Lifetime is set to captivate audiences in 2025 with two new additions to its acclaimed "Ripped from the Headlines" series. These gripping dramas, based on real events, promise suspense and emotion, featuring standout performances from Dascha Polanco and Paige Hurd.

Regina King, the Academy Award-winning actress, is gearing up to embody the iconic political figure Shirley Chisholm in the upcoming film "Shirley." The highly anticipated movie, both written and directed by John Ridley, the Oscar-winning screenwriter behind "12 Years a Slave," delves into the groundbreaking 1972 presidential campaign of Shirley Chisholm, a trailblazer in American politics. Chisholm, who had previously made history as the first Black woman elected to the US Congress in 1968, shattered barriers once again by becoming the first Black candidate to vie for a major party's nomination for the presidency.
