- Tia Mowry will star in and executive produce Lifetime's new Ripped From The Headlines movie 'Single Black Tenant,' premiering June 27 at 8/7c.
- 'Single Black Tenant' centers on Esme Williams, who moves into an affordable Cleveland apartment only to suspect her landlord Angie killed the real owner and is framing her as a murder scapegoat, with blood-soaked rags found in a vacant unit as a key clue.
- Esme takes matters into her own hands and obsessively pieces together evidence after police refuse to step in.
- Bruce Harvey produces for CMW Mountain Productions Inc. in association with Studio TF1 America, with Stacey N. Harding directing from a script by Yuri Baranovsky and Angela Gulner.
- Timothy O. Johnson, Laurie Pozmantier, Stacy Mandelberg, and Mowry serve as executive producers on the project.
- The film continues Mowry's long partnership with Lifetime, which most recently included her 2024 holiday movie 'A Very Merry Beauty Salon.'
Why it matters: The June 27 premiere slots Mowry into Lifetime's Ripped From The Headlines brand at a time when the network's true-crime-inspired movies drive a reliable ratings lane, giving Mowry another starring vehicle beyond her 2024 holiday collaboration and reinforcing her dual talent-producer role.
