Lifetime continues its movie adaptations from Victoria Christopher Murray’s books with two further releases of their Seven Deadly Sins Anthology movies, ‘Wrath: A Seven Deadly Sins Story‘ and ‘Greed: A Seven Deadly Sins Story.’
The announcement arrives on the back end of the network’s success last year in the aftermath of their two releases, Envy: A Seven Deadly Sins Story and Lust: A Seven Deadly Sins Story, which was tuned in by over 9 million viewers.
Fair warning… Spoiler alerts are below!
Wrath: A Seven Deadly Sins Story
Michelle Williams and Romeo Miller star in Wrath: A Seven Deadly Sins Story
The movie is based on the lead character Chastity Jeffries (Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child), who happens to be a single lawyer looking for love. It just so happens that she comes across Xavier Collins (Antonio Cupo), who fits the bill in every regard.
Combining beauty with brains, he is everything that Chastity is looking for, or so she thinks until his ‘love’ turns into an infatuation that is characterized by a deep-seated fixation for control.
After realizing that she has lost herself in and amongst Xavier’s pursuance, Chastity seeks out help in the form of her mother, Sarah (Tina Knowles-Lawson), and former boyfriend, Roger Thompkins (Romeo Miller).
However, there is a race against time as Chastity must outwit Xavier, who begins to act suspiciously with temporal threats that could turn into danger. So the question is will Chastity make it out alive?

She has a loving family and the man of her dreams, Stephon Gardner (Nathan Witte), who just so happens to be an artist.
But things threaten to go awry, by Zuri’s own hands, when she meets the dashing entrepreneur Godfrey Anderson (Eric Benét) and his well-of aunt Miss Viv (LisaRaye McCoy).

With three sins left to tick off the list, we can expect next year to include a possible three installments focusing on Murray’s remaining books: sloth, gluttony, and pride.
