[Trailer] Lifetime’s Thriller Stars Meagan Good, La’Miya Good & Chiké Okonkwo
Meagan Good stars in the Lifetime thriller “Death Saved My Life,” the next movie in its popular “Ripped From the Headlines” franchise. Along with Good (“The Intruder”), the small-screen film also stars Chiké Okonkwo (“Being Mary Jane”) and Good’s real-life sister, La’Myia Good (“The Wood”). The Good sisters will portray siblings in “Death Saved My Life,” which is inspired by the true story of a “woman who faked her own death in order to trap her husband after he hires a hitman to kill her.” The film premieres Saturday, February 13 at 8:00 pm ET/PT on Lifetime.

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.
The movie 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.
In “Beyond the Headlines: Faking Death,” airing immediately after the movie at 10:00 pm, writer Elizabeth Greenwood discusses her research on the phenomenon of “pseudocide,” or faking one’s own death. Based on the experience of Jade in Death Saved My Life, Greenwood discusses the main reason why women fake their deaths, and why the disappearing woman in books and movies is so popular. She also presents real-life cases of faked deaths that have captured the public eye, and why people resort to such lengths to disappear.
“Death Saved My Life” joins Lifetime’s lineup of upcoming “Ripped from the Headlines” movies, which include “Girl in the Basement,” starring Stefanie Scott, Judd Nelson, and Joley Fisher and directed by Elisabeth Rohm, and “The Long Island Serial Killer: A Mother’s Hunt for Justice,” lead by Kim Delaney and executive produced by Deborah Norville.
