Another ‘Abducted’ movie is in the works at Lifetime! Moviedelic can reveal that the network has ordered the television film ‘Abducted at the Football Game.’ The project will start filming in Calgary, Alberta, in November. The cast and crew of the TV movie are currently under wraps. The plot revolves around a father who, upon discovering that sex traffickers have abducted his daughter, sets out on a relentless mission to rescue her himself.
Lifetime has previously released several ‘Abducted’ films, making it a popular franchise. The series of standalone movies began with ‘Abducted: Fugitive for Love,’ a 2007 action drama starring Sarah Wynter. The project was followed by ‘Abducted: The Carlina White Story’ in 2012, delving into the case of Carlina White, who reunited with her real parents more than twenty years after getting abducted from the Harlem Hospital Center in New York City.
Lifetime released another true-story-inspired ‘Abducted’ film in 2019, titled ‘Abducted: The Mary Stauffer Story.’ The TV movie follows the kidnapping of Mary and Elizabeth Stauffer by Ming Sen Shiue. The latest entry in the franchise is the 2024 project ‘Abducted at an HBCU: A Black Girl Missing Movie,’ starring Naturi Naughton.
Lifetime’s crime movie catalog continues to expand with several works in the pipeline, including ‘Terror Comes Knocking.’ With Felipe Rodriguez at the helm, the film revolves around a family held hostage, facing relentless threats from an extortionist demanding an impossible ransom. As fear mounts, the family’s endurance is tested, compelling them to confront overwhelming odds in a harrowing fight for their lives.
The network recently premiered another thriller titled ‘The Neighbor Who Saw Too Much,’ which follows a teenager who becomes convinced that her new neighbor harbors a dark secret and may be a dangerous killer. When those around her dismiss her suspicions, she decides to investigate the individual alone, leading her down a path of suspense and danger. Directed by Kaila York and starring Sage Moore, Devante Winfrey, and Kia Dorsey, the film explores themes of obsession and the risks of taking justice into one’s own hands.
The previous Lifetime movies filmed in Calgary include ‘The 19th Wife’ and ‘Dying in Plain Sight.’
