Jennifer Beals and Katheryn Winnick have been set to star in the Murder in Cold Country, a new Lifetime film Tess Gerritsen, creator of Rizzoli & Isles, and Dan Rosen.
The official description reads, “Miami based detective Maya Lewis (Beals) is still haunted by a brutal encounter with a serial killer who murdered her husband and held her captive for days. Desperate to rebuild her life, Maya relocates to Alaska, where she is partnered with Detective Joanna Doyle (Winnick), an accomplished officer carrying the weight of her own devastating past. The women recognize each other from group therapy and immediately are distrustful of one another. When their first case involves another therapy-group member who has been targeted by a killer using methods eerily similar to those from Maya’s past, the detectives must set aside their differences to uncover the truth.”
Beals plays Maya Lewis and Winnick plays Joanna Doyle. Greg Beeman directs from a screenplay by Gerritsen and Rosen, based on a story the two developed. Bruce Harvey produces for CMW Valley Productions Inc. in association with Studio TF1 America. Stacy Mandelberg, Timothy O. Johnson, Meghan Hooper White, Gerritsen and Rosen executive produce.
Murder in Cold Country debuts on Lifetime in winter 2027. A specific date has not been announced. The movie will be showcased to international buyers at MIP this October, and AEGM handles international rights.
