This is not an April Fools joke. “SNL” alums Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig are starring in a Lifetime movie, a network representative told TheWrap.
“A Deadly Adoption” is meant to be a campy take on the TV movie genre. The two-hour movie stars Ferrell and Wiig as a married couple taking care of the pregnant woman (played by “90210’s” Jessica Lowndes), whose baby they plan to adopt. Their plans become complicated as the dramatic thriller plays out.
Ferrell serves as an executive producer through his and Adam McKay‘s Gary Sanchez Productions with Mar Vista Entertainment and National Picture Show.
