LIFETIME GREENLIGHTS "DEATH SAVED MY LIFE" EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY AND STARRING MEAGAN GOOD, CHIKÉ OKONKWO AND LA'MYIA GOOD FOR NETWORK'S WINTER RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES SLATE

NEW YORK, NY - November 19, 2020 - Lifetime greenlights the latest Ripped From the Headlines thriller Death Saved My Life starring Meagan Good (The Intruder), Chiké Okonkwo (Being Mary Jane) and La'Myia Good (The Wood). Real-life sisters Meagan and La'Myia Good portray siblings in the film, which is inspired by true events and tells the story of a woman who faked her own death in order to trap her husband after he hires a hitman to kill her. Produced by Jarrett Creative and debuting in early 2021, the film is executive produced Meagan Good, Julie Insogna Jarrett and Seth Jarrett. Death Saved My Life joins previously announced Ripped from the Headlines movies for the winter slate, Girl in the Basement which marks Elisabeth Rohm's directorial debut and stars Stefanie Scott, Judd Nelson, Joley Fisher and The Long Island Serial Killer: A Mother's Hunt for Justice with Kim Delaney and EP Deborah Norville.

On the surface it seems Jade (Meagan Good) has it all, a successful marketing career, a husband admired and respected in the community, and a young daughter they both dote on. But behind closed doors, her life is far from idyllic. Her husband Ed (Chiké Okonkwo) is a controlling man who is physically and psychologically abusive. When Jade decides to leave Ed he tells her "If I can't have you, nobody will," a threat which becomes very real when she discovers he has hired someone to kill her. Knowing no one will believe her, Jade realizes the only way to escape Ed is to make him believe the hitman completed the job and that she is dead. La'Myia Good plays Jade's sister Leigh.

Death Saved My Life is produced by Jarrett Creative. Executive producers are Julie Insogna Jarrett, Seth Jarrett and Meagan Good. Seth Jarrett directs from a script written by Barbara Kymlicka.
