Following the immensely popular Seven Deadly Sins movies — “Lust,” “Envy,” “Wrath and Greed,” Lifetime continues the anthology with a new sin and new movie, “Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story.”
Executive produced by T.D. Jakes, Derrick Williams and Shaun Robinson, and inspired by actual events, the movie centers on the story of a famous bakery owner and reality TV star Birdie Moore, portrayed by one of our favorites, Grammy-Award winner, Stephanie Mills. Birdie‘s past secrets, threaten the enormous success she has achieved. The film also features Grammy-Award winner Erica Campbell as Pastor Trey.
“Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story” premieres on Saturday, April 8th at 8/7c.
The prior 7 Deadly Sins Lifetime original movies – “Lust,” “Envy,” “Wrath and Greed” – attracted close to 7 million total viewers in 2022.
Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story tells the story of reality TV star Birdie Moore, whose carefully constructed world starts to crumble — like the baked goods that catapulted her to fame — when her family secrets are brought to light. To salvage her legacy, Birdie must let go of the pride that estranged her from her daughter.
Birdie’s pride also prevents her from seeing that her son Gabe Moore (Thomas Miles) is actually a thieving opportunist and that her granddaughter Ella Boudreaux (Keeya King) is just a lost twenty-something trying to build up her life after some missteps. While pride helped drive Birdie’s success, it also made her blind to what was happening around her. Will Birdie finally be able to see and admit the truth, or face the consequences of her pride?
In addition to Stephanie Mills, Thomas Miles and Keeya King, the movie also stars Lucia Walters as Shanice; and Jaime M. Callica as Khalil.
The Seven Deadly Sins movie anthology is inspired by novels from author Victoria Christopher Murray, who is a consulting producer on Pride.
