Lifetime unveiled several new projects and partnerships during its Upfront presentation this week, including talent deals, films, and the news that Queen Latifah and Taraji P. Henson have joined the network’s roster of creative partners.
Latifah will executive produce three new Lifetime original movies, while Henson will executive produce two films. Executive Vice President Elaine Frontain Bryant praised the collaboration, saying, “Queen Latifah and Taraji P. Henson are extraordinary talents and dynamic producers who share Lifetime’s passion for telling powerful stories about women.
Both have helped shape our legacy with impactful, culturally resonant projects, and we are excited to have them back in the Lifetime family, creating new films with us as we continue to expand our slate with bold, female-driven storytelling.”
