MEAGAN GOOD TO EXECUTIVE PRODUCE AND STAR IN LIFETIME'S "I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO" ON AUG. 16
Inspired by real stories, the summer heat intensifies with the debut of the Lifetime Original Movie "I'll Never Let You Go," premiering Aug. 16 at 8 P.M./7C. Meagan Good returns to Lifetime to executive produce and star as Emily Westover, a poised and successful art gallery director whose life takes a dark turn after a brief, impulsive affair with a magnetic Italian artist, Carlo (Antonio Cupo, "Blood and Treasure"). Thomas Cadrot ("Merry Liddle Christmas") stars as Tom, Emily's husband, who must reconcile his emotions after learning of his wife's unfaithfulness.
When Emily's (Good, "Think Like a Man") only child, Sophia (Hana Destiny "Huggins," "The Flash"), leaves for college, she struggles with empty nest syndrome and searches for ways to reconnect with her husband, Tom (Cadrot).
Craving intimacy, she enters a passionate affair with Carlo (Cupo), a brooding artist she meets at her gallery whose captivating presence hides something far more unhinged. But when Emily realizes her mistake and tries to sever ties, Carlo refuses to let go--exposing their secret, sabotaging her personal and professional life, and threatening everything she's built. As she struggles to reclaim her marriage and sense of self, Emily is forced into a chilling confrontation that will test the limits of her strength--and how far she'll go to protect her family.
"I'll Never Let You Go" is produced by Bruce Harvey for CMW Autumn Productions Inc in association with Studio TF1 America. Joey Plager and Meagan Good executive produce. Troy Scott directs a script written by Alex Wright.
