- Tisha Campbell stars in, executive produces, and writes "One Last Shot," a Lifetime original premiering Saturday, November 14, at 8/7c as part of the network's 2026 Love of a Lifetime slate.
- Campbell is joined by Charles Malik Whitfield, Jaden Lucas Miller, and AJ Johnson — marking Campbell and Johnson's first professional reunion since co-starring in the 1990 comedy "House Party."
- In the film, Campbell plays Joy Walker, a devoted single mother whose teenage basketball phenom son (Miller) is suddenly diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor, forcing her to team with ex Royce (Whitfield).
- The story tracks Joy as she realizes a lifetime of caring for others has left her without her own identity, with her son's deterioration prompting her journey of "reclaiming" herself.
- Erica Sutherlin directs from a script co-written by Campbell and Dani Wright; Fox Entertainment Studios produces with Adam Shepard, Larry Grimaldi, Hannah Pillemer, and Fernando Szew as executive producers.
- Fox Entertainment Global will handle international distribution, and the film joins previously announced "Terry McMillan Presents: Paradise with You" (starring Taye Diggs) on the Love of a Lifetime slate.
Why it matters: Campbell's triple-threat role — star, writer, and executive producer — signals increased creative control over her Lifetime projects, while the "House Party" reunion with AJ Johnson gives the network a built-in nostalgia hook to market the November premiere.
