Lifetime’s newest LMN thriller, Shattered Vows, premieres on Friday, June 20, 2025, at 8 pm ET / 7 pm CT. According to a Lifetime schedule notice dated June 19, 2025, the 90-minute telefilm is directed by Haylie Duff from a script by Brooke Williams and produced by Danny Roth with executive support from Sebastian Battro, Tom Berry, Kayley Loveridge, John Mehrer, and Michael Roth.
The story begins on a gleaming honeymoon balcony, where bride Sarah watches her new husband, Brendan, plunge to his death. An autopsy ruled the fall a homicide. Brendan’s sister Rachel insists Sarah orchestrated the crime, yet Rachel’s mysterious death soon follows.
Sarah must clear her name to avoid prison and keep custody of her step-daughter. Shot in Georgia, Shattered Vows continues Lifetime’s “ripped-from-the-headlines” slate by blending a crime-mystery framework with family-court stakes and social-media scrutiny.
