A Deadly Adoption is a parody of the movies Lifetime is famous for — but the twist is, Ferrell and Wiig play it totally straight. Made in secret, the film was scripted by Andrew Steele, a former Saturday Night Livewriter who penned Ferrell’s similarly-deadpan big-screen send-up of telenovelas, 2012’s Casa de Mi Padre. It’s directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg, whose credits include the Lifetime movies Escape From Polygamy and Love at the Christmas Table.
A Deadly Adoption premieres June 20 at 8 p.m. on Lifetime.
