A new thriller comes to the Lifetime Movie Network this Friday, June 27, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET, with the premiere of My Boyfriend’s Wife Is Dead. This original film centers on Helena (Brianna Cohen), who, post-divorce, enters an unconventional relationship with a glamorous couple, Iris (Nicole Marie Johnson) and Dean (Donny Boaz). What starts as a seemingly harmless arrangement quickly spirals into a fight for survival when one of them turns up dead.
The movie wastes no time getting to the heart of the matter: Iris is brutally murdered, and suspicion immediately falls on Helena. The narrative then shifts into a race against time as Helena battles to clear her name and uncover the real killer. This setup relies heavily on the kind of suspense and romantic entanglements that are Lifetime’s bread and butter.
As is common for the network’s thrillers, the film explores themes of jealousy, betrayal, and hidden motives within the confines of a strained relationship. Helena must sift through lies and secrets, questioning everyone around her, including her new partners. Is she being framed, or is there a darker truth lurking closer to home?
My Boyfriend’s Wife Is Dead airs Friday, June 27, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET on Lifetime Movie Network.
