LOS ANGELES, CA — Lifetime is raising the stakes this spring with the second film in its sizzling new movie franchise, Temptations, executive produced by Derrick Williams and Adriane Hopper Williams of DNA Media Group.

Premiering Saturday, April 26 at 8/7c, Fame: A Temptations Story stars Keri Hilson (Almost Christmas) and Keshia Chanté (106 & Park) as Cherish and Roxy, superstar sisters who top the music charts—but can’t escape the shadows of rivalry.
When their luxurious hotel penthouse becomes the scene of a chilling jewel heist, suspicion falls within. Rumors fly that Roxy (Keshia Chanté) may have staged the crime herself. As the tension mounts, the sisters must decide if they’ll let fame drive them apart or rediscover the bond that started it all.
