlines for The evil orphana psychological drama that premieres on the network on Saturday (June 22).
Inspired by a true story, The evil orphan centers around a married couple who adopt an 8-year-old orphan with special needs. According to the film's description, the couple's ideas of a perfect family are challenged when they discover that Gabby is a troubled little girl, and the family begins to believe that things are not as they seem. As their “child's” disturbing behavior worsens and lies are revealed, the family dynamic cracks as Jessica grows increasingly concerned that adopted daughter Gabby is a threat to their family. Is Gabby just an innocent little girl? Or is there more to her story?”
The evil orphan Starring Betsy Brandt, Chloe Coco Chapman, Mark Taylor and Eve Edwards. The film is inspired by the true story of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian-born orphan with dwarfism who was adopted by a married couple, accused of being an adult, and later abandoned by the couple. Grace, now 20, shared her story on the Investigation Discovery documentary series, The Curious Case of Natalia Grace.
