Lifetime is set to captivate its audience with the thrilling addition to its August movie slate, I Thought My Husband’s Wife Was Dead.  This original movie, based on the gripping novel ‘Unmissing’ by Minka Kent, is brought to life by a star-studded cast. Leading the pack is the two-time Grammy® Award winner LeToya Luckett (Greenleaf, Treme), alongside the talented Sherilyn Allen (Coroner, She Went Missing) and the former pro football player Jamall Johnson (Mahalia, How She Caught a Killer).

I Thought My Husband’s Wife Was Dead centers on a beautiful wife and expectant mother, Lola Winters (Sherilyn Allen), who seems to have it all—the big house, a dashing husband, Leo Winters (Jamall Johnson), and a thriving restaurant business. But Lola’s seemingly perfect life is interrupted when a ghost from the past, Tori (LeToya Luckett), suddenly shows up at her doorstep in search of her husband, Leo, after having gone missing for 5 years and being declared dead. Tensions rise, and lives are turned upside down as Tori’s unexpected return leaves everyone questioning her motives and why she hasn’t gone to the police. Determined to start a new life, Tori demands that the Winters pay her hundreds of thousands of dollars, but before leaving town, a bombshell revelation exposes even more dark and shocking secrets.
