Lifetime has announced Double Double Trouble 2, a sequel to its 2026 thriller Double Double Trouble, with Tami Roman returning to star and executive produce. Roman reprises her roles as identical twins Drea and Ali. The original was Lifetime’s highest-rated original movie of 2026, per the network.
What happened in ‘Double Double Trouble’?
Per the official description, “Reeling from a devastating miscarriage and the collapse of her marriage, Drea (Roman) struggled to rebuild her life while her identical twin sister, Ali (Roman), found love with Ryan (Colin Lawrence), a man who represents everything Drea believed she had lost. As old wounds reopened, buried resentments and twisted loyalties resurfaced, Drea was pulled into a dangerous psychological battle with her twin, leading to deadly consequences.”
Double Double Trouble premiered Feb. 21 and delivered 625,000 adults 25 and older in Live+Same Day viewing, per Lifetime. That outperformed the network’s fiscal 2026 original-movie premiere average by 54%. Among women 25 to 64, the film delivered 235,000 viewers, exceeding the average by 90%. Lifetime said it was the network’s highest-rated original movie of 2026 and its best since 2024.
What is ‘Double Double Trouble 2’ about?
According to the official description, “After Drea made the fateful choice to assume Ali’s identity, Drea gets everything she has always wanted, the cooking show, the fiancé, the name on the wedding invitations, that is, until the hospital calls to reveal the real Ali isn’t dead after all. Drea must continue to navigate her identity as Ali, under the watchful eye of their aunt who knows something is amiss while Ali’s fiancé Ryan also starts to notice his bride doesn’t remember her own life. To complicate matters even more, a long-lost twin brother, Randy (Roger Cross), slides into Ryan’s identity as easily as Drea slid into Ali’s. By the time Ali’s memory comes roaring back, the sisters end up face to face again with a knife between them and a lifetime of resentment behind it.”
Roman plays both Drea and Ali, and Cross plays Randy. Lifetime didn’t say in the release whether Colin Lawrence returns as Ryan, though the description names the character.
James Bamford directs from a script by Sa’Rah L. Jones. Navid Soofi produces for Novus Pictures in association with Studio TF1 America. Timothy O. Johnson, Meghan Hooper White, Abbey Sibucao-MacDonald, Jill Ramsey and Roman executive produce.
Double Double Trouble 2 is slated to premiere on Lifetime in 2027.
